What Do You Think About the Cancellation of Newton South's Powderpuff Game?

School tradition or sexist and dangerous event - that is the debate going on at Newton South High School over the Powderpuff Football game.

On Thursday, Principal Joel Stembridge announced the annual football game between junior girls and senior girls would be cancelled, saying that it is "sexist and unjust," according to a report in the Newton South newspaper, Denebola. Another major factor is a concern over injuries, according to the Boston Globe.

The game takes place the day before Thanksgiving, and teams sometimes practice for weeks. One female Newton South student told the Globe that rather than being sexist, the event is a "celebration of women's sports."

Stembridge wrote in a letter that the game has resulted in girls getting hurt, including three concussions and one serious knee injury last year and broken bones a couple of years ago.

What do you think - should the Powderpuff game continue, or is it too rough? Do you see it as a sexist event or a time-honored tradition? Share in the comment section below.
