Our Lady of Perpetual Misogyny UPDATED
One of our customers, Bunny, sent me this and I have her permission to share it with you.
Hard to believe but….
The picture is of two of my granddaughters who are the only two girls on their high school boys varsity soccer team, Foothills Academy, Scottsdale, AZ. That they were chosen for the team was an honor.
Tonight their school played Our Lady of Sorrows, Phoenix, AZ, so appropriate because their all boy soccer team would not even come on the field if the girls were to play. They would rather forfeit.
The girl’s coach left it up to the team and the girls were part of the decision. They didn’t want the rest of the boys to not be able to play too and they handled it really well. Coaches and players and parents were very supportive. Ready to forfeit, but decided to kick their butts instead. 3-1 halftime now.
Girlpower!
UPDATED by Bunny on 9/22 —
Faith Christian notified Foothills Academy today they would forfeit their game if girls played.
Foothills Academy coach accepted their forfeit. Each player on his team voted. Every player voted to accept the forfeit. Especially noted are the players who are being looked at for college soccer scholarships and whose stats will be affected by each game not played. “I don’t give a damn about my stats, the girls are my team mates.”
The league will be updating their rosters with schools willing to play girls.
There ya go!
