#1 I hope she has her team burqa fitted properly.

#2 What the coach should do is sue to have men on the women's teams. Or do what alot of US colleges did. Kill your sports programs altogether.

Some days I really have to wonder:

"Where have all the humans gone?"

#3 I think its extremely sexist to have a token woman on the team. I think they should go all the way and require that half the team be female. And that assumption that women would only play "if they are already up a couple of goals and coasting" is insulting. Half the players on the field should be women also.

As an added benefit, we can find out if soccer can be even more boring than it already is.

#4 He should pick an all female team. It would get LOADS of publicity and come last by a long way. Be a great way to destroy this stupid equal outcome nonsense that's endangering equal opportunity.

I'm sorry but the Women's FA cup was on telly and I decided after watching it that Women and good football are (at the moment) an oxymoron.

#6 "Where have all the humans gone?"
