A girl on the football team
The piece that I decided to review was a girl on the football team by "y press" I found this piece to be very interesting because I didn't really think that it would be particularly safe for a girl to be playing football being that it is very dangerous and sometimes girls can't take those kinds of hits I know this from experience but I really love how much support the shantel gets from her team mates they try to protect her because guys on the other team go after her because she is the only girl. I think that girls in the NFL is somewhat of a stretch but it might be possible in years to come. overall I really like the piece very it was very well done
