While I think its unfortunate that this coach is "discriminating" against this girl because of her gender, my question is why do parents insist on having their daughters play baseball if they have the option to play fastpitch softball? Why not support the girls program and promote the game of fastpitch which really is a different game than baseball?
Because maybe she wants to play baseball and not softball? I know a lot of girls who prefer baseball to softball. (I think they're nuts personally)
And why is discriminated in quotation marks? She was asked to leave the team because she was a girl. That is fact. With the coach admitting that he was keeping lesser players (her brother) because they were boys. So he could play 'more competitive' baseball. For seven year olds.
