Why doesn't billionaire busybody Chuck Feeney fund this kid to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court? After all, Feeney funds foreign migrants in Ireland who are threatened with deportation, all the way to the Supreme Court in one case.

What a little creep. Lionel Messi was a little shrimp too. But he never asked to play on the girls' soccer team. He took body building courses and is now the greatest player in the world.

At 13 it is not too late to put the skates on and catch up with the boys that were on the ice at 7 or 8. He probably has the had skills that will translate....

It's called testosterone. Boys have it in spades and girls don't. Let's do a reality gut check. "The king has no clothes". This is like Jose Canseco playing major league baseball. This little guy wants to dominate among a bunch of little girls. Is this reality in our troubled times or what.

Girls shouldn't be allowed on boys teams either. Not because they are not good enough but because they take the place of another child who doesn't get to play. If you do not agree with this then make all teams coed.

Why is it that if a girl is not allowed to play on a boys team it is discrimination, but not when a boy is not allowed on a girls team???? Girls play on boys football teams and hockey teams because they don't have a league of there own.Boy's therefore should be allowed to play on a girls team in a sport that does not cater to boys.

Oh please, it's a girls team not a coed team, find a club field hockey team or start one but don't put a boy on a girls team.
