Society is Accepting...

This article talks about how desegregation in athletic participation is changing. Society is beginning to accept girls who are good enough to play on boys teams, especially in high school where certain sports are only offered for boys. I defiantly agree with this. if a girl is good enough, why not let her? I guess there could be a negative side to this though. I would wonder how well the girl got treated and if she had the respect she deserved. Also if she was on a boys team, i wonder how comfortable she would feel. Like say it was a girl on a boys hockey team, would she have to change in a separate locker room, would she want to, how would that make her feel? Idk, just things to think about. And if this is allowed what do you think about boys joining girls teams? Would this be ok too? Honestly, i don't know which way i would go with this one. I wouldn't want boys to over-populate and dominate a girls team, but maybe having a few boys on a girls team would be ok. IDK! What do you all think?
