Today, I started watching Last Chance U on Netflix. It's a documentary series about a community college football team in Mississippi. I’m only on the second episode, but so far it is really good! I recommend it if you are into sport documentaries, but if you aren’t a fan of foul language then you should probably sit this one out. I mean it is about a bunch of football playing guys so get can get pretty rowdy.

While I was watching it I was just taken back how each person on the team has such a different body type. I know leave it to a girl to watch a show about football and get some body positive message out of it. Anyways it got me thinking, women should view ourselves like one big football team. The guys on the team do not put others down based on their body. They know that not each man can be super slim and fit, they need guys with meat on their bones to play defense. If there was a team full of quarterbacks, although they would look pleasing to the eyes, they would lose every game. A football team needs people of different shapes and sizes to be able to play the game.

If the women population could take on this mindset, I think life would be a lot better. There would be no more body shaming, because we would see that each body type holds value for our team to win. If we as women could realize that we are all on the same team, fighting for the same cause, we would seek to build each other up, rather than tear each other down. Much like on a football team, each and every size and shape of a women helps them accomplish the task God put them on this earth to fulfill.

So women, let's learn a little something from our brothers on the football team. Let us realize how special each and every one of us are. We need each other to succeed. Let’s build each other up in our differences, rather than be afraid to see someone else succeed. Ladies, let’s become like a football team!
