Let this be a lesson to all young girls out there: nothing positive can come from having Kathy Ireland as a role model. Kacy Stuart, prospective place kicker for McDonough, Georgia's New Creation Center high school, has been booted from the team for having the audacity to not be born a dude. Kacy had been practicing with New Creation for months before getting the bad news during the pre-season photo session. While the team itself apparently had no issue with her playing, Hank St. Denis, the crusty executive board chairman of the private school, did. Presumptive picture of St. Denis below:
Kacy played on a boys team all through middle school, and the league does not seem to have any rules preventing girls from playing. In any event, her family doesn't plan on taking this lying down. "We'll file for an injunction if we have to," said Kacy's mom. "We'll do whatever it takes to keep her on the team." Worse comes to worst, she can always team up with baseball outcast Jericho Scott in some sort of league for misfit children.
