A few thoughts based on knowledge and love of kids and sports. I have coached baseball teams w/ boys and girls. One of the best players on one team was a girl named Jessie Vetter. A real tomboy, diamond rat. She went on to be the goalie on the silver medal winning, US Women's hockey team. Our local high school didn't have girl's hockey. But, Jessie was allowed to try out for the boys team and started varsity for 3 years. I coached Jessie's older brother in baseball as well. He was a good player, Jessie was better. This girl should be given a chance to compete. And, for the past few decades, coaches of women's b-ball teams have had them scrimmage against the boy's teams to help them learn to be more physical. I look upon this as a dad simply sticking up for his daughter. But again, I love kids..boys AND girls. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-78072012959059384542016-12-23T14:50:09.130-05:002016-12-23T14:50:09.130-05:00Everybody sues for everything.
