women excelling in sports
Mo’Ne Davis, a 13 year old, made the game winning save in a regional semifinals game. She also impressively threw a three-hit complete-game shutout in the Mid-Atlantic final. Her list of athletic achievements even includes the role of pitcher for the Taney Dragons, a little league baseball team from Philadelphia for which she pitched during the 68th Little League World Series game.
Krissy Wendell, the first girl to start at catcher for a Little League World Series team, became the captain for the U.S. national hockey team and won two Olympic medals.
Brittney Griner, who led her Baylor University through an undefeated season of 40 wins, was considered as a draft pick for the Dallas Mavericks by owner Mark Cuban.
Chelsea Baker, the first female to make the varsity baseball team in Hillsborough County, went on to throw batting practice to the Tampa Bay Rays. If women can prove that they can keep up with the athletic abilities of men, why should they be discriminated against solely due to gender and be denied the opportunity to play on a team with males?
