My opinion is thus, take it as you will:
1 - she CHOSE to play a sport. Her religion doesn't force her to participate, ergo you submit yourself to the rules and regulations of the sport you're participating in. If you join a sport fishing club that requires the trading of naked pictures of wives and you object... leave!
2 - her religion does not require that she wear the covering as a devout member, forsaking her religion and causing much embarrassment to one's self and family if she doesn't.
When we played hockey, NO jewelry was allowed to be seen on your face/neck. PERIOD. Necklaces, earrings, eyebrow rings (early adopters is all I'm saying)... it all had to go. We accepted that as the rule, laid down by Hockey Canada and we played every game under those rules. Sure, we didn't contemplate each and every rule before a game... but at the end of the day, the rules mattered (obviously).
I really hope that the girl wasn't put up to this by her parents. I also hope that this doesn't spark the "you're not sympathizing, therefore you're a racist" sentiment anywhere. If the religion you follow doesn't have any wearable items requirements and you're able to play the sport just fine, that doesn't make you a racist for wanting the other players to have to follow the same rules.
