No Girls Allowed in High School Football League

Alright Nancy, take off the pads and turn in your jersey. Why? There are no girls allowed in football. Lady kicker Kacy Stuart got booted from her private school team after Georgia authorities ruled females aren't allowed to play high school football in the state's private-school association, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

It sounds as if Stuart will move in with her dad elsewhere in the state in order to attend a public school and play football. That girls are allowed in public-school competition makes the private-school official who barred Stuart look even more ridiculous, which is pretty difficult.

Really, this fellow -- Georgia Football League chairman Hank St. Denis -- is simply an idiot. In this day, how can he not expect a tremendous reaction to his poor logic? The media loves stories like this, and St. Denis is going to be roasted alive if he doesn't immediately change course. And come on, she's a kicker. She'd probably receive less hazing as a female high school kicker than the usual versions would (in my HS career, the South American soccer ace and the diminituive son of an assistant coach).
