No lesbians in women's sports? Is she insane?

Rene Portland turned Penn State into one of the top programs in women's college basketball.

In the end, her highly successful 27-year tenure as Lady Lions head coach may be remembered just as much for allegations that she may have discriminated against lesbian players.

Penn State announced Portland's resignation Thursday, more than a month after the coach and university settled a lawsuit from a former player who claimed Portland had a "no-lesbian" policy on her team.



I don't really have too much more to add to this except the headline. What next, no male gays in dance or bodybuilding?

Here's a little more about this woman who may have been a succesful basketball coach, but not much of a human being.

Portland was criticized in the past for comments regarding homosexuality. In 1986, she told the Chicago Sun-Times she didn't allow lesbians to play on her team. In a 1991 story in The Philadelphia Inquirer, several former players, recruits and colleagues of Portland said the coach did not tolerate homosexuality among her players.



And wouldn't you just love to have heard those tryout interviews...

"Well Gwen, you shoot great and have excellent use of the fundementals. But let me ask you this: Have you eaten any pussies lately?"

"Gosh no, coach, like all my teammates, I only love cock!"

"Excellent! We can use you then..."

Funny, I've never seen a bigger dyke. Maybe she thought she'd get distracted?

I bet Penn State has a helluva women's softball team!
