Strapping on helmets. Hearing the crowd as they sprinted into the stadium. The hits. The fumbles and bumbles. Another chimes in, "One girl got hit so hard her helmet flew off. Girls get hurt cheerleading and playing soccer and basketball. They asked, why not ban those sports, too? They also note that Florida allows girls to play on boys' high school football teams.

Several female kickers have played, as well as a girl who substituted at quarterback in the neighboring county. For now, at least, the game is over. The powder puff game attracts more people than the boys team because if boys have to dress up like girls to do cheerleading than now girls have to dress up like boys so now it is even. The powder-puff game attracts more peoples than the boy's team because everything is opposite.

Also, the boys are dressed up as girls and its funny to watch everything they do. My high school hosts flag football every year, but I would love to play tackle. The girls were more interesting. The boys are good and all but the girls are more unique than the boys. I can't believe that the football thing was played at least more than 50 years. But also I never knew that while boys dress like female cheerleaders in tight shorts, crop tops and wigs, the girls get to experience the thrill of competing before a crowd instead of playing softball or soccer in front of a few dozen parents and friends.

The powder-puff game attracts more people than the boys team because it is a lot more common to see boys playing football rather than girls.

Girls playing football goes against gender-roles which people probably like to see. I am sad to hear that this isn't happening again because it would have raised a lot of money for the school and people enjoyed watching. I don't think it was a good idea because the article said, "The game fills the stands, something the Jupiter boys' team rarely does. The powder-puff game attracts more people than the boys team because the girls game is different and unique.

People can see many different football games played by boys by going to games or simply turning on the TV. However, it is more difficult to find a game where girls are playing. I am disappointed that these girls are not able to play this year, because the school is losing money and it seemed like a game everyone would like to see. I agree with the article when it says, "Girls get hurt cheerleading and playing soccer and basketball. Teacher Sign Up. No more tackle powder-puff football.
