Story: Girl kicker booted off school football team
She was immediately forced by the school to enroll in Home-Ec courses instead. The league directors also plan on keeping a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't vote when she turns eighteen. The boys on the team, however, didn't seem to have a problem sharing the locker room with her.

We just broke the news that a women will be on the VP ticket for presidency. But they still can't play football in Georgia?
Women can serve in the military in Iraq but let's not let them kick the "good 'ol boy's football". Next thing ya'all will know is they'l un for vice prez or somethun!
There have actually been quite a few successful girls who played football in high school. Now, when they tried to in college the story is a little different.
Here is one reason it might not be a good idea:

Recent news from Florida. A HS player died after getting tackled during a game.
Anonymous 4:37pm, That news article is about a male high school student...not a female.
There have been dozens of girls playing on boys HS football teams. Why is a Christian HS and home school athletic league being so stubbornly unfair? Is this one of those evolution vs creationism things?
I say we take away their right to vote in November. Reason: they can’t vote simply because they're girls.
As a high schooler who is under 'legal' age...she's kind of cute. I live in Illinois, she could play on my HS team.
Since no one has asked, then no one knows the whole story. This team was told 3 years ago that the GFL would be an all male tackle football league. They didn't have to join it. There are plenty of other leagues to join. They chose us. We did not chose them. They don't have to remove the girl, they just have to join a league that is a co-ed league. They also did not want more than one girl on the team. Why not 10 or so??

Why can't girls play football? some are just as good as the guys on the team. I think this is because guys are just afraid to be tackled by a girl!
My daughter has always dreamed of playing football. Since our middle school does not have a team she will have to wait till next year when she is end high school. Am I nervous? yes! But it is her dream and I will not stand in her way! Why is this school standing in the way of this girls dream. Only when you dream can you achieve! Besides where in the Bible does it say girls can not play football?
If women got the right to vote why can't they play football? men and women are totally equal. I'm a girl and I play football. What are they gonna do about, put me in detention. That won't stop me!
