SMU head coach Rhonda Rompola shared a Dallas home with Nancy Lieberman and Martina Navratilov in the 1980s. She married a male basketball coach in 2007; he works 1100 miles away from her. Cover?

In 1982, the football coach at my high school told the players they weren’t allowed to have sex with each other. Apparently those who wanted some and weren’t getting any were jealous and it was affecting the team cohesion.

I’m not sure the coach was out of line if all she said was that mixing sex and work was out of line. A lot us don’t sex and work. Without knowing if the coach went beyond that to condemn lesbians is sports or lesbian sex, I don’t know the coach was out of line.

Scotland, that silly Sticks and Stones adage is simply not true. Anyone who has experienced discrimination (and rest assured, everyone on this site probably has) knows that words DO have the same effect as physical harassment, if not more.

The being said, a team cannot unify and beat other teams if there are stupid statements being made like those the coach made.

Scotland, you have got to be kidding…putting blame on a discrimination lawsuit as a reason why the US economy is in shambles? Puh-leeze! Get your head out of the hole in the ground and look around. The Coach was out of line, no coach should talk like that whatsoever. It destroys the team cohesion the players need to work together and win.

Has this woman never heard of the expression “Sticks and Stones”?

She really has to get a life this “Sue culture” is part of why our Nations are in Dire Financial Straits.

Unless she DOES have something to hide, most of them do.
