How many 6’4" women are out there who are good at basketball?
And who the hell cares how they reach orgasm and with whom?
I swear, I will never understand humans.
And to tell prospective players that the coach might be lesbian–what kind of sick minds do these people have? I would be MORE concerned if Coach were a youngish guy–straight, surrounded by fit, trim and attractive women all day long.
Jeesh!
I first read this as: “Assuming lesbians only play basketball is discrimination.”
And thought: “Hey, there’s also softball, golf, field hockey, rugby…”
Now before the shrieking recommences, I’m gonna tell you about the two great loves of my life. There was Mary*, a brainy, brawny, three-sport letterwoman with beautiful brown eyes whose forte was the hoop, and who gave me my first grown-up kiss (and not just my first, and she made the move, Og bless her) at age 15. Then there was Gayle*, an ultrafeminine but game young thing with good strong legs, who’d been brought up mostly in Wales and then tried to get on the rugby club at Mount Holyoke, only to find that Holyoke girls played rugby only under…um…certain conditions.
Haven’t spoken to either in years. Gayle’s now a gerontologist with 2 kids under the age 7. Mary’s a high school dean and…b’ball coach…still using her maiden name…hmm.
An easier way to beat off a defamation charge is found in the bolded words above. Unless Portland has written down somewhere her definition of a satisfactory “level of commitment”, it’s subjective to Portland, and thus not actionable.
