SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A lawyer for a viral video star contends girls should have the chance to play football on female-only high school teams.

Attorney Loren Washburn says Sam Gordon wants to represent her school on the field, but joining the boys’ team isn’t a safe option.

Washburn argued in a Utah court Tuesday that state athletics officials have not done enough to provide girls with equal opportunities to play the sport.

An attorney representing the state said there may be interest from some girls in playing football but that doesn’t necessarily mean it would be sustainable.
