all because she wore a swimsuit that bore a powerful message
Leidy’s powerful message didn’t resonate with one of the competition’s officials.
Did we mention that it's a powerful message? Because it's a powerful message. If we repeat it that means it must be true!
Of course it also must be true that the official didn't like it simply because of the message and not because political messages of any kind are against the fucking rules.
The youth swimmer proudly arrived to her swim meet
But what about bravely or courageously? Come on, propagandist, we need to know these things.
She said, ‘mom, I’m not taking the suit off, and I said ‘you go girl’
Lyons said she called on the help of Duluth’s NAACP chapter to rectify the issue.
The proper response to your daughter violating the rules of the sport, right? Reward her and then call in lawyers to get the rules overturned at a fucking small-time swim meet.
A few minutes later, members of the Duluth YMCA were on-site to review the matter.
A few minutes? Wow, what a quick response! Hmm...
The organization also banned the volunteer race official from participating in future Duluth YMCA meets.
Yeah, fuck that person for doing their fucking job as prescribed, right?
It’s a proud mama moment for sure
Oh absolutely. I'm sure that this selective enforcement of the rules in your favor will engender positive attitudes towards your daughter, your movement, and your race.
