I wouldnt, but I do understand why it doesnt make any sense for the opposite gender to play on the team. Guys are generally a lot stronger than girls, so I think that would give them an unfair advantage, where if a girl plays on the boys team she needs to acknowledge that she is taking a risk and will need to accept the consequences. Nothing drives me crazier than seeing guys go easier on a girl who is playing with generally all males. She wouldnt be there if she wanted you to go easier on her. That being said, if the girl does expect special treatment, she needs to gtfo.

First year I played defensive half back; second year linebacker. They usually didnt even realize I was a girl until the end of the game when I took my helmet off, so id say I got it just as hard as the rest of my team.

Touche ;)

None! We didn't change in the same change rooms, I might add.

Sexism: One guy quit the team "because I joined and girls shouldnt play football". I think he was just upset that I took his position because I was better than him. Best experience: Hearing "holy shit, number 23 was a girl!" after shaking their hands after the game with my helmet off. Worst experience and wanting to quit: This douche on our team was purposefully trying to hit me harder than everyone in practice, which in turn did the opposite and made me want to work harder to prove him wrong. I did. No quitting for me.
