Can't we just play ball

I love to watch girls get feisty when they are playing sports. Its pretty entertaining to watch girls puff up their chests and act like they are really going to do something about a little trash talk.

Last night I was at a WAC soccer game and it was a pretty physical game. Girls were being kicked in random places, some were slide tackling when the ball was yards from the slide and a couple yellow cards were even given out.

My favorite part of the evening however, was when two players were face to face having a screaming match. Now it might be scary to see two guys face to face having words, but these two girls just made the fans laugh.

It was the highest pitched trash talk I have ever heard. With arms flailing through the air, (not touching each other) but more doing the finger shake, and heads bobbing so much the duo looked like chickens.

A yellow card came out of it, but to be honest I'm pretty sure what started it was an elbow. So after wicked slide tackles, kicks in the back, and even head butts to opposing players, an elbow gets a yellow card.

Can't we just play ball?
