"Male" Sports

Football...Hockey....Wrestling....When most people think of these sports, they think of a bunch of males beating other males to achieve something. When we add a female to this picture, it immediately becomes weakened. We think of the girl as the exhibition round, the match to just get experience and not really fight for points. In my high school we had a couple of girl wrestlers but they were always over shadowed by the guys. At one of my brother's wrestling tournaments a couples weeks ago, there was a girl wrestler. When I saw her, I was excited to see what she was going to do. When she began, I stopped watching all other matches and concentrated on hers. She was going up against a MALE athlete. A girl versus a guy, a female versus a male, it works however you want to word it. They key fact is that she was in control throughout the whole match and even had strangers cheering her on. Below is a clip of the last seconds of her match where she pinned the guy and got shown off as the winner.

 

This shows that despite the common thoughts about male sports, or even sports in general, the females can and will prevail.
