OK, I'm willing to give Lisa Knight the benefit of the doubt. After all, the quote that they included in the article didn't make any sense, even after I read it four times. Nonetheless, the spectacle of a coach saying, "Hey, I believe in equality... but not this much equality!" Gave me a fit of the giggles. The people beside me at work wondered what the hell I was laughing at. However, who could not laugh at this?
Still, Lisa Knight, coach of the Martha's Vineyard High School varsity field hockey team, echoed the opinions of some other coaches in saying that Coolidge has no business competing with girls.
"I disagree, for the clear reason that, number one, I'm big on equality in women's sports," Knight said, after her team lost recently to Sandwich, 2-1. "I think he comes and he displaces a young lady that would be playing on that team."
Oh, absolutely. And then there are all of those female business executives that come and "displace" a fine young man that could be making good money... :-)
