“Earlier this season, Prairie View A&M women’s basketball coach Dawn Brown suspended two players on her team because they were dating.”

...each other?

That seems to be the issue. “Players may not have nonprofessional relationships with other players...” in the article.

Lesbian college basketball players? I’m shocked, just shocked.

“The former players had filed a complaint alleging that their dismissal discriminated against them because of sexual orientation, and violated Title IX. Brown, however, notes that a team rule clearly stated, “Players may not have nonprofessional relationships with other players, coaches, managers trainers or any other persons affiliated” with the team. She said she enacted the rule after an assistant coach had a relationship with a player.”

Feelings, nothing more than feelings. Rules? We don’t need no stinkin rules, not when we got feelings. So goes the delusion.

Not the same thing. She's hiding the power differential component. Typical leftist fraud.

One more thought - it's a college team. Players all have non-professional relationships, because they're students. So the rule can't apply to them, because you have to first be a professional to have a non-professional relationship with someone. The only ones who can fit that requirement are coaches, which doesn't apply here.

Regardless of that, team members shouldn’t be dating for very basic reasons. Jealousies, breakups and the like could destroy the whole team’s morale.

It’s a whole weird new area!

“Players may not have nonprofessional relationships with other players...”

So they are professional college ball players? Or do they have to get paid to have relationships with other players? Seems confusing to me.

I see why she did it. It was probably causing drama and lack of team cohesion hurting overall win-loss stats. However, recent exposure to a certain girls/young women’s sports team and hearing of how previous drama effected the current team was an eye opener. BTW the non-drama filled team fielded this season which had much better cohesion. But look at the “agenda” here, the “community” can’t have someone making these rules at a local level, or in a fox hole somewhere, they want everything that is part of their “progress forward”...

She obviously does not realize that gay now trumps black.

“...gay now trumps black.”

I imagine that being a black lesbian is now the bees knees.
The race and sexual orientation cards.
Unlimited use!
Free ride for life!

Stop the world, I need a time out.

Black morbidly obese lesbian!
