In college can a girl join an intermural flag football team? I mean, I know they probably "can" but do many girls do it?

of course. I think the best players, regardless of gender, race, etc., should play. That being said, there are some obvious reasons why there are no women in the NFL. The first is the obvious physical handicap. I'm not trying to say that men are a better race than women at all!!!!. But when you look at basic genetics, men have adapted to male lifestyles (sports, bluecollar physical work, etc) and are naturally built bigger, stronger, and faster than women are, and women are built essentially to have children. For example, The mens' and womens' world records for the 100 meter dash are separated by nearly a full second. The second reason is the brain chemical difference between men and women. Speaking specifically of the hormone testosterone. This is the chemical that fuels the "opening a can of whoop-***" that is essential in all sports, but especially football. For instance, watch any defensive player make a big hit and immediately get up and beat his hands on his chest and shake violently. That is the drive that women do not posess, generally speaking. But if you are good, I say go for it.

absolutely. The high school I taught at had a female defensive back. She could knock other players down as well as her male counterparts. got for it. No offense here, but throwing a football is an acquired skill. Have a brother or male/female friend who knows how to do it teach you. Also, practice WR. Work some defense...Then, you'd be ready. Good luck and play like Bob Sanders.

Of course they do! At my school, me and my friends love to play it, and we are better than most of the boys because we are so athletic. It is fun, and not just for guys.

Well it does not matter if other girls do it. It only matters if you want to do it. If you want to do it then go for it. If you don't like it don't feel ashamed just go for another sport like basketball.
