Are Girls Sports More Innocent, Communal?
Jaime Nared, "The Next Candace Parker," Will Play With The Boys Again

"Ladies" more innocent? I don't f*n think so.

Its not innocent but I believe it holds truer to the technical game. And specifically in high school, for most girls sports will not be looked towards careers, like boys will do. While it can get us into a better college or a nifty scholarship, most of us, even the best team players, weren't looking to join the big leagues cause it wasnt a real option.

Now women's lacrosse vs. men's lacrosse? Yeah - I've seen fundamental differences there. Also seen some differences between men's and women's rugby (and I don't necessarily mean less rough). But I would not put basketball on that list.
Exhibit A: Candace Parker.

Also, I played basketball until I was in eighth grade, I was about 5'8 in 6th grade and ended up at 5'11. It was the only time when I was proud of my height and could use it to my advantage. I was pretty ruthless on the court, and that usually translated to a win plus self-esteem. woo.
