Since there are not many women playing football, it should be possible for them to join a mens football team.

It is, if they qualify.

I honestly wish more women would try out for football, though I completely understand at least some of the reasons why they might not want to.

There are few if any women who would be able to make a D1 football team, and it's an inherently unsafe sport, so I'm not sure I agree.

Ah yes, hello modern misogyny, thanks for showing up!

No one said D1, and there are plenty of women who could make football teams in CFB. People like you are probably why they shouldn't bother.

Ah yes, let's increase the pool of people exposing themselves to CTE on a regular basis, and attack someone's moral character if they think otherwise. Thanks for attempting to engage in a rational discussion.

Oh right, because women can't decide for themselves how to live, so thank god a man like you can step in and prevent them from making the horrible choice.

You gave up on rational discourse the moment you decided you knew best for women.

Do you also believe female MMA fighters should be allowed to fight with men?

You seem like a toxic, mean-spirited person, so I'll refrain from engaging further. Good day to you.

If both a man and a woman want to fight one another, who are you to say they can't? They'd know better than you if it's alright.

And the only toxic behavior I see here is yours. Enjoy your day!
