text: There are a lot of "slow" boys should they be disqualified from participating in team sports because they are?   In Homer we have a young lady who is famous for making and being on the Olympic rowing team. I was proud of her as she was in high school the same time as my daughter. In high school sports no one could beat her, male or female. Do we need to be so rigid and stereotype anyone including those children in this state who play team sports? TEAM means working together with all the players strengths and weakness's leading to a victory or being able to handle defeat graciously. It is not about all the players being of equal skills and abilities.  Playing on a team is about building skills for their future that our children need for getting along and working with all kinds of people.
