Case: Basketball Team- Similar Case
I coached a high school womens basketball team. Several players on the team were openly lesbians. Throughout the course of four years, more and more players "came out." I heard several rumors that one player, Chelsea, was approaching another player, Sarah, and wanting to "date" her. Sarah was not a lesbian and politely handled the matter by simply saying no. After several no's, Chelsea began punishing Sarah on the basketball court. She would not pass Sarah the ball, set picks for Sarah, and continously complain that Sarah wasn't doing her job. Since Chelsea was the leader of the team and of the lesbian group, the other lesbian players treated Sarah the same. It's not fair to Sarah to allow the other players to treat her this way, but I can't call attention to the lesbians without them thinking I'm discriminating.How do I handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it's important to discuss what being on a team means. Also, I don't you don't want to discriminate them because they are lesbians, but couldn't what they did to Sarah also be called discrimination since she is not a lesbian and is in the minority in this case? Of course they are also bullying. I think it's time to talk about the meaning of a team, and that we need to treat each other equally and fairly. |

| Comments: I agree that is discriminating against Sarah and they are not treating her as a teammate. It would be the best way, with out discriminating against them, is to sit them down and talk to them about what they have been doing and that, that's not what a team is. And if they continue to treat her wrong I would talk to the parents or a councilor. |

| Comments: While one can't assume theirs was also a case of discrimination against Sarah for not being a lesbian, but they are certainly bullying, and I think it is great to talk about what a team is and how everyone should interact not just with social matters, but for the success of the team. |

| Comments: I think people on this page are confused as to what discrimination really is. This isn't really discrimination. This is bullying. Treating this as if it were a discrimination case would not solve the problem. |

| Comments: I do not agree with this solution. The coach can not approach this issue on the ground of sexual preference. This would open line of misinterpretation and land him in the bosses office. |
