Women in Sports- Rhode Island High School Soccer Fight

I was very surprised to see the television news clip of the Rhode Island high school soccer fight. I have played soccer all my life; beginning at AYSO to club to Olympic development, and even on the high school level. During the soccer matches, people become passionate about winning and frustrated when their team is consistently stopped, yet never have I seen it progress to a full team versus team fight.
Second, I was even more surprised that it was women who were fighting. Both of my younger sisters play soccer on a very competitive level, yet never would I have imagined that young women players such as the ones in the video would possess the aggressive impulses to turn a mere high school soccer match into a fight that most likely got them suspended or in deeper trouble. But as the video commented, most men view women in sports as fragile and innocent; even the news commentator said that it was "mostly hair pulling" when really it was a full-on serious brawl. This example shows that the public views the aggressive impulses of women incorrectly; in actuality they can be as aggressive as men and in sports they can act as passionately as men.
Overall I am both disgusted and surprised by the video. It has opened my eyes to realize that women, just like men, can be aggressive on the soccer pitch or even in any sport. Women, like men, become passionate and put all their energy into the matches, unfortunately sometimes it can end in violence just as this video has shown.
