There has been a large amount of discussion lately about women playing in men's sports and i think that the discussion has gotten a little too out of hand. The idea that women are playing in men's sports sounds completely wrong when you first think about it, but what is really wrong about it?
The idea that women believe that are just as good as men or can compete with men is probably not completely wrong. There are a large amount of women that are better than men in sports. So why not let them try to prove it at some level. The idea that women do not have sports like football or wrestling shows that there should be some opportunity for women to compete if they desire to. Why Not?
It is obvious in the videos that we watched that the girl wrestlers can compete and are fairly good at what they do. They can be physical and work just as hard as men so is there really an issue? The only issue that i see with women in mens sports is the fact that some males are going to be made fun of when they lose to females just like what happened in the video.
So what is the overall consensus? Should women compete in mens sports or should they just stick to the sports that are offered to them? It is a tough decision but it is a decision that some of us may have to deal with in high school and maybe even college sports.

I am glad you realize that you may have to deal with these issues in high school and college sports. I am also glad you can see the efficacy of allowing girls to compete in sports that have been typically reserved for boys.
