I'm all for equal rights and if the girl can play who cares. But football? My mom would have killed me if I hurt a girl, football game or not. I'm gonna have to think about this one for a while. I can't see myself or my wife saying, "Great hit" to junior if it was a girl he took out.
I guess it will be a split decision between modern brain thinking that everyone is equal and old fashioned brain thinking protect the women and children.
