When you think of a skirt, what do you think of? Girls, maybe. You might think skirts are for girls. Well, it’s 2016, and anyone can wear anything. If a boy wants to wear a skirt, he can. In the case of “Sam the Athlete,” Sam wants to continue wearing the team uniform, which is a skirt, even after he learns that the team is a co-ed team where shorts are allowed. Should Sam continue to wear the skirt? I believe he should. He likes wearing the skirt, and it makes him happy. Why it makes him happy is irrelevant. In the story, the dialogue implies that Sam is happy whilst wearing the skirt.
