The Issue

I’ve played softball all 4 years of high school it is currently my senior year. My sophomore year I trained with our baseball team. My junior year I decided to try out and I made the team. I put myself up to this challenge I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I am the first female in Berkmar Highschool History to play on the baseball team. There is a group of boys and others at my school that do not agree with me being on the baseball team. They would prefer it if I was not on the team. They want to get me kicked off the team. I earned my position on the team just like any other player regardless of my gender. The discrimination I face as a female playing baseball is not right we need to grow and accept things such as these in our generation. Sexist thoughts and ideas still exist in 2021 people need to be educated. Women are equal compared to men. Do you agree? Will you support the fight for equal rights?
