Kick Like a Girl

I found the film "Kick Like a Girl" extremely interesting, and even more entertaining to watch. It was nice to see such ambition coming from a set of girls, as young as they were. These girls were so passionate about playing their sport, they did not seem to care what anyone else thought, or had to say. That alone was my favorite part. The only reason these girls even thought to transfer to the boys division, is because this sport that they were so in love with was beginning to seem dull after challenging and beating not only the other girls in their division, but the older girls in the next division as well. They wanted to maintain their passion for the sport, and keep it more interesting, by making it more challenging. At such a young age, they had to endure harsh criticism and rough stares from the opposing teams parents and coaches, just for the fact that they were females challenging the male team. It never ceases to amaze me what people in todays society will still do, say or act towards others based on a persons race, age, gender or background.
