Should boys and girls be allowed to play on the same sports
In a world that constantly champions inclusion and equality, the debate over whether girls and boys should play sports together is controversial and has been widely discussed. While some people argue that girls and boys should not play together, others believe they should. Which begs the question: should they play together or stay divided? Well, let’s find out!
On one hand, sports are opportunities to develop discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. When girls are denied access to certain opportunities simply because of their gender and physical capability, they lose a vital platform for growth. Furthermore, athletic ability should be determined by participation, not gender. For example, Serena Williams was denied access to a tennis instructor simply because of her race and gender. Allowing girls to join boys' teams is not just about fairness; it is also about nurturing talent and creating a more equitable, fair, and inclusive environment by giving girls the same opportunities as boys. Additionally, mixed-gender sports help break down harmful stereotypes, showing both boys and girls that ability is not defined by gender. A 2018 study in the journal "Frontiers in Psychology" found that coed sports foster more positive attitudes about gender roles and cooperation between boys and girls.
However, some people still say they shouldn’t play together because men are generally stronger and have greater physical strength than women. This can make men’s competitions more physically intense and competitive than women’s. For example, according to worldathletics.org, the fastest woman runs a 100 meters in 10.49 seconds, which is 8140th place in mixed rankings for fastest 100-meter run, while the fastest man runs it in 9.58 seconds, which is 1st place in the same ranking. Nevertheless, it is true that there are many girls and women who are strong enough to play sports with boys, but most girls are not. Hence, if girls play with boys, they may end up losing confidence. Moreover, if boys and girls play together in sports that require a lot of physical touch, like Boxing or Kabaddi, boys may not be able to do their best, as they may try not to hurt girls.
In conclusion, while there are arguments on both sides, I believe that girls and boys should play together in sports that don’t require physical touch, with participation based on ability and merit rather than gender.
Should boys and girls be allowed to play oin the same sports?
A question title usually includes the question mark
On (the) one hand, sports are opportunities to develop discipline, teamwork, and perseverance.
Both "on one hand" and "on the one hand" get used.
HoweverOn the other hand, some people still say theyboys and girls shouldn’t play together because men are generally stronger and have greater physical strength than women.
When you start with "on (the) one hand", it leads people to expect "on the other hand" later on.
I reintroduced "boys and girls" rather than use the pronoun "they" as "they" is ambiguous here between the players and the commenters.
For example, according to worldathletics.org, the fastest woman runs a 100 meters in 10.49 seconds, which is 8140th place in mixed rankings for the fastest 100-meter run, while the fastest man runs it in 9.58 seconds, which is 1st place in the same ranking.
Moreover, if boys and girls play together in sports that require a lot of physical touchcontact, like Boxing or Kabaddi, boys may not be able to do their best, as they may try not to hurt girls.
"touch" sounds lighter, a "touch" is not something that would be big enough to worry about causing injury. "Physical contact" or "Physical impact" gets the context across here better.
In conclusion, while there are arguments on both sides, I believe that girls and boys should play together in sports that don’t require physical touchcontact, with participation based on ability and merit rather than gender.
Feedback
Another thing is there a lot of boys who aren't super physically fit and may run into the same risks in sports with high physical contact. Indeed, plenty of girls would be better prepared for difficult sports than those boys. We don't prohibit an unfit boy from playing in boys sports, so if a girl feels able to play at that level, I think she should have the opportunity too.
