From The New York Times:
The Glory for Christ Football League in Georgia grew out of a desire to provide an option for young men who are home-schooled but cannot play in local football leagues.

I’d like to stick a picture of Jesus on the cross beneath that “be the hammer not the nail” sign.
But I’d sure get beaten up by atheletic acedemics.
Yeah, that’s about right.
Looks like spelling takes a back seat at Home School
perhaps they are sponsored by the ace bandage company, or something.
Chris, you spelled the title wrong. It’s “academics”
Hey coach McDaniel: What about ceuntry?
OH-OH SEY CEN YEU SEEE….
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry
clearly, spelling is not very much a priority there.
Good to sea that thay can speel goods. Must be that them there Jesus.
home schooled god-bods…. that’s the stuff of nightmares!
Apparently the North Ga. Falcons aren’t very patriotic.
Why is this so satisfying to me?
I can’t imagine being so stupid as to make a sign with so many errors in this day of spellcheckers. Both the coach and the sign maker must have been home schooled. I guess home schooling emphasizes religion and avoids any other kind of l’arnin’.
acedemics and atheletics eeeeeeeehaaa
Perhaps they are ‘Ace’ademics….
“Ok mom, I hope I do really good at homeschool, that way I can get into home-college, then I can get a home-job and makes tons of home-money.”

Apparently Mick didn’t actually look at the picture before commenting.
:/
Remember, homeschooling’s not just for dumbasses and/or religious folk! And, really, in GA… if you need to get away from the zealots – you stay home.
0. Spelling
Hey Mick, you missed the joke – it’s spelled I-R-O-N-Y.
Yet again, the religious fundamentalists give homeschooling a bad name. We’re homeschooling our kids next year (one’s in kindergarten, the other in 2nd grade) using a hybrid Waldorf curriculum, and we’re about as far from the fundie types as possible. The only things we have in common are an independent streak and a dissatisfaction with the status quo. Funny how those inclinations can lead to such polarized outcomes.
Misspelling makes the baby Jesus cry, you know.
Well, I guess they did warn everyone that was their third priority…
Bob: do your kids a favour and make sure you hybridize out the Steiner approach to tech, science, and maths… Actually I’m sure you are (given your blog). But I’m a… what? alumnus? survivor? of Waldorf education, and while there was a lot that was constructive it left me seriously unprepared for the contemporary world.
