Question
Ok so as you might figure out I'm a girl. I play football and i hang out with all guys. The rough and tough stuff is no big deal for me. When it comes to how i play well i can kick all their butts, and i can take the falls and have suffered from quite a few concussions but it doesn't stop me from playing. I even watch football every Sunday night and scream at the TV like all the guys. GO PATRIOTS. OK so I'm 14 and i want to someday be in the NFL except i keep seeing all these sexist rules on how girls can't play cause they can't take the contact. WOULD i be wasting my time to try out for football teams in the future. Is it a possibility that i can fight my way to being on a team in the NFL?

Answer
Go ahead and try out for a High school team, many girls have played in high school, but realistically even if you were a boy your chances of playing in the NFL would be very slim, your chances as a female are less than that, study hard and learn the game's nuances, there are some female coaches as well.

Good luck
