Would have been worse if the Coach said she plays like a girl.

It's so hard for good players to get a break.

I heard the comment when she made it and hoped she meant it as a compliment. On further review, I believe she did.

Unlike the One who throws like a girl.

He meant that as a compliment. Why can’t we just leave it there?

Well, it looks like a guy, talks like a guy, and walks like a guy. Wonder if it has as much testosterone as a guy?

Just sayin.

She’s one of the few women basketball players that can dunk the ball.

She’s probably the only college basketball player who would be competeetive on a men’s team.

She’s good. It should be considered an accurate statement.

They need a Barr Cheek Cell Test. Many of these ‘female’ athletes are actually mutants: XXXY, XXY and many other genetic variations. If I was a female LPGA player I ask for a genetics test on Yani Tseng. The question then becomes if they are predominantly ‘female’ and only partially genetically ‘male’, should they still be allowed to play?

I agree! I was astounded when I heard her voice. If she is not really a he, I would be amazed.

Of course, what does it matter these days? They let the so-called transgendered compete in women’s sports and even beauty contests. According to liberals, there are no differences between men and women and we all choose what we want to be. What a crazy world.
