should female superstars be allowed to play on men's football team?

The definition of co-ed is basically boys and girls, so there should be no rule against girls playing too.  But maybe you mispoke and meant a team that is gender specific...  In that case, yes.  Good players should have the opportunity to play with other good players.  That is the only way they will develope better skills.  If a female has the ability and is better than some of the boys, let her play.  But don't lower the standards just to let her on the team.

No I think football can be a guy or girl sport. One of my good friends plays football. And she is really good. She plays for her hish school team and she plays most of the game time. I think you parents are just being over-protective.

You can try but I doubt you'll make it.  There are 250 lbs. men out there who have one thing on their minds, and thats knocking the nearest opposing player on his/her ass.  The sport is way too physical for a woman.

They're not banned.  A few years ago, there was a kicker for the University of New Mexico who was a woman.\n\nhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/football/ncaa/08/30/bc.fbc.texasst.newmexi.ap/index.html

I think it depends on the sport.  I personally don't like a female calling my football games.  However, for softball or baseball it makes good sense & I like it.

Woman can box,play hockey, & they sure can wrestle. The one thing they can't do (the majority) is play football.

No they are not allowed, it will kill the passion in the game. controversial decisions is what make football so exciting

I was a Redskinette, and we were allowed to date anyone we wanted. I suppose other teams can have different rules.

Have you ever seen some of the women that actually play full contact football? Looks like a team of high school lunch ladies!

If there is no sport for the gender, then yes. For example, if there is no girls' football team and there is a boys' football team then either (a) let the girl join the boys' football team or (b) form a girls' football team.\n\nI feel the same vice versa. In the article you linked to, I disagree with the court's ruling. Since there was no boys' gym team, the school should have made provision for him to compete with the girls' team, formed a boys' team, or allowed him to join a neighboring boys' team.

No, because guys don't play with girls in a proper match. As such, your scenario doesn't arise.

I think girls should be aloud to play football. Some are really fast. So they could play wide reciver or running back. Some girls are also really strong so they could probably tackle too.

Yes, I've always thought that women should be able to play full contact hockey.  We don't break anymore than men do.

NO!  If you're watching the sport just because you're looking at girls then you are naught but an IDIOT!  Soccer itself is a beautiful game, if you can't see that then don't bother with it.  Furthermore, women have the right to not worry about themselves being watched for that sort of thing.  The best way to avoid that is to NOT wear skimpy clothes.  If they wanted themselves watched for that they would have become models, not soccer players.  (note, not an attack on the asker:P might be a frontal on Sepp Blatter, but he has his opinion...Don't know who he is...but he has his opinion:P)
