I guess I can now fight to wear my cross necklace during sporting events.

She will be allowed to wear only one suicide belt under her robes.

Why have uniforms? Let the players wear what they want.

I would guess that Burqa-Ball is the next new sporting activity on the agenda. They need to raise taxes to fund it.

"She will be allowed to wear only one suicide belt under her robes."

Yes, and she can only detonate it in the last two minutes of the half, and only if her team is behind by more than 10 points and they have a foul to give. NCAA needs to update its rules to accomodate The New Breed.

How about SHE adjust to OUR society? If she doesn't like it, she can go back home.

This is America.

If only one person wants to wear a clown suit, then everybody must be forced to wear the same thing to be fair and allow diversity.

Certainly nobody wants to offend the "woman" wearing long pants, a top with long sleeves and a head scarf.

She looks just like the girl next door. See the two photos at: http://www.sptimes.com/2004/09/11/Hillsborough/Islamic_USF_player__D.shtml

In accordance with being a Catholic school, Notre Dame players should be permitted to wear cassocks and bishop's mitres during their games.

What about the girls basketball team from the University of Nudists?

What do you do about that team............

and where do I buy tickets?

From your linked article, Armstrong states: "I just want to play," said Armstrong, 22. "I've been doing this since third grade. This is my life."

Pretty disingenuous statement considering her epiphany, in my opinion.

This is a hugh mistake. A student is in school to learn. Her parcipitation in athletics or other events outside of straight classes is entirely her decision. All the teams wear a UNIFORM for a reason. They are a TEAM. Next thing, doo-rags, bling-bling and Lord knows what else will become a "religious" belief and become that player's "uniform". This is crap. If she wants to play, she can play dressed as the rest of the team. The uniform isn't a surprise at this stage of team sports in the USA.
Let her go be on the ARCHERY team.

I hear their team has great ball-handling skills.

What I'd like to know is what is going on in these universities that is getting to these students so that they convert to this sham religion? Something tells me leftist professors, Muslim extremists, and the inappropriately named "women's movement" on campus has much to do with it. I say if her conversion is so heartfelt, then she would shun this sport and its uniform. Not only would she consider the uniform inappropriate, but so to the image of a Muslim woman as aggresive. I don't buy it. I smell leftist ACLU diversity/devisive politics at play. Something tells me once this young lady gets her way, all of a sudden her conversion will be over.

The camel's nose is under the tent. Next,.....

This girl has a self-indulgent, narcissistic martyr complex. She needs to feel special. Self-indulgent whining and self-pity.

Bitch slap her. Throw her off the team.

I happen to agree with you. But I'm sure you know we will begin to see more and more of this as time goes by. This is only the beginning. The Muslim religion is very centered on what it wants to accomplish in the United States, and they're on their way. (And yes, I have known some nice Muslim people, but that doesn't change it one whit.)
