I've seen girls play football, and I think guys're afraid of getting their asses kicked.
In all seriousness, women are just too small to play offense (those guys get up to 300 lbs), but I don't see why a bulky woman couldn't play defense. Plenty of cornerbacks, etc are under 200 lbs.

There is actually a womens pro football league here in the US and a number of other organizations for it. It can be a sport for girls, but to be honest it's not something I would be excited to watch and I'm a huge football fan. If a women could grow to have the strength and quickness of Reggie Bush or something I would love to watch it, but that normally doesn't happen,.

because girls skeletal frames and ligaments are not designed to withstand the same abuse and punishment that mens bodies are. Mens bones and joints are bigger thicker and stronger then womens. Plus their muscle ratio is considerably less than a mans.
Also, football is a sport that requires a fair amount of upper body strength, something women's bodies are not as proportionately lent to as mens.
All that said, I think there are acceptions where the sport can be designed to be played by women, just like all other professional sports. And iam quite sure that women playing football would kick just as much *** as men playing. Just like women playing basketball kick just as much *** as men.

It is not a game for girls, I dont care how tough you think you are. The better question would be: why on earth would any girl want to play it? It was invented to give men an excuse to run around on a field, scratch and adjust their balls in public, slap each other on the *** without getting called gay, and take out theier aggressions on fellow males. It makes no sense at all. Football and boxing....definatly invented by men.

great question i'd like 2 know the answer as well! i mean, how sexist can u b? why does every1 think we'r not capable of a sport such as football, soccer or rugby? i guess it's because guys are scared that we'll beat them on their own turf!! thumbs up for all u feminists out there!! and 4 all those telling u that girls aren't tough enough...hello, wake up! it's not as if girls'll b up against boys on the field! it'll b girl against girl, so the risks aren't that high...

I read an article in a magazine (YM i think) a few years ago about a girl who did join her school's football team. She was tackled, and hurt very badly... she had to use a wheel chair for a long time and everything
it's not men being sexist! women just aren't made for everything!

You tell me. Lets take a 300 pound football player and pit him against a oh lets say a 185 pound girl. What do you think is going to happen? Lets ask the girl when she wakes up from her concusion.

I don't think that at all. I played football in high school and I'm a girl.... I was the first female kicker on the varsity team. It was a blast.
