What's your thoughts on this? If you have a daughter, would you allow her to play?
Personally I'm fine with it. But, how long before she take a hard shot from her blind side?

Girl plays QB in High School Football game

I don't see a problem with it, her bones are just as strong as mine. It's her choice to play, so let her.
For taking a hard shot from the blind side, it happens to everyone Male or Female

If a girl/woman is talented enough and has the physicality to earn a spot over her male peers, there's no reason she shouldn't be able to. Being a guy doesn't prevent QB's from being knocked around, that's why there are so many rules to try and keep that position as safe as possible in such a violent sport.

Well, women aren't made of glass you know
. Should be about as bad for a girl as it is for a boy and QB is not a linesmen where you need your power to push people around.

No doubt, but her size is what would scare me. 5'6" and only 150 lbs. She's going to be giving up an awful lot of size compared to the guys who will be hitting her. A blitzing 6'+ 200lbs+ linebacker can do some serious damage on a similarly sized opponent, hitting someone who is so much smaller will be an absolute trucking.

A piece happy news, equality is a good thing.
If she and her coach think she is good enough she deserve the spot as much as anyone else.
Best of luck to her
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Her height is actually her biggest obstacle.

Moved to Sports section.
This really isn't that big. In the first game, she handed the ball of twice to burn time. And as the article mentioned, other girls were playing football as well, just none at QB in Florida. They don't mention what she did in the newest game.

I don't think girls should be allowed to play on an all boys team. My High School had a volleyball team, but it was just for girls. There was not a mens volleyball. If I wanted to play on it, I'm sure I would have just gotten a "hell no". That's how this should be.

If she wants to play football and she knows the risks, such as being singled out and flattened, let her. If you want to play volleyball and actually PLAY volleyball and not just stand there and drool until you get beaned in the face with the ball, sure, go ahead. Originally Posted by Regalbeast

we had a female kicker on our HS football team.
a female QB in texas would probably suffer a broken neck though.

Don't matter to me. We had a girl on our football team. Sounds like they are just doing it for the publicity.

publicity springs up when they hear the word "quarterback"
I don't worry too much about her getting hurt, she's a girl and she's small, they probably would not try and batter her too much, besides she's 3rd string and the game is decided by the time she would come in

This isn't an "All Boys" league, she's just the first one to play QB. As long as she's not expecting anyone to take it easy on her, I see no problem. Originally Posted by Regalbeast

I think it is awesome. I have known several girls who love football and said they would love to play but they never did anything with it. I'd be very interested to see a girl, in any position get drafted to some college to play for, and then make it into the NFL. That would be the coolest thing but who knows if/when it would happen

its irresponsible to allow her to play. She is a tiny thing (according to description). If she was more big and bulky, then she will be perfect for the position. Right now, i think it is she is overkill target.

If she and her coach think she's up to it, then go for it. Same as any male player. That's all that matters.
