Persuasive Essay On Coed Sports

In boy’s football, boys can grab their opponent’s chest to push them back. If girls were to play with boys, boys could not be able to push back girls without being called out for being “unmannered”. Boys are generally also bigger, heavier, and taller than women. When it comes to sports such as football, men naturally have the upper hand. To make the game equal, there would have to be a whole new set of rules on what boys can and cannot do. Even so, many schools still implement co-ed teams, saying that girls should be able to play with boys and that it is false to say that girls cannot compete with boys on an athletic level. They also claim that putting boys and girls on the same team promotes gender-diversity and equality, whilst also

My first point is when do we decide boys should play with boys and girls should play with girls. Everyone develops at their own rate, which means that some girls develop at a faster rate than boys and could be able to compete fairly. A 12 year old girl named Makhaela Jenkins took this idea to court in 2013. She was fighting for her right to play on a boys only football team. She won her case, and that year there was more then 1,500 girls playing on boys football teams, which is a 17% increase since 2009, according to the National Federation of State high school Association.

I think boys should be able to play volleyball because girls can wrestle and play football but boys cannot play volley ball I think that is stupid and kind of sexist, boys can’t play volleyball but girls can play football and they can wrestle

In the world of sports it started off that girls could never play sports and then in 1972 a public law called Title IX came to existence which allowed girls to play sports but not with boys. Today the question is asked should girls play on boys’ sports teams? One would think that girls should not play with boys on a sports team because boys are just naturally taller and stronger than women and they would dominate the girls in a fully contact sport. Another may think that if a girl is truly capable to play on an all boys’ sports team, then she should not be denied the opportunity to try out for an all boys’ team. Some other people may believe that sports at younger ages should remain co-ed because boys and girls body types are still

Although many people may think that boys and girls should not be on the same team, it should be a right and privilege. Girls and boys should have the choice whether or not to play on the same teams. Not only is it more entertaining, but it is an act of our freedom to play with whoever they pick.

Girls shouldn’t be allowed to play on boys soccer teams, because of boys are more

Throughout history, woman have been fighting for equality with men. This fight isn’t over and doesn’t stop with the right to vote or the right to wear pants. The progressive movements of feminism are starting to creep into younger generations, including, but not limited to young girls wanting to play on predominantly male-dominated sport teams. There are a lot of controversies when looking at this topic, saying there’s a natural strength advantage, it would be uncomfortable for a male to compete alongside females, among other reasons but ultimately, if the drive and effort is present, there are legal rights and no legitimate reason for woman to not be given the opportunity to prove themselves and normalize the incorporation of females to male sports.

Women can be just as good as men in sports, they just have to work a little bit harder because of the obstacles presented to them. Also, women’s inclusion in male dominated sports like major league baseball have nothing to do with their performance but with sexism. In 1931, a 17 year old girl by the name of Jackie Mitchell struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in the same day. A few days later her contract was voided with the excuse that women were too delicate to play. If little boys and girls played in coed sports from the beginning other than a few choice teams in elementary school there would be

When it comes to girls being able to play on sport teams, I favor this simply because it is a right for them to do so, the allegations formed against are unfair and unjust, and being placed on a team should be determined by skills, determination and abilities rather than gender.

In the United States, a report by the National Women’s Law Center found that about 28 percent of coeducational public high schools don't offer equivalent resources to girls’ sports teams. Team USA's soccer victory should generate greater interest in women's sports and interscholastic competitions that could ignite professional athletic careers.

Even though there are many schools that allow their students to play together, I think that it is a bad idea. If a girl is going to play a sport with a boy, she could get hurt. Yes, you can get hurt in any sport, boy/girl, but if a girl plays football, she might get really hurt if she is weak.

I believe girls should be able to play on boys sports teams because it could get them ready for when they grow up. It would prepare both males and females for the challenge of life and having to work together. If girls and boy play on the same sports teams they could learn early on how to work together better and be more comfortable around the other gender. It could also expand popularity and it would make girls more equal to boys. The advanced girls who have no competition against other girls could now play against

Allowing Boys and Girls to play together may build life long friendships, which results in a happier life. It is often stereotyped that girls are not as strong or not as fast as boys, and in some cases this is true but sometimes it’s not. A sport called CrossFit has been redefining what it means to “Play like a girl”. At my school, Girls can play football but Boys cannot play volleyball. I believe that if you do not allow boys and girls to play together, they might not develop social skills with the

Sports become stereotyped as gender-neutral, feminine, or masculine based on conceptions regarding gender, gender differences, and beliefs about the appropriateness of participation due to gender (Colley et al., 1987; Csizma, Wittig, & Schurr, 1988; Koivula, 1995; Matteo, 1986). Sports labeled as feminine seem to be those that allow women participants to act in accordance with the stereotyped expectations of femininity (such as being graceful and nonagressive) and that provide for beauty and aesthetic pleasure (based on largely male standards). A sport is labeled as masculine if it involves the following: 1) attempts to physically overpower the opponent(s) by bodily contact; 2) a direct use of bodily force to a heavy object; 3) a

Women. Men. They are both a unique and special being that is on earth. In a perfect society, men and women would have the same physical strength and they would be completely equal. The idea of women and men being able to play against each other is wonderful but realistically it might not work out as great. Of course, women can do anything men can do, but in a competitive situation like this, the results of this change could bring forth more negative impacts than positive ones. In professional sports, women and men should be kept separate due to being biologically different and because of the possibility of the quality of the performances in the sports decreasing.
