I imagine these fundamentalist wackos reminisce for the days they could just burn this girl of witchcraft and be done with it.

You have to understand risk vs. reward.

If she beat them, they'd all have to kill themselves.

The Society of Pius X! To these dudes, the Pope ain't Catholic! (No, really, see Sedevacantism. Not sure of the SPX is actually Sedevacantist, but they're clearly in the same general faction.)

What a bunch of pansy ass'ed quitters.

Exactly. They were so threatened by the prospect of a whisker biscuit kicking their ass they didn't even try!!

They sound more like Salafi Muslims.

Good for them. I'm sure a girls softball team would object to playing against a team that had a boy on it.

Its sad you don't realize the irony of your thread title, seeing as you are the one oppressing them for trying to live the lifestyle they believe they are called to live.

No surprise, our good little hypocrite friend, Frizzy is on the wrong side of freedom yet again.

Show me one instance that has ever happened. I'll be here waiting

it's not a lifestyle if they are deliberately trying to ruin fun for one child who has commited the high crime of having different chromosones.. and besides, she's already sat out on other games... something like this would not have been allow to happen in any other league.. even local ones

No surprise, our good dumbass friend , renard is on the side of a religion telling girls what they're allowed to do yet again

How? I don't want to legislate a law prohibiting their forfeit or forcing them to play. I didn't even suggest a rule/reg/law in any form or fashion. I think it's great they quit, rock on quitters!!!

I just called them pussies for not even ATTEMPTING to play because they were so fucking terrified of a vagina. Am I wrong?

If any of them had a pair (including the coach) or a spine for that matter to stand up for their beliefs they would have made every attempt to dirt stomp that bitch and send her packing back to the soft ball league like good little christians.

I would personally suggest everyone act like adults and set an example for the kids and just play ball for the fun of it. But there's always some religious/political fuckwad ready to turn a kids game into a statement now isn't there?

Of course, the Society of Pius X is just a group of fringe-Catholics the Church barely tolerates. It's nuttin'.

But, now, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is investigating the Girl Scouts.

Bishops Group to Investigate Girl Scouts

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: May 11, 2012

The Girl Scouts are facing an official inquiry by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. At issue are concerns about program materials that some Catholics find offensive, and assertions that the Scouts associate with groups espousing stances in conflict with church teaching. The Scouts, who have parish-sponsored troops, deny many of the claims and defend their alliances. The inquiry will be conducted by the bishops’ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth. It will look into the Scouts’ “possible problematic relationships” and “problematic” program materials, according to a letter from the committee chairman, Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne, Ind., to fellow bishops. Critics contend that Scouts’ materials should not contain links to groups like Doctors Without Borders, the Sierra Club and Oxfam because they support family planning or emergency contraception.

Bishops vs. Girl Scouts?

Been nice knowin' Yer Excellencies. Make an Act of Contrition fast.

Ave Maria? A fundamentalist could never find a match for the candle. Pavarotti comes prepared.

Maybe the Girl Scouts can investigate the Bishops in return.

Baseball religion gets weirder every day. After reading the OP's link, I doubt anyone of those idiots opposed to playing against a girl would make it to second base with her.
