Extra points is irritating, but not being able to block a shot? What? An all female team would BREAK these rules.

According to these rules, I'm not even allowed to make a fucking layup.

The fuck is this shit! They did not even let Air Bud score 4 pointers!

You know who I feel sorry for? All the skinny, short guys. How messed up must this league be for them!

I remember playing boys vs girls basketball for my youth group in high school, the only difference in rules was that the men had to wear socks on their hands. The boys beat the girls in a total shutout.

Coed Softball is the same. In my league this year, guys had to bat from the opposite side of the plate. Also, if you walked a guy, he got 2nd base to penalize teams from intentionally walking. Of course, almost no team has a pitcher good enough to pitch a strike out consistently, so walks were a big scoring tool.

So men > women according to CU. I think a better control would be to not discriminate against whoever has a penis, but to set quotas for who is in field (e.g. 2 girls and 3 guys on the court at all times for each team) and allow a larger number of players (maybe 12-15 for each team) to make up the larger team that has no quotas.

Rules are crazy, but you have the right to not play.

OK, let's be real here. we can all agree that men on average are physically stronger than women. Here is what I don't agree with. All shots should count the same. You hit a three point shot it is 3 points. Just like in a regular game. Not allowing guys to back down girls into the lane and shoot, I am ok with that. That would go on all day. Not blocking shots, Ok with that too. This could also go on all day.

I have coached and have had kids in both boys and girls sports. This is a CO_ED league. If you don't like the rules--stay home. Just for fun. If you are so concerned about the pureness of the sport, suck it up and go play in a mens league. Geez. We can pick our battles for mens rights. This is not one of them. Sorry.

There should be one rule only. No blood no foul

2009-09-10T09:36:37+00:00

wow, what the hell is there to say, except why would you wanna be in any situation where you might have physical contact with a college student, you know if you look at her to long thats a rape accusation. if you bump into her you'll actually be convicted.

The rules are stupid. The result of such rules would not be basketball.

But it's hardly a big deal. Don't like it, don't play.

locriology · 2009-09-10T01:51:51+00:00

Not to be rude, but so what? I think it's fair. It evens the playing field.

PierceHarlan · 2009-09-10T01:11:30+00:00

You should go cry about it. I mean, you're obviously on your period to get upset by something like that. I bet you hate it when ladies drink for free too. This might help; 1. Clear sand from vagina. 2. Suck it up. 3. Go get sweaty with women. If you need help from there out, that's a whole nother problem.
