The Pope says, "F~~~ Title IX"

[Solo MAN’S WisdomParticipant]

The New Jersey seventh-grader whose family sued the Catholic school that refused to let her to play basketball on the boys team was abruptly expelled from her middle school Wednesday.

The parents of 12-year-old Sydney Phillips were sent a letter from an Archdiocese of Newark lawyer saying that both Sydney and her sister Kaitlyn should not attend St. Theresa “tomorrow morning or any day thereafter.”

“I’m furious,” the girls’ dad, Scott Phillips, said Wednesday night. “This is unbelievable. We just wanted her to play basketball.”

The Phillips family was hoping Sydney would be able to play with the boys after the girls team was disbanded last school year.

When the Kenilworth school nixed that idea, her dad took legal action against the archdiocese and St. Theresa.

Apparently the school charter maintains that it can boot a student whose family brings a suit against it.

The Phillips family learned of the shocking decision at a training facility for the WNBA’s New York Liberty, where Sydney had been invited to watch the professional women’s team practice.

“I am disgusted. How dare them? What did Katy do? What did Sydney do?” Scott asked. “I don’t know what we’re going to do next, but we’re still going to fight.”

Last month, a New Jersey judge denied Sydney’s request to force St. Theresa to let her play, claiming there was just not enough ­evidence to upend the “status quo.” Source: foxnews.com

Aren’t there leagues outside of school?

Man, if some chick wanted to join my hockey teams as a kid she would’ve been pulverized.

But these uber sensitive boys will probably give her open looks at the basket and not guard her properly…Because she’s a girl.

We used to play without protection, just sticks, skates, a puck and some nasty hard ICE!

Are they sure they want to bleed on the ice?

How about an elbow in the eye socket, ever get one of those playing B-ball?

They belong torturing their Ken Doll with Barbies bulls~~~…

Hahaha, great pic

We use to have pick up games (shinny) a lot in my teenage years.
They would get somewhat rough, but that’s what sports is when you get the testosterone flowing.

I’m sure if someone causes a woman to bleed while playing a sport with boys/men they will get sued for assault.

Maybe I’m wrong, but doesn’t the Catholic Church go around the world telling everyone how loving and accepting they are ??

But, For some reason, they can’t let a girl play basketball, and then kick the two kids out of school on top of it.

Something seems amiss, and I can’t quite equate the two ??

It’s probably just me…….

What does loving and accepting have to do with a bunch of libtard parents suing you because their Mary Sue wants special treatment and force the hand of an established school? I bet the parents acted like a bunch of c~~~s long before the law suit.

Suing the school because it would not let her play on the boys team? what the f~~~ are you gonna expect is gonna happen?

Also i do not think daddy’s little girl is going to a Newark public school, Or daddy would think about it, especially if he sent her to private catholic school, because that would be dangerous for his wittle girls, so now all private schools must watch their asses for this manginas kids.

Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.

Well, for one thing, the article did not state that the girl was actually good enough to play on the team. There are limited spots. Really, it doesn’t say why she wasn’t on the team, we’re just supposed to assume it was some misogynistic reason.

Honestly, I blame the dad. If she was any good, and really cared about his daughter, he should have found a different league. Even then, he sued without considering how the school could legally respond.

As a random aside, I seriously doubt the girl could hold her own, as girls are downright horrible at basketball. Case in point, post college, I dated a 6’1″ woman who played college ball. She had a 6′ roommate who also played in college. We had a mutual friend 5’10” daughter of Del Harris. I’m 6’3″, played third string in HS, pick up games in college. The 4 of us decided to play 2 on 2 one day, but it was never evenly matched, so tried 1 on 3, the girls against me. I think I lost by a point or 2.

Second aside…that game was extremely fun and therapeutic. I was outnumbered, they were all tall and shoot, so I had no qualms about rejecting their s~~~ with authority whenever I could. No “but I’m a girl” excuses.

Ok. Then do it.

So, the “loving” “caring” church PUNISHES the children for the actions of the parents. This is the Catholic solution.??? It explains a lot !!

I must have missed that part in the Bible.

Let me help – it’s 1 Cor 6:

When any of you has a grievance against another, do you dare to take it to court before the unrighteous, instead of taking it before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels—to say nothing of ordinary matters? 4 If you have ordinary cases, then, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to decide between one believer and another, 6 but a believer goes to court against a believer—and before unbelievers at that?

7 In fact, to have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 But you yourselves wrong and defraud—and believers at that.

You don’t bring lawsuits against the church over this sort of crap (1 Cor 5, for everyone else, points out you DO judge over sexual immorality – so people suing over priests who molested children are in the right. Suing over a feminist bulls~~~ – ‘let a girl on the boys basketball team’ is totally against the Bible).

Sounds like the kid had talent, but the dad is going about fostering that talent the wrong way. Part of our, “blame and sue” social mentality. What happens when the kid hits her peak and she isn’t quite good enough for the WNBA – sue the coach?

[experiencedParticipant]

Agreed.
(sarcasm) It’s important when you’re the dad of a gifted child, to use them, you know, to make a point about something.
Don’t put in the effort to find other ways and solutions and routes to success, “no” just bang them into a wall to make your point.
Then even get them a headstone ahead of time, “Here lies so and so and they could have been great, they could have been fantastic, but they didn’t take any s~~~ from the Catholic church / police officer / military member who outranked them / person above them in the corporate office / etc.”
Didn’t take s~~~ from anybody, ruined their life, but didn’t take s~~~ from anybody.
