Hi all,
Great article in the telegraph about a young female rugby player on her school team. All prepubescent kids play together as they are physically the same and she happens to be the best. However, the poisonous vitriol in the comments is depressing. It got so bad her dad was compelled to come on and post, trying to point out how excited his daughter was about seeing the article coming out and how she only did it because she loved her game.
Here's a young girl who loves her sport and is damn good at it, being accused of being a pawn of the feminist agenda and that the boys are effete for playing with her. Additionally, they are slagging off women playing sport more widely, which Is ironic when the article points to the embarrassment and thus unwillingness of teen girls to play sport.
If you have time to post a supportive comment to this young sports player, the link is:

Many thanks.
