black people steal things from white people

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

It’s just how they are………..

Here’s The Daily Show talking with coach Don “Moose” Lewis on his proposed all-white men basketball league. Moose, based in Georgia, believes that with people from other countries and other colored skin, white guys aren’t getting enough play because the others are better than them. And that’s bad.

Kudos to the kid with a strong enough disposition to not go ballistic on the coach when he’s accused of stealing.

Girl Sues School for Sexual Harassment… Sort of

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

A former female basketball player is suing Central Michigan University and women’s basketball coach Sue Guevara, alleging she terminated a scholarship because of differences in appearance and sexual orientation.

–from Central Michigan University’s cm-life.com

That’s right. The way she looked — like a girl by today’s Western culture. A heterosexual girl. Whaaaaa? Take a look at the difference between the two ladies at odds:

student Brooke Heike and coach Sue Guevara

Heike was constantly harassed by her coach for not looking dykey. Shit you not. Heike has the scholaship official and the Board of Trustees on her side. Apparently Guevara has a history of ‘tude concerning girls who don’t look like lesbians. I’m all for girls not feeling the need to wear make up or not be made up all the time, but she made fun of her for having a boyfriend. That’s just dumb.

To be continued!

Why boys and girls don’t play together

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Okay. Jaime Nared is 12-years-old and playing on boys’ traveling basketball teams, and she’s not allowed to play on the team anymore because she is too good. This is the 12-year-old level. The gal is already 6′1″ and is schooling the guys. Forget the girls’ teams her age. She beats the pulp out of them, too. Her good friend, Kailee Johnson, is one grade older than her. And 6′2″. They play on the local high school’s girls’ team together. People are pissed about Jaime trying playing with the boys because… well i’m not sure why. And playing on the high school team is pissing off the parents of girls that miiiiight be getting less court time because the middle-schooler is there. Dudes… she’s really good. Chill the fuck out.

For those who don’t play sports, the general tradition of females versus males is that males tend to be faster, stronger, and more agile than females. Males naturally have more testosterone and therefore can retain muscle mass growth better than females. They play at different levels and therefore play on different teams. But skill is pretty arbitrary. Jaime and I can only assume Kailee as well are screwing with that. HAH.
