An interesting item: A 12-year-old girl was banned from playing in the boys' basketball league she had been playing in since second grade because she was embarrassing the boys with her average 30 points a game. The parents of the opposing teams said their boys weren't playing their best against her because they were afraid of hurting a girl, but this seems unlikely since the girl is 6-foot-1 and can take a charge with the best of them.
Go to Feministing here for more of the story and a video clip.
My favorite part of the whole clip is when one of her teammates—who all support her—says he loves playing with her because "her greatness sprinkles over all of us." Love that kid!
