Subject: RE: BS: No Olympics Football
One of my former coworkers is on an all-girl rugby team; she's not in the office now since she recently returned to active duty in the Marines. More power to her, I say ~ even though we may not see eye-to-eye on politics and international relations. And, while she may be a bit on the "big-boned" side, she is certainly attractive and feminine enough in her own postmodern fashion.

I know a few young women in our local neo-roller-derby contingent; their sport may be even rougher-and-tougher than rugby, and I have no problem with any of them, either.

I've yet to hear of any mammary injuries in connectiton with such athletic persuits. Like WAV, I occasionally wonder just why that's not a more serious concern, but I figure that, as someone lacking those anatomical features myself, I can't really imagine what's involved in maintaining their integrity while participating in contact sports. However, I have been able to observe that those who do have to deal with such complications manage to do so easily enough.
