Should Girls and Boys Sports Teams
Compete in the Same League?
By Jonathan Rosario
Sports News Editor
School news Reporter
I think that boys and girls should be able to
compete - to a certain extent. For example, I
do not think that boys and girls should be
able to go against each other in football
since someone is 100% going to get hurt. It's
scientifically proven that boys are stronger
than girls and in this sport, you are attacking
each other. For sports that aren't as physical,
like golf, they should be able to compete as
long as they both agree that they´re up to
playing against each other. Age is also a very important factor. I
would say before the age of 14-15
boys and girls should be able to
compete against each other. When
they start going through puberty and
afterwards, I think around ages 14-15
is not safe.
Playing against the really good
competition will help you improve as a
person or team. Therefore, I do think
that they should be able to play
against each other. There shouldn't be
any type of discrimination. It will also
help little kids learn that some things
If you want to weigh in on any topics that aren't JUST for boys and girls because
I've written about, email I feel like we still have a problem with

326 Native American reservations across
the United States with 4.5 million Natives

point is that recently Congress approved
money for the Native American tribes in the
American Rescue Plan and Jill Biden, the first
lady, did a two- day meeting with the
Navajo Tribe and the officials to talk about
their needs post-Covid- 19 outbreak. So I do
