Girl not allowed to play with boys
 

You play ball like a girl.

That used to be an insult. In Beaverton, Oregon, it's becoming more like a fantasy.

Jaime Nared, a 12-year-old girl who stands 6-foot-1, has been told she can no longer play on the boys team of which she has been a member since the second grade, according to a report on the Web site of The Oregonian. Curiously, the timing of her ban came in the wake of a 30-point effort against an all-boys team.

What grade is a 12 year old in? She's been playing in the league since the second grade. If there was a rule against a girl playing in the league - it should have been brought up then. Maybe some of the parents should teach their sons how to play ball instead of being a whiny biatch.

As a side note.... 6'1" at 12 years old... geesh.

Future cock blocker.

We had a girl when I was in middle school 6th through 8th grade who stood about 6'3 and was 300+ pounds. She could have been able to play Oline on our football team.

More seems not to work?

remove the second one.

We're talking bball here, not football or wrestling.

Let her play...

My oldest son is 9 years old. He's going to be in 4th grade. 12 would be, what, 6-7 grade.

The only thing I'll say is the girl is probably a good 8+ inches taller than the next tallest person in her class.

Ewe tough subject..

Part of me thinks, let the girl play she has been on the team since 2nd grade.. And the other teams should have known about her for a long team since it is the same league for years..

The only IFFY part comes in IF the other players are treating her differently.. (IE not playing her as tough since she is a girl).. The coaches just need to teach the boys to treat her equally and shut her down..

But if the girl is actually good and the other teams are just trying to find a way to win like this, then that is total BS and they should all be publicly shammed..

Did she EAT one of the boys?

Dear God, that girl is a monster.

Nevertheless, let her play.

LMAO @ broadzilla

When I was in high school it was unheard of for girls in boys sports. Now they have two girls on the wrestling team. As a former HS wrestler and a father of two teenage daughters, there's no way in hell I'de allow my kids to play the sport.

A line has to be drawn in the sand somewhere, and girls basketball is an option schools give. Let her dominate the female side of the sport and get a free ride through college to boot.

So most boys do not pick on girls and treat them as tough or even worse when growing up? I did, maybe even worse.

I have been wrong before but I expect the parents have more to do with this BS than the boys.

It has been happening since the 2nd grade and now they decide she is not a player that they treat the same way?

At 12 years old?

I call BS, maybe they need to make them all not losers and not keep score.

""They said the problem was the boys were playing differently against her because she was a girl," Franzer said, according to the paper. "They'd been taught to not push a girl, so they weren't fouling her hard, and the focus had shifted from playing basketball to noticing a girl was on the floor with them.""

Yea they are playing different, they are scared shitless of her.......

I have no problem with a girl playing basketball with the boys.......about the only sport I have a problem with a girl competing with the boys, is wrestling....as an ex high school wrestler I know first hand, it can get a little intamite on the matt......plus I know of a couple of moves wich would not be as effective on a girl as it is on a boy due to the lack of chestnuts......

I don't think there is any reason she shouldn't be able to compete with boys at that age. When she goes to highschool however, there is no way she belongs on a men's team.
