This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Wonder what they were thinking when they recruited her ? I know it is not popular to be even the slightest bit critical of female athletes, but they want to be treated equally with men, so why not ? She can shoot the ball real well, and if she can add some strength and some agility and quickness, she could be a nice role player off the bench. I'm pulling for her. My take is, it is OK to be critical of college athletes as long as we are not mean spirited. If we talk about what we perceive to be their strengths and weaknesses without getting too personal or insulting, it should be fine. I just wanted to say that now in case anyone felt compelled to jump on you for your comment.
