Girls, football and the Bible
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Bible has been used to justify lots of things. Slavery and female servitude come to mind.
Now it seems the good book was used in an attempt to sideline Kacy Stuart, a female kicker for the New Creation Center Crusaders in Spalding County.
Before a recent game, the East Atlanta Mustangs read a Bible verse to express its beliefs about female football players. In a pre-game statement, the team used verses from the book of Romans. The game went on. The Crusaders crushed the Mustangs 39-8. Stuart did all the kicking and extra-point attempts.
Now the Crusaders are supposed to face a Bartow team on Saturday, but the game has been canceled. Stuart’s mother thinks it’s because of her daughter’s gender.
What do you think about a team using the Bible against a female kicker?
Should females be allowed to suit up for the gridiron?
