[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I had no idea how many people associate girls sports with mean girl behaviors. I didn't play sports in high school (I was a drama nerd). My DD is an athlete though. Is this common?[/quote]

Look at all the media attention around the WNBA and the hazing of Caitlin Clark. Things that would get a pass in men’s sports is seen as “mean” when females do it.[/quote]

Wrong. Flagrant fouls are ejection level offenses. As Chennedy Carter, who's been disciplined and kicked off mid-season of THREE TEAM programs by now (2 NBA, 1 EU), keeps doing.  Don't cite them and say anything but that.

Even NBA stopped that thugball behavior 20+ years ago. No one wants to watch that, only thugs want to play that, no team will pay up for a top athlete because serious injury risk goes up, and no sponsors will take a chance on someone with potential temper who assaults other players. So no, males in the NBA did not get a pass for deliberate "mean" assaults. That's not basketball. Anywhere.

I mean seriously, if anyone should have been fired long ago for unsportsmanlike behavior it's Chennedy Carter. She's got a rap sheet a mile long of playing nasty. [/quote]
