According to the Canadian Broadcasting Company, a recent court ruling has forced school sports officials to admit girls to previously boys-only teams. (This being Canada, it's hockey that's at stake.) Now boys (typically those not skilled enough to make varsity-level boy's teams) applying for positions on girl's teams.
This, of course, has worrisome consequences, according to Morris Glimcher, executive director of the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association: "If we get four guys or five guys going out for the [girls'] basketball team, there's four or five females that won't make the team — and I dare say a bunch of other ones aren't going to compete — and we could end up with some female teams being made up of mostly men."
Bummer. Now we won't get to see calendar photos like hers...
