This is REDICULOUS... My daughter is 11 yrs. old and when we lived in Cincinnati, she played for the St. Dominic Blackhawks. She went from playing just a couple minutes at the end of the games to starting every game. She's taken hits that would make everyone cringe. She was pinned against some kids on her team big enough to make me run.. and I'm a bouncer.. ( no, I'm not huge,, I'm a size 6, 35 yr. old, 129 lb. 5 ft 2 in. little white girl ).. This child has come home with the usual bruises on the non-padded areas and such, but she LOVED it, and didn't care at all about those little bruises.. I say this is sexist and an outrage..

       This poor little girl only wants to do what she loves. Just like my daughter.. GET A GRIP people.. Girls are by far tougher than most boys. Those who think otherwise need to grow up and get a clue.

     Both my husband and I am sickened.
