I used to think the same as most here until my daughter wanted to play hockey 3 years ago. She was 7 when she started.
Its a man's sport but I agreed but no girls league, your gonna play with the guys.
At first I figured she would get knocked in the boards a few times, roughed up and call it quits..right?
I was wrong, my girl has attitude. Seen her throw her gloves off more than once going after a kid. Shes put more than one boy in the boards.
If she can do it with no special rules cuz she's a girl. More power to them

I hate to break this to you, but the difference is staggering. I say that as someone who's practiced with an NHL team, and played an exhibition against the US Women's Olympic team.
After 15, it isn't happening in any decent program with > mediocre talent.
So one day when I was 45, my girlfriend decided she could outrun me. Now she plays soccer constantly, was on her college soccer team and runs 5 miles a day,,,,,and was 10 years younger than me. Plus, I was smoking a pack a day at the time and hadn't run more than a mile in 20 years. Her 2 daughters were so excited to see the big race and their mommy teaching me a lesson. I got up off the couch, didn't even change from office shoes. We went to the park,,,,,Go!.... In the 100 yd, from about 15 yds behind me, I her her gasp "Holy Schidt".....She never made fun of me after that.
It's not that I'm amazing,,,,it's male vs. female in physical ability.

So you’re ok with men playing on the women’s basketball team, track team, tennis team, golf team, etc? No special rules, just play the same as the girls. If that happens, girls sports are over.

IMO women sports is basically dying anyway.
Eventually they will make my daughter join a all girls team. We asked her if she wanted to go on a girls team this season but she wants the challenge.
This gets unreal. They let her get up and give a lecture to the football team at half time. This was before she had even played a single down of football.
VANDERBILT’S SARAH FULLER PUBLICITY STUNT INCLUDED A HALFTIME SPEECH by JOE KINSEY a day agoupdated a day ago 19Comments If you were on the fence about whether Vanderbilt using soccer goalie Sarah Fuller as a fill-in kicker for Saturday’s game against Missouri was a publicity stunt or a necessity, you got your answer on Sunday when it was announced that Fuller had given a halftime speech to her new teammates. Keep in mind, Fuller hadn’t yet stepped foot on the field for her kickoff before giving this speech.
ESPN reporter Courtney Cronin jumped on a Zoom call to chat with Fuller about her time on the Vandy football team and that’s when we learned that Fuller was given the floor to address her fellow football players.
“If I’m going to be honest, I was a little pissed off at how quiet everybody was on the sideline,” Fuller told Cronin. “We made a first down, and I was the only one cheering and I was like – what the heck? What’s going on? And I tried to get them pumped up, and I was like, ‘You guys need to start [cheering] your team on.’
“My main thing was during the SEC tournament, my entire team was cheering the entire time. It didn’t matter if we were in the locker room or if they were on the sidelines, I think that’s what won it for us. Everybody was cheering non-stop. I just went in there, and I said exactly what I was thinking. I was like, ‘We need to be cheering each other on. This is how you win games. This is how you get better by calling each other out for stuff, and I’m going to call you guys out.’
“We need to be supporting one another. If we get a first down, if an interception happens, it’s our fault. We need to be lifting each other up. That’s what a team’s about. I think this team has struggled, and that’s been part of it. We really just need to build that team camaraderie where they can all lean on one another. It was an adjustment going from that team mentality where – hey, we’re all here supporting one another, and I just wanted to bring that to this team.”
Where do we even start with this nonsensical, Disney-ification of the football season that coronabros and coronasisters didn’t want to happen? If you haven’t read Jason Whitlock’s column on this Fuller story, it’s worth your time. Start there.
As for this speech, you mean to tell me that a kicker who was pulled off the women’s soccer team and who started practicing with the football team on Tuesday was given the floor to lecture teammates on Saturday?
“I hope I gained their respect. It wasn’t ill-intentioned at all, I just want this team to succeed and do well,” Fuller told Cronin. “I’m a Vanderbilt student-athlete. I want all our sports to succeed. I call it how I see it, and I’m not going to BS anybody. Didn’t want to BS them.”
Do you think freshman players on the women’s soccer team who’ve never seen the field get up and give speeches to players who’ve given four years to a program? Nope. Not happening.
There’s no further debate about this. Fuller was used as a publicity stunt, and it is clear as day ESPN had its hands in it. Don’t be shocked if we find out soon that ESPN had cameras rolling during Fuller’s hero speech.

I guess staring at 41-0 and 0-8 they deserved it! LOL!
That would sure suck - do nothing but lose, get lectured by a bitch, and then get razzed by your friends for playing with a bitch.
