    Well of course he should be allowed to play. The leftists can't have it both ways. Maybe I can talk my son into going to college on a women's basketball scholarship. I would have loved being on the women's bball team. I would have been like a kid in a candy store. Well, I was pretty much like a kid in a candy store anyway during my college days.

    What do you mean by "boy" and "girl" ?

    One is a male - the other is a female.

    No boys should not be on a girls team and visa verse. Under any circumstances.

    Rev. We must encourage the leftists to drown in their own poison. Men taking over women's sports will cause a riff between the Dimmocrats and the women.

    "Janelle Irwin...is competing on the boys' bowling team because the school doesn't offer the sport for girls....Irwin, in her third year on the Gibbons varsity, carries a team-leading 203 average....Her 689 triple over the weekend at the Rotterdam Invitational was second among individuals in the boys' small-school division."

    "Irwin, who has a high game of 289 and high triple of 771...has taken dance lessons since she was 3. ''It helps me with balance and coordination,' she said"

    For the most part - I would assume bowling is a non-contact sport - and
    there would be no problem with locker rooms.

    Back when I was on our HS chess team, no girls were interested. In fact, no girls were in the chess club! :Frown

    However, there does seem to be a trend nowadays for girls to play chess, and do it rather well. Google "chess girl." It seems that some of these young ladies are using their feminine "charms," as it were, to kerflummox the young men. Well I say, young millennial men need to learn to concentrate more anyhow! :D

    Now, lest anyone think I would approve of boys or girls playing on an opposite gender team in a physical sport (B-ball, F-ball, wrestling, etc.), I was a wrestler in HS, and there is no way possible I could have wrestled effectively against a girl. In the martial arts there is a term, mind hit. That is a psychological ploy to upset your opponent's mental equilibrium. A boy playing any sport against a girl would be an automatic mind hit against the boy.

    On the other hand, a boy on a girls' team is just not fair. On the average, he will be faster and stronger. That's just basic biology. If it were not so, women would be in the men's Olympics. Duh! ;)

    Men and women compete on equal terms in the Olympic equestrian events, which doesn't negate the "On the average..." statement above, as those events hinge on control of an animal with far stronger muscles than any human (though strength is needed to exercise that control.) For several past summer Olympics the "men's" shooting events were actually open (1968-80, and shotgun through 1992), with 2 medals won by women in those men's/open events.

    This latter doesn't surprise me, as many years ago when I participated in the Junior NRA rimfire program (my dad, with helpers, ran our town's program), the girls generally shot better than the boys, until about age 13-14 when all the girls and most of the boys moved on to other things. The few boys who stayed with the program got farther toward its summit (Distinguished Rifleman) than had any of the girls, though none of our participants achieved D-R.

    Hmm - makes me wonder - In a Basic Combat training unit - with mem and women, would be interesting to see how the women did compared to the men - (Marksman, sharpshooter, Expert)

    Some of the best competition shooters I know are women. Look at Team CZ and Team Glock.
