9-year-old girl beats the boys in tackle football

Spunky 9-year-old Sam Gordon is an avid athlete. Her dad started her off playing soccer, and when her teammates and cousins would play dirty in when they practiced, she would give as good as she got.

 

So her dad hardly blinked an eye when Sam wanted to go play football after her brother joined a local tackle league, Yahoo! Sports reports. One year later, she’s beating the boys at their own game. She’s become to league’s leading scorer, and her coach says that while she can take a tackle with the best of them, she’s also showing the play-following abilities of a college tailback.

 

While you can’t argue that Sam is great at the game, naysayers are starting to wonder how appropriate her inclusion on the roster really is. After all, this speedy grammar school student clocks in at just 60 pounds, and plays against boys who weigh more than twice that.

 

What do YOU think, babes? Should Sam be allowed to play with the boys?

I think if what people are worried about is that the boys weigh more than her, then they shouldn't be worried because her coach says she can take a tackle, and that is where weight comes into play the most, and besides, being lighter means you are faster than the heavier boys. Sam should be allowed to play with the boys.

Yes she should play against the boys.Girl's are as good as boys, so let's show them what were made of.I have all boy cousins on my dads side and we all like to play basketball and there pretty rough (you get use to it after a while).

MOD MOD MOD!!! I want to lose weight and keep it off. I am 13. I weight 109 pounds and I'm 5'1. I eat healthily as possible and only eat sweets in small portions like 3 times a week. This is my schedule:
Sunday- Morning run with mom. 2 Blogilates arms. Medium intensity.
Monday- 10 mins run 5.5. 1 long Blogilates abs . Low intensity.
Tuesday-45 mins run. Speed 6.5-7.5. High intensity.
Wednesday- 15 mins run 6.0. 2 Blogilates legs. Medium intensity.
Thursday- 10 mins run 5.5. 1 long Blogilates(anything). Low intensity.
Friday- 45 mins run. Speed 6.5-7.5. High intensity.
Saturday- Morning run with mom. 2 Blogilates (anything). Medium intensity.
Is this enough to lose weight?
Thanks!

 

Hey torie55, sounds good to me. Just stay motivated and determined. Believe, truly believe you can loose the weight and you will. Hope this helps! Xoxo
