Sly, maybe you haven't seen Griner since you don't have a TV, but seriously, she looks extremely masculine. It makes you wonder.

Dude.....get a grip..... I for got more about basketball than you will ever know.... coach for many years... and I can say whatever I want about whom ever I want... if you don't like it.. you n yours can take a flying leap...pc people are destroying the world..

It is not your basketball experience that gives you the right to say whatever you want; the US Constitution gives you that right. But it also gives me the right to respond to it. It is not about being pc; it is about being a mature human being, about being an adult. Your comment offended me and I am not the only one it offended. I am guessing that few people ever told you to shut up in your life, and that is sad because I get the impression that you should speak a lot less than you do.

Tell you what, Homer, take that comment you made originally about how ugly she is and show it to your mother/daughter/girlfriend/wife and ask them whether they respect you more or less for having said it. I will say it again, you're comment was pathetic and your basketball acumen doesn't change that.

You just don't get it, do you? Perhaps if you had studied harder instead of playing so much ball you would have a clue. Of course she won't read it, but I did and so did a lot of other people. Think about that next time you are about to hit the post button.

My wife said it wasnt nice....... doesn't mean it wasn't true....
I'm not getting in to your tough guy wannabe machi internet fight...
I'm aware of how I got my right to say what I want... I'm aware of how you got the right to respond.... I'm also aware your opinion was probably given to you by someone else whereas I form my own

I've seen her play against the Vols when I can catch the games streamed online. I wish we could have recruited her.

Would definately have been a beast for Pat and would take her on the team in a heartbeat. Masculine looking or not, she can ball.

Children take it outside to the playground. Actually I disagree with both of you.
Number one I'd never bascially gloat about someone beating the Lady Vols and then basically saying it would happen again. Secondly, I have never been so embarrassed as I was one year whn I happened to be in Know watching Diane Tarausi and Uconn kick our tails, thats not what embarrassed me, the idiot Tennessee fan making nasty remarks about the way Tarausi looked (which looks okay to me btw) was terribly embarrassing to me as a Vol's fan. Personally I hope Freak bans both of you guys if you can't grow up a bit. This site was not built overnight you know. He hates nonsense especially in the Lady Vol forums, read the post at the top of the page that says "Please read".:loco:

No, I won't get over it and I am about to tell you why.

There are two reasons I am responding so strongly to what you said. First, I am a teacher. Second, I have a daughter. My 15-, 16- and 17-year-old female students constantly post pictures of themselves online in scanty clothing and make-up, posed in sexually suggestive ways. Yet they rarely study their homework. Why is this? It is because they have gotten the message strong and clear that the only value women have in this society is beauty and that women who are not beautiful or at least sexually arousing to men are worthless. Now where in the world do you think these girls got that idea?

I do not want my daughter to have to fight that battle when she gets older. I do not want her to see her worth in her looks. And I certainly do not want her bringing home a guy like you. I want her power to come from her intelligence and her personality. Beauty fades and when it goes, women get dumped. But smart women gain power as they age because they only get smarter. That is how I want my daughter to grow up.

Look, there are two ways for people to gain the admiration of others. One way is to do amazing things, to create wonderful works of art, to solve long-standing problems, to bring people and societies closer together (as elite athletes often do, thank you Britney Griner). The other way is to make fun of people that cannot defend themselves and let all the other losers laugh with them. The first way takes many years of life to achieve. The second way is achieved every day by sixth graders on the playground. Which method are you using to gain the respect of your peers?

I hope this clears up for you why I hesitate to let this go. Whenever I see such attitudes as yours, I respond. I hope you can respect that. And I hope you can think about how what you say affects those around you next time. It is rarely harmless fun. Even if girls don't read it, other guys do and if they see it is a path to power, we all suffer. Do the right thing.

Tarausi had a potty mouth and the same type of ego as her coach. I don't like either.

I get where you are coming from. Women are going to be judged by men for eternity. That isn't going to change.

What can change, is the value of the opinion. Men on this message board continually critique women. Women posters, random pictures they find, "famous" women. It only matters if you consider their opinion valid. Giving weight to what they say only encourages them.

Wow, I understand your feelings, but the best way for your daughter to learn the lessons you want is for you to teach her. Good parenting is what you should be encouraging. Society and its general opinion plays a much smaller role in a young girl's life than parenting. Lessons begin at home, and they begin at a very early age.

Griner lost any support and admiration I might of had for her when she sucker punched that player for Texas Tech and got ejected.

By the way, Griner is an ass and one of the last people I would want someone to emulate.

Guess I missed that. When did it happen? Was it recent or awhile back?

I think a couple of years ago she got mad because she wasn't getting her way. She had just got scored on and while running back to the other end she ran up behind the girl and cold cocked her while running up the court. Was suspended several games iirc.

I agree that this is important and I try to do this, but it is like emptying the ocean with a teacup. Therefore, when I see others furthering these attitudes, I say something.
