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 would call a team meeting and have a talk with the girls. I will tell them that we should accept and respect each other sexual orientation. Also I will tell them that everyone makes up this team and we should treat everyone as a team member on and off the court. I would address that I don't like how Sarah is being treated by others and would love for them to change their ways and continue to play ball as a team. |

| Comments: I would also suggest telling the student to leave the relationship drama off the team. Just like no dating in the workplace, no dating in or on the team. |

| Comments: I don't think these girls are picking on Sarah because of her sexual orientation. They're picking on her because she exercised her right to say no. This case should be treated as if a girl rejected a boy's advances, or if a boy rejected a girl's advances. I think Chelsea is just upset she got rejected. This dose not make what she is doing right in any form, but I don't think it has anything to do with sexuality. |
