I just have to share this because well it sort of hit home with me! My DAUGHTER played in their championship game today its the end of the season she played pee-wee football (yes I said she)...She was the ONLY girl that was brave enough to sign up for pee-wee football and play every game. I prepared her in the beginning for all the nasty names boys would probably call her or the ugly things they would probably say about her because she was a girl playing football AND doing well at it. As parents it is our responsibility to prepare our children for the future no matter what that future holds both the victories and the defeats. We ARE that little voice of hope in their hearts and minds whispering to try it one more time. I sure as HELL would be mad if the coaches decided to forfeit they could potentially taking away their victory or defeat either way they took away a potential life lesson. My daughter played sick, she played hurt, she twisted her ankle on the field then someone cleated it then someone fell on it and she would limp back up to the line but when the whistle blew she was 100% playing like she was suppose to. Every time someone told me Dang I can't believe my boy got tackled by a girl I just smile inside and quietly say "THATS MY GIRL!!!" (ok maybe not so quietly sometimes) LOL
