A few weeks ago, we wrote about a young girl who was banned from a boys basketball league because parents of the boys didn't like seeing their sons dominated by a better female player. That story got us thinking about a number of things related to gender roles in athletics. Should the best girls be permitted to play with boys so they can better develop their skills? Should boys who struggle on their regular teams be permitted to play in girls leagues because they may be a little taller or stronger? What if we take it one step further? If a young woman wants to play baseball in college, doesn't she have to tryout for the men's team? What if a male student wants to play softball? Should he be allowed to cross the gender barrier and play that sport, since it's not offered for men at the college level?
