Boys and Girls Are Equal, but Not when it Comes to Sports

         Boys and girls should not be able to play on the same sports team, because it will increase the number of injuries, it will become more distracting, and many other reasons. First of all, you have aggression. Second, is that it will cause distractions. Last of all, it will decrease how safe you are when you play sports. Those are just a few of the many reasons.

         Now, go back to aggression. Boys are proven to be more aggressive than most girls. Boys are also proven to be larger than most girls too. Last, depending on how much you work out will determine how strong you are. Boys are always about working out so they tend to be just a little stronger than some girls. If you imagine all of those traits together it’s like a train that won’t stop for anything. Now, if you are not used to that you will become injured if you are hit or accidentally hit depending on the type of sport you are playing.

         Next, you have distractions. Distractions are already caused during games, but if girls and boys were allowed to play together on the same team there would be even more. For example, say you were going out with the person on the other team and you were guarding them. They are coming down the field/court and you let them score on you because you didn’t want to hurt their feelings. For the next situation say you saw someone on the other team that was really attractive. You are guarding them and you just stop doing everything and just stare at them. Then, the next thing you know they scored on you. For the next example say you were wrestling someone the opposite sex of you. So, you get really nervous and embarrassed because you don’t want to wrestle them because it would be very awkward if you did and if you lost you would be embarrassed. Over all, distractions can be used as advantages or disadvantages.

         Last of all, is safety. As stated earlier, if you saw someone very big, strong and super aggressive coming down the court/field and you have to defend them and they hit you. Say you were a girl and you’re not used to being hit like that. If that’s the case you could get severely injured. Next, say you were distracted by someone and you get hit or accidentally hit, you could get easily be injured by that. Last of all, people are already injured today, so all you would be doing is increasing the chance of injury.

         All in all, Aggressiveness is one of the reasons why boys and girls should not be allowed to play on the same sports teams, along with distractions and safety. Just think about it. Do you want to increase the injury percent? Or do you want to decrease the injury rate? Everyone has lived with it before. It’s your choice.
