St. Mary's Acad. says woman cannot ref boys game.
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 08:18 AM by BlueJazz
Dear God We can't have those "Women" referee a Boys Basketball game.

What a Dumb-Ass pack of Religious Nuts....Do they have Teachers in the classroom teaching Boys?...Welll...Ahhh..Yes.

.
"The reason given, according to the referees: Campbell, as a woman, could not be put in a position of authority over boys because of the academy's beliefs."

Campbell then walked off the court along with Darin Putthoff, the referee who was to work the game with her.

"I said, 'If Michelle has to leave, then I'm leaving with her,"' Putthoff said Wednesday. "I was disappointed that it happened to Michelle. I've never heard of anything like that."

1. The male ref should've stayed.
And called every play a foul against St. Mary's.

4. That's like the idiot in San Antonio a few years back
He wanted the judge to recuse herself from his trial because he was "a devout Christian and it says in the Bible that women should not sit in judgment over men". He response was "If you are such a good Christian why are you in here charged with not one but two counts of murder?"
