She is amazing. I saw this on the news when it happened.

I thought this was some of the stupidest shit I'd ever read:

"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.

The parents can't take it because she can kick their boys' asses in basketball. Also, since when are you supposed to "foul hard" in basketball?

It's a tactic. However, in Junior High when the girls team played the boys team, us being girls didn't stop them from fouling us hard. Basketball is a very physical sport and I can see why it would be difficult for boys to play girls.
