  1. I think woman should be able to play whatever they want to. That is because it doesn’t say only males, no it doesn’t so they should be able to play it if they want to. It is a CO-ED sport so everybody should be able to play it as well as I think we should get more females to play football.

  2. A girl playing football is a little different but if that’s what they want to do and they are successful at what their doing and doing good enough to earn a scholarship then keep doing it.

        I agree. If a girl is capable, she should be given the same opportunity. It is up to her to prove herself and make the most of that opportunity.

  3. Although I do believe that girls should be given equal opportunities to play the sports they love, I think that girls playing football (especially in college) isn’t the best idea. Kicking is one thing, but the gruesome hits that take place on the field are like no other play in any girls sport.

  4. I think it is great because girls should have all the same opportunities as boys. Also if she put her mind to it and wanted to play there should be no reason on why she can’t.

  5. I think it’s great. Women should have equal opportunities and if she put as much work in as all of her male competition, then she deserves to get a scholarship.

  6. I think that women should be able to play football because there shouldn’t be gender divisions in sports, all sports should be available to all.

  7. No matter the Gender, race, age if someone can excelle at a certain aspect of a game which is dominated by males. This showed that it’s 2018 baby and that anything is possible now. Sooner than later a female president will be elected.

  8. I think that girls should be allowed to play football if the are good enough. If they have the talent to preform at the same level as guys do, there should be no problem with them getting to participate.

  9. I think that someone doing something that they enjoy and that they are good with it something they should be able to do without having to hear about how other people don’t approve of their choices. I also think that she is very brave for even trying out for football, I’d never have that much courage

      Eja, that’s a nice sentiment, but it’s just not realistic. Boys can run faster and are more powerful. It’s one thing to compete with other females, but competing against males in most sports, is just not a fair contest. When a woman plays in the NBA, NFL or can compete against men in swimming, running… I will change my opinion.

  10. I definitely think girls should have the same chance to play football but it is so commonly known as a single male sport. As a rugby player, I do think girls could thrive in football seeing how they play in rugby and this story is a step to getting that opportunity.

  11. I think that as a girl, it does seem dangerous , and you can get hurt a lot easier. I do also think if a girl wants to risk it that we should respect it, cause females should feel welcomed. Girls can do anything a boy can honestly , just for football it’s more of a risk .

  12. If a girl wants to play football, and has proven that her talent is that of any other player, she should without doubt be able to play. I wonder why we haven’t pondered a women’s football team so that girls like Becca aren’t forced to play with men who are negative and doubting of her abilities.
