“Race officials denied the request”
why? This is a simple thing to accommodate.
If she wanted to wear a hijab they would have allowed it

It’s not like there are a thousand runners in the race and all the other numbers were taken.

This courageous young women should get a full scholarship to a Christian college. She is running the right race.
Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. HEBREWS 12:1

I say she has a right to refuse that if she sees fit. As a Christian I wouldn’t want it — not because I would fear anything that it could do to me personally (it can’t), but because I wouldn’t want to give the devil a chance to use me to flaunt the number. Suppose I win the race? I probably wouldn’t mind a 13, but would draw a line here.

Run like the devil... oh groan.
Actually the devil gets scooting like a squirrel on meth when God gets on his tail. He runs but cannot hide.

Government school is child abuse, including their athletic programs.

I don’t blame her
my insurance co sent me a bill for that amount once and I insisted I pay a dollar more and I told them why

A Kentucky High School Athletic Association spokesperson said that race officials would have granted Thackers request had they been made aware it was for religious reasons. LOL! Ya, right. Why did they think she didn't want the number in the first place!

I do the same at convenience stores. If it totals $6.66 i add another item. Its happened a few times.
To: silverleaf
Maybe they had already published material that showed who had what number.
I think the fact it was a race meant something far more symbolically significant than registering at a hotel and getting room number 666, or boarding an airplane whose flight number was 666.
Well she took one for the LORD there I say. She got that number omitted from the race.

Mr. Mercat was assigned this number for his small sail boat registration. He didn’t think it was such a big deal. I told him I would never again sail in that boat so he asked for a different number and got it.

Why didn’t she just turn it upside down and make it an ad for Herman Caines 999 plan.. the great man whose Presidential bid was destroyed by the Treason party and the backstabbing RINOs?

Actually,there’s a social security procedure to give back a dollar to the Treasury of your check,if your monthly check amount is 666.00.

Heh heh... to each their own comfort zone. A bill like that could be paid with two $3.33 checks.
