Have you heard of the news regarding the Mills Football team? Well if you haven’t, be prepared because ballet is now the new thing for football players!
JV player Andrew Hampton, a freshman at Mills, had one year on the football team before this outrageous rule. Hampton tells us, “This is a complete outrage. Never in my one year of playing did I think we’d have to do ballet. Firstly, just because we love the game of football doesn’t mean we should do ballet. Honestly, I think at this point they should just scrap the football program because this is going to be bad.”
Bryson Melgar (9), another JV player on the Mills Football team mentioned, “I think forcing us to do ballet is absurd. We are violent football players, not soft ballerinas. I might not even play next year if this is how things turn out. It is honestly sad how bad our football program has turned.”
Mr. Keller, the sports director here at Mills, commented on the new set rule saying, “This rule should be in place to finally teach the tough football players to be flexible and more relaxed. It can help them dodge the other players better and stay on their feet.”
A student at Mills gives his opinion on the new rule for the football program. “I was planning on joining next season but this new rule has me second guessing my decision. With the ballet program, I guess I will be flexible but actually doing it would be a pain.
This new program for the Mills football team is a crazy new rule that has now put the players in a dilemma. Having to train in ballet now has football players questioning their decision to play the sport.
