Ball Hogs I’m sure you’ve heard of boys hogging the ball and not passing it to the girls because they are selfish. They also think that boys are better than girls which is so not true! I am in a touch team with only one other girl and 7 boys! These boys might be nice but boy are they sexist! They think they are just so good it gets really annoying. I’m sure this has happened to you before. It very rarely happens to boys. Basically the only way for the girls to get the ball is if an another girl passes it to her which is pretty sad. I mean the boys have 2 choices either get touched or pass it to the girls if there is no boys around and of course they choose to get touched which might turn the ball over to the other team. Of course it happens in other sports like rugby, soccer, basketball occasionally netball and more but I just can’t list all of them. So I think boys should pass it to the girls because the statement ‘boys are better than girls’ is not true at all!
