Madison Baxter banned from football team as players 'will lust after her'

[damnedifIknow]

A 12-YEAR-OLD girl was told she couldn't try out for her seventh-grade American football team because her male teammates were "beginning to have impure thoughts" about her.

Madison Baxter, who attends a private Christian school outside Atlanta, had played football with the sixth-grade team but was told she wasn't welcome at try-outs this year.

She has played the sport since the second grade and comes from a sporting family, with a father and grandfather both football enthusiasts.

But Strong Rock Christian Academy school administrator Patrick Stuart told Madison's mother she couldn't play anymore as the other players in the team would begin lusting after her.

Her mother Cassy Blythe told Atlanta's WXIA-TV: "In the meeting with the CEO of the school, I was told that the reasons behind it were one, that the boys were going to start lusting after her and have impure thoughts about her and that the locker room talk was not appropriate for a female to hear even though she had a separate locker room from the boys."

1. Boys that age are pretty much

lusting after everything that moves so what's the point of having HER sit out? This is bullshit. But then again, that's what they get for sending her to a Christian school where sexual inequality is part of the curriculum (Bible).

4. Yeah I guess the message this school is sending

is stay in the kitchen. Wow.

8. I suspect the coaches/teachers are the ones lusting after the poor

teenager. Sickening!

2. The only ones having lustful thoughts about a 12-year-old girl

are the perverted "men" who kicked her off the team just for being a girl. Pedophiles in charge are accusing 12-year-old boys of their own sexual proclivities, especially since it's a "Christian" (read: fundies who make a mockery of Christ's teachings) school.

That's my opinion.

3. "Private Christian School". That explains everything. nt

5. They're Probably Afraid of Her

A sixth-grade girl that can play football with the boys? They're probably afraid that she'll hurt their feelings by kicking their asses!

You go, girl! Just like Merida in "Brave" and Arya Stark in "Game of Thrones", beat the boys at their own game!

6. Kick

7. Tell me again the difference between the Taliban and Christian fundamentalists?

That is besides the name of the god they worship.

9. She should be a cheeleader...in a short short miniskirt... so that the boys lust

is directed at an appropriate target.

Allowing the boys to lust after a person in a football uniform is clearly several steps down the slippery slope of sexual confusion that created Sandusky and ruined Penn State.
