Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, May 25, 2008

If you check out after atalanta you've read about 12-year-old, 6'1" Jaime Nared who's been banned from playing against the boys because she's a girl (not because she's dropping 30+ on opposing teams.)

aa also directed you to Pandagon for more on the issue.
Let me just say here that the sports-radio reaction - one of the most accurate bellwethers in the history of opinion - locally has been overwhelmingly supportive of young Ms. Nared. Usually you can find a few devil’s-advocate types who spout some sexist party-line nonsense, but in this case the Hoop doesn’t have a supporter as far as the eye can see.
Now there's some video from Good Morning America.
