Girl: School cites Bible for kicking her off football team

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.

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.

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.

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.
