Asked the wife, "Did you read my post on lesbians and basketball."
<rolls eyes> "Yes."
"What did you think?"
<rolls eyes> "So you think playing basketball is going to make her into a lesbian."
"Of course not."
"None of the girls on my high school team were lesbians."
"How do you know?"
"I just know."
"How many girls in high school go around outting themselves to the student body?"
<doesn't respond, goes into ignore mode>
Apparently this is a VERY touchy subject!!!
Just as a demonstration of how this lesbian thing permeates our consciousness of women's basketball, when I posted on FB my intention to try and interest my daughter in basketball, a female FB friend said <paraphrasing> "Don't! We saw a billboard of Baylor basketball and the player looked like a man! Try dance."
She must have been talking about Griner.
I mean, is this the equivalent of a guy having to tell his buddies that he is into ribbon dancing? "HEY DON'T LAUGH, IT IS AN OLYMPIC SPORT!!"
Incidentally, we practiced throwing the ball back and forth today again. She likes ball, and I'm going to make her into a total baller. There will be boys who cry themselves to sleep after getting hooped on by her. One day. The spawn of Mike Waters are fierce.
