1) There are no specific college scholarships for theater, band, flags, Science Olympiad, Math League, and a whole host of other high school endeavors. Are these activities not valuable? And does this mean these activities don’t help prepare students for college or help them get into the school of their choice? Of course not–college scholarship sports aren’t the only valuable high school activity.

2) I expected to play Division 1 (tennis) from before I entered high school. I decided I also wanted to play field hockey in high school. I ended up playing Division 1 tennis in college (full ride). Does this mean my time spent playing field hockey was wasted? Me personally, I enjoyed high school field hockey a lot more than high school tennis.

3) My field hockey team made the state finals my senior year. I estimate that our entire starting line-up could have played D1 hockey somewhere and D3 hockey anywhere. We had 3 players make the 1st Team All-State and 1 make the 2nd Team All-State (me). Of our starting 11, only the All-Staters went on to play college sports at any level. All of the All-Staters played Division 1, but only 2 played field hockey. I told some of my teammates that they could go play in college (and go to school for free), but they weren’t interested. If players who were capable of getting a college scholarship weren’t interested, why should we assume that’s the ultimate goal?

Their general approach has historically been that athletic opportunities equip girls and women to compete in the “real world” against dudes who have always had these opportunities. That said whenever new women’s sports surface that don’t fit their true social engineering objectives their true colors come out. It’s never been about letting girls compete in things they want to compete in like cheerleading or flag football, it’s about their agenda, which at base has little to do with sports.

There is now plenty of proof out there that these women and the organizations that support their philosophies are purely the “sports subsidiaries” of their larger social movements. The unfortunate truth is that political correctness prevents a discussion of what actually drives these people.

The only thing we know for sure is that now that the battle has moved into the courtrooms we are assured that positions will continue to become more polarized and significant difficulties lie ahead.

If people are worried about obesity, have kids move more and eat fewer carbs.

Flag football gets kids moving.
