High School Girls' Football
Posted by Geauxtiga on 6/27/17 at 3:13 pm118
quote:
In an era when parents are debating keeping kids out of football, 14-year-old Sam Gordon and her father are fighting for a way to keep her
and girls like her on the field.
Gordon, as you may remember, is the barrier-busting Utah girl who played tackle football against the boys and went viral with her highlight reel of slash-and-dash touchdown runs. Then she helped start a girls’ football league in her community.
Now, she and some of her fellow players (with the help of their parents) are suing three local school districts to force high schools to offer girls’ football in the Salt Lake Valley. Gordon is among six plaintiffs who filed a Title IX lawsuit on Friday – the date of the 45th anniversary of Title IX.

Can't they just get together in a field and play Smear the Queer?

Lmao, anything to keep their 15 minutes of fame going.
Let his daughter try out with the boys. Peewee is one thing, majority of the kids got no clue what they're doing out there, let her practice w/ high school boys and see how she does, just don't complain when she's riding the bench.

Damn, what a wasted opportunity to effect real, positive change. She found a way to pursue her passion while providing value to her community by going out there and starting up a private league. That could have been a hell of an inspiring story for girls about forging your own path in this world, expectations of society be damned.
But then they had to go 100 steps too far and try to force others to adapt to that personal passion through manipulating the law. This is the kind of shite that 80% of America is tired of.

The Saints should look in to signing #62 to replace Nick Fairley

The idea and the engine for the suit came from Sam’s dad, Brent, who is a lawyer.
I'm shocked.
