Would you play in a coed game of tackle football?

    I wouldn't. a) I don't want to get hurt! b) I don't think it's fair to the guys: most guys don't want to hurt a girl, so they'll either go easy on her or they'll be "bullies." Also, I'm not comfortable with a lot of contact with any man other than my husband. But I know not everyone would share those feelings with me.

    Oh my gosh! I was just talking about how fun it would be to play tackle football and that I doubt there are any tackle football female teams!

    I would. I'm sure that if I got tackled though... I'd probably wimp out and quit!

    Hundred pound girls going for my knees... some of the female lifters at my gym who can lift more than a lot of guys going for my throat... I'd play, but I want to do the tackling, not be tackled!

    I thought this was the same poster as soon as I saw the avi.

    Nope. I have no desire to play football of any kind. The only team sport I enjoy is softball.

    Sure. Pickup without pads means you're not crushing people out like you're back in high school. It's mostly dragging people down.

    Umm...no, that's a little more contact than I would be comfortable with in a coed game. Flag football might be okay though.

    I couldn't do that. I dont care how big the girl is or how tough she thinks she is I couldn't house a girl on the field. Unless she's a nickelback fan. Then it's game on

    Sure but I don't think I could bring myself to tackle girls the same way I'd tackle guys. Maybe just ankle tackles or picking them up and setting them on the ground :/

    Probably not or if so, it would not be in a real competitive way.

    My thoughts exactly. Guess she hasn’t been properly groped lately. ;-)

    *Farmer walks opponent to a safety* OP I don't think one guy will say they are going to play tackle football 100% hitting with women as oppose to 105% of hitting a guy you hate on the field.

    Used to do it all the time. I wasn't strong enough for a tackle, but I can throw half decent and I'm quick.

    I think some people forget the game isn't all about jumping on one another. The tactician in me loves the strategy of it.

    Played with mostly guys. Never had an issue with being treated like a flower or being roughed up unless I was playing with my brother and his friends; he was always throwing out threats for touching me. Lol

    I probably wouldn't because, regardless of how much I can deadlift, I don't have the body weight to bring down a full-grown man. Unless all the men were skinny and didn't weigh much, that would be different.
