Brittney Griner

Britteny Griner of Baylor University punched an opposition’s player during a collegiate basketball game. I think this is just an amazing display of no self-control whatsoever.

Young women basketball players are exposed to this malicious behavior and it could affect the way they act. Young women who saw this could be altered into believing that it is okay to punch people if something doesn’t go their way.


This event sets a horrible example for the kids watching and the NCAA itself. In current times, the NCAA is recruiting talent and they will do anything that they can in order to obtain a certain individual. These individuals may have the right talent, but they don't necessarily have the right character. Sports should be played with a great deal of respect and a lot of NCAA players, either women or men do not show this kind of respect that the game deserves. This also occurs in the NBA. There is a great deal of a lack of sportsmanship in the NBA. A lot of players are known as "punks" and they get arrested. Are these the kind of role models that we want our kids getting attached to?
