Christian school won’t let 12-year-old girl play football, citing lustful thoughts and the Bible

And the fight goes on, the battle continues. Those who know continue to fight the battle for equality of opportunity, be it race, creed, or gender... It is sad that the opponents of equality always insert "God told me so" into the argument. 

The Bible reading was a cop out. He should have just said the reason is

I would fear for the health of the girl. I believe male and female should

compete in the same sports if the physical difference isn't too much for

the girl. My opinion is football is too physical.

Yep, dangerous because a 12 year old girl can usually snap a 12 year old boy like a twig.

AS you can tell Maddy isn't in very good shape to play football.

All she can do is burn fat.

Looks like to me she can whip their butts. A girl in full padding, who the spectators can't tell is a girl unless they read the number, playing as well or better than the guys. No Bible needed here, just the shame that the girl plays better.

I guess the school doesn't mind all those guys patting each others butts.

It would take a considerable amount of "full padding" to conceal certain of the very obvious, exceptionally well-developed attributes of this 12-year old girl/woman person!

Maybe she could also go out for the school's wrestling team as some girls have elsewhere.  Some of the boys at her school would have an excuse to grope where they had not dared to grope before.

This denial of obvious differences between persons of opposite human gender is getting absurd!

As to Mama's defeated hopes that her widdle gull could nail down a college football scholarship--fahgettaboutit.  The kid's  only chance at that would be as a place kicker and more power to her if she can master that skill.  But as a tackle, no way Jose'!  That ain't even remotely probable. The family needs to just get over it.

LOL! Oh yes, leave all that groping and fondling to the boys on other boys. Gee, ever stop to think that they know they wouldn't be free to grope her? Ever think she might just slap the helmet off their heads IF they did? Or are you of the mind that a girl is "fair game" to be groped and has to stand and take it? And too, ever think they might be good kids and wouldn't grope her because it's not a nice thing to do? Sheesh. Who are you to judge what the girl's chances are at a football scholarship? Did you have daughters? Did you tell them they couldn't do anything in life except be a subservient wife and a mother?  

Her parents sent her to a Christian school. What did they expect?

1 Timothy 2:11-12

Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

Does that school's CEO not know that boys have lustful thoughts just looking at a girl?

She was already on the team. What happened to make him all of a sudden get worried about lust? This is the mentality of some people that are teaching children, and want this kind of thinking in public schools. What's next on his list, a new "dress code" for girls? They could make them wear dark glasses so their eyes don't show.

let her play

She should play.

Then why aren't women playing pro football?

===================

Probably for all kinds of different reasons. My first guess is that the biggest reason is lack of interest in playing. It's certainly not because there are no women who are physically capable. Second guess, women have been "shut out" of playing, just like they're trying to do to this girl. Another guess, afraid of being labeled/called "mannish" or trying to act like a man. Again, a lot of reasons.

There are women in professional football it's called the lingerie league.

Jobe, have you ever seen this woman?

I met her at at a basketball game.  She was standing next to me at a urinal. 

I met her at at a basketball game.  She was standing next to me at a urinal. 

==================

I'd almost believe that, but they swear she's a she. Ever heard her speak?

" they swear she's a she" [bestun sez]

who is "they" bestundire?

It's a private school.  If she's that good, she can go to a public school and play there--and the parents can save a lot of money from that tuition fee.

A private school that allowed her to "go out" for the team, join, dress out and play, and then decided she was just too much of a temptation to the innocent young lads.

A Christian school. I don't understand why her parents would think she would be treated fairly and equally as the boys anyway.

Yes, I have daughters. They are grown now but when in school, both of them were talented athletes.  And neither  wanted to play football or rassle.  They chose from the numerous other available sports programs.  I never told them what they could or could not do with their lives.  Each made her own decision and both are skilled professionals and very independent.  As to my "judging" whether this young lady is likely to nail down a college football scholarship--well, Worstthinking, I mostly based that on my understanding of just how many women are currently on college football teams, a pretty reasonable criterion, wouldn't you think (assuming you would in fact THINK about it before grinding out more of your iabrasivel drivel)?

No beter-n-nun I wouldn't say your conclusion is right. As I posted before you posted your drivel, there are many reasons women aren't on the teams. One more reason is your mindset, some men and even women think such sports is not a "woman's place", and they've been excluded, just as they're doing to this girl. Your daughters were talented atheletes? Oh, you mean just doing "girly sports"?

quarterback maybe?; would be suited for a girl? they are smarter you know. that would give that team a edge.

___

No--I mean basketball and track and field/cross country.  I don't know of any "girly sports".  You will have to explain what you mean by that. Almost all the high school sports played in this area have both boys and girls teams.  By the way, ever heard of Title IX?

______

Was she using the urinal or just standing there checking you out?

==================

She says she's a lesbian.

______

Chuck made a dumb remark so I made one too.

If she's a Lesbian I say let her play. She's in the right frame of mind.

================

Google her. Listen to an interview.
