I think syc is right and I agree with kisrael. The but the problem I have is why aren't girls playing receiver or QB? That is the classic question. Why do [my favorite minority group] play in [sport] but not in [sport in question]? The answer is where is the money and what sports do teenage girls play. I don't remeber the last time I saw a girls highschool football team.
For that matter why do we segregate sports into male/female? I would attribute it to the fact that humans like to be in homogenous groups and reject the one that is different. What we have to change (again) is our idea of what is different and what is common. The lowest common denominator of the equation should be althletes or humans not gender.
However to paraphrase from the Matrix: "here have a cookie. Once you walk out that cellar door, you'll remember that you don't care about all that sports crap anyway."
