People will always have a reason as to why women should not be allowed to play. Recent attention was brought to Kacy Stuart, an Atlanta-area 14-year old who made it onto a local school's football team for place-kicking duties. And that's right, she's a girl! Female kickers are not new, but there is a twist in Kacy's story.
She was sidelined for most of the season by an athletic league official because she's a girl. The first team she played cited verses from Romans to express their disagreement with her participation. Her team won, 38–7, with her doing all the kickoffs and three extra points.
Can you believe it? People were actually quoting scripture from the Bible during the game as a means to assert their animosity towards the situation!
We just elected our first African-American President, proving that times they are a changin', and yet a female playing football is still frowned upon!
Boys will argue that if a woman can play football, then can they try out for the girl's soccer team? Here is my response, no you can't, because boy's soccer teams already exist!
There are no all-female leagues in high school or college, they don't have a choice. Seriously, who cares where the talent comes from! I say, If you got it, flaunt it! Boys, some of those girls are helping to win the game for you!
Here at B/R, the talented women writers prove that the species is evolving. We know what we are talking about and got the chops to prove it.
