Would you or do you know any women who would have played high school contact sports (like American football) if it were an option? (Please read first)

I was talking to my father (who is very conservative and has outdated views on many issues) about this. I said I think if there were girls teams girls would play the sport. he said girls shouldn’t and don’t want to play football, even if they had a specifically female team. I said if girls football teams were created back when boys teams were, girls would be playing today. Like if they had the widespread option, girls would play. I’m a high school student and i know plenty of female athletes who would be playing if it were an option. Hell, I know girls who played before high school but weren’t accepted and quit with nowhere else to go but flag football. There’s a girl on the high school team actually. But he thinks despite everyone I named, girls as a whole aren’t strong, resilient, or athletic enough to play football (or any other contact sport) even against other females. To him, football and contact sports are for warriors, and women aren’t that, men are. And shouldn’t be involved in contact sports. But somehow he’s fine with second graders playing town organized tackle football. Even though they are far less of “warriors” than high school girls. So I thought I’d ask you all if you would play a high school contact sport such as football, or If you knew a woman who would.
