A 17-year-old girl who played football and aspired to enlist with the Marines was killed by a suspected drunken driver, Florida authorities said Tuesday.
Wasn’t relevant in this situation. That she was killed is the tragic part. That society is dumb enough to put women in front line military roles is yet another thing. As for women playing football, let them. I can tell you I’d be a little concerned about my daughter getting rushed by a 190 lbs linebacker while she attempted a field goal.
Guards and tackles miss their assignments all the time. That’s all it would take. Might as well put her in pads and hit her with your car at 10 mph.
The headline implies that she was transgender.
And the rest of your post holds.
Even if she was, why would her death be more tragic than a straight girlie girl who wanted to be the next Miss America?
