Message: [QUOTE="Beemer, post: 4393842, member: 5218"] I'm thinking more in terms of "less physical" than "girlie"??? IMO there is a lot more physical contact in the women's basketball game today than in other women's sports. Contact never bothered me or my sister, we played tackle football with the boys until we went to high school but I would say most girls don't like a lot of contact and of course you don't get much of it in sports like volleyball or track. Even field hockey & lacrosse are low contact compared to basketball IMO, you just don't see the constant collisions & contact that are routine underneath & around the basket during a game, well at least I haven't. And yes for a lot of girls "looking cute" is also very important to them. My niece is a scholarship athlete but she's definitely a girlie girl as well as are many of her teammates. They're willing to sweat but not all the time lol [/QUOTE]
