These reverse discrimination lawsuits are getting tedious, but I still enjoy them:
Maxime Goovaerts is a 100-pound, 5-foot-tall eighth-grader who didn't know field hockey was a girls sport when he signed up. After all, both boys and girls play in his native Belgium.
But in the United States, most school field hockey teams are for girls. In Ann Arbor, the public school district didn't like the idea of a boy playing on a girls team, but after some discussion, Maxime was able to play last year.
This year, the school district said no.
Now, the 13-year-old Ann Arbor boy is suing to continue playing and is venturing into legal waters that could help shape the issue of boys versus girls sports.
