Quote:Well, I've done some research on this now, and I'm not sure I do need to be corrected. The number of girls playing football in the US was about the same as the number of boys in 1998. But the number of girls playing had doubled in the previous 5 years. If that trend continued, there probably are more women than men playing football in the US today.Could it be most girls don't play contact sports like football and ice hockey because their parents think it is a stupid idea? So, soccer is a suitable substitute. It has also turned into something, at the youth league level, that turns my stomach.
Interesting that the trend is ahead of where I would have guessed, thanks for the info.
