My father used to umpire national softball tournaments in Canada. The women's tournaments were notorious for the interpersonal drama off the field, what with friendships forming and breaking with such passionate intensity.

Why should it be any different in soccer?

f you’re ever in a jam, here I am
If you’re ever in a mess, S-O-S
If you ever feel so happy, you land in jail, I’m your bail.
It’s friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgot,
Ours will still be hot.
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle dig, dig, dig.

If you’re ever up a tree, phone to me.
If you’re ever down a well, ring my bell.
If you ever lose your teeth, and you’re out to dine, borrow mine.
It’s friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgate,
Ours will still be great.
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle, chuck, chuck, chuck.

If they ever black your eyes, put me wise.
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose.
If they ever put a bullet through your brain, I’ll complain.
It’s friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgit,
Ours will still be it.
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle, hep, hep, hep.

Women’s soccer and basketball have done more to promote lesbianism among young women today than any other force within society.

Somewhere, Vince Lombardi must be watching all of this and shaking his head in utter disbelief.

Who pays money to watch lesbians play pro soccer?

More complex emotions. Hmm....

Funny how Don Shula never had a thing for Dan Marino, nor Bill Walsh for Joe Montana.

I don’t watch Women’s soccer, but Thorns and Currents are stupid names.

It’s a shame that some people are so sensitive about team names that everyone ends up with unexciting names.

Why couldn’t they just keep it private? It was no one’s business.

I realize I am likely to get stoned for saying this, but I must admit I tend to view male vs female homosexuality very differently. Male homos, at least those few I have been acquainted with, have one primary goal in their actions: to get their physical jollies. With whom, or what, is immaterial. They can and do go to “bath houses” and have sex with MANY other like-minded phags in a single visit. No emotion involved, purely animal lust.

I have known several lesbians in my time, and nearly all are on much more of an emotional level. It is almost always an emotional relationship, sometimes not even involving sex. Also, lesbian sex is different because they cannot pass reproductive DNA between partners. They can go through the motions to a degree, but it is all based on a much higher emotional level than that which I am capable.

A few lesbians have been my good friends in my earlier days. Though I may see them as occasionally having an emotional screw loose, I always had great respect for them as persons.

I don’t think this female coach should have lost her job and gained the ire of the community over this incident. Things like this happen all the time among young women. I have read several times, and I believe it, that if truth be told the vast majority of women have and at least one emotional bond in their lives which could be labeled “lesbian”.

This woman made a good explanation, truthfully it appears, and didn’t make any excuses nor attempts to avoid her fate. Obviously she was a good coach, so she should be left alone and all this forgotten.
