[ Girl Power ] The Fifty Yard Line

There are no glass ceilings    
on men's sports teams
---only women whose dreams  
shatter from brittling beliefs  
that they can't compete  
   
Those who make forward progress  
in the collegiate football arena  
play like a girl with  
as well as against the boys  
   
while you continue making noise  
complaining that transgendered  
males are sidelining females  
from achieving their goals  
   
If only you and them played  
for love of the game?  
   
Not fortune    
   
or fame  
 
having a name  
in the record books  
   
Shame on you  
   
for demanding an entire gender  
be penalized, setting them back  
on the field so far from
the Fifty Yard Line  
that future Sarah Fullers of the world  
bench themselves from ever getting  
black n blues'd and grass stained  
tackling their brothers in backyards  
   
Thanks a lot for that kick in the balls
