Girl gets kicked off football team
A Georgia middle school girl was kicked off her school’s football team because her presence might trigger “lustful thoughts” in her teammates. Maddy Blythe, 12, said she was told she could not return to the Strong Rock Christian School’s football team despite her strong play because the Bible discourages such gender mixing. Said Maddy, “It’s like taking my dream and throwing it in the trash.”
