http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/girl-school-cites-bible-kicking-her-football-team/nYQ6x/"It was her dream to get a scholarship one day, be one of the first female football players in college. She really had big dreams," said Cassy Blythe, Maddy's mom.
But this week, the school said she was off the team.
...
Maddy and her mom told Dore the CEO of the school said boys have lustful thoughts and bad language and cited the Bible.
"That men and women are created equal but different, and he said that he prayed about it and it was the wrong thing to do," Maddy said.

...my bad; most impressive ovaries.... 5 sacks...nuff said.
If the courage of males is in the testes; then it stands to reason the courage of females is in their ovaries. and the mean ones clank when you walk.

"lustful thoughts and bad language" then why is the girl the one getting kicked off the team?

that invoke Jesus to justify their hatred. These same people probably whine about the Taliban. They're the same thing. They're both full of smug, hateful people holding an err of entitlement and superiority unmatched these days.

(10,039 posts)4. Football is kind of a sad sport to me.
I threw the ball, "like a guy," but there couldn't be any point past that. It's like a cruel and unusual punishment to give little girls footballs and take them away to say that you have to be a cheerleader instead.
