Kim mulkey anti lgbtq

This month of March has been electrifying with brilliant basketball on both sides of the border.

On some sites, more tickets for the Final Four of the women's NCAA tournament have been sold than the men's tournament. As a fan of women's college basketball, it's been thrilling to watch six hours a day of games that seem to be tight and so fiercely competitive.

As we see women's sports grow in Canada and around the world, an important part of the sports landscape is journalism. If we want accountability, transparency and proper progress in sports cultures, journalism is a staple of that industry.

Recently, Kim Mulkey, Louisiana State University's polarizing and colourful-outfit-wearing coach (think Don Cherry but blonde), verbally attacked a journalist from the Washington Post (without saying his name, Kent Babb) because he is operational on a profile of her that perceives to cast her in a negative light.

Mulkey is not a person who shies away from the spotlight, as long as she's happy with the rays. In this case, she said a "sleazy reporter" was working on a "hit piece" and she h

Brittney Griner Loves Baylor University, But Its Anti-Gay Policies Hurt Her and the School

Brittney Griner was a high-school basketball player who’d already been out for two years when she first told her soon-to-be college coach she was gay. She wondered if Kim Mulkey, head coach of the Lady Bears of Baptist-affiliated Baylor University, would mind she was lesbian.

“Big Girl, I don’t care what you are,” Griner recalls Mulkey saying in her new memoir, In My Skin. “You can be black, light, blue, purple, whatever. As long as you approach here and do what you need to perform and hoop, I don’t care.”

For the most part, Griner did what she needed to do in her four years at Baylor. The Houston native left as the all-time NCAA leader in blocked shots, a three-time AP All-American, and two-time national player of the year. She and fellow Texan Odyssey Sims led Baylor to the 2012 national title after a 40-and-0 season. This record is all the more astounding because it comes during a century when Connecticut has won eight of 15 national titles.

Griner was simply the most dominant force the women’s college game has ever seen. Now she’s on the cusp of breaking out in her second year of WNBA pla

Kim Mulkey’s past controversies revisited in much-anticipated Washington Post report

The Washington Publish article that LSU women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey threatened legal action over was published Saturday, revisiting topics about how the longtime coach treated homosexual players, how she acted during Baylor football’s sexual assault scandal and her relationships with Brittney Griner and her father, Les.

Emily Niemann, who played for Baylor during the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons, alleged that Mulkey called her into the coach’s office and said it’s “not a good look” after Niemann had been spotted in public with another woman.

Niemann later transferred, but wrote in a 2014 piece for Outsports, according to the Washington Post, “did not exit Baylor because coach Mulkey is homophobic.”

Mulkey’s attorneys refuted the allegation that the coach treated players who were gay “more harshly or differently.”

Mulkey also reportedly criticized star forward Angel Reese for entity among the players who “stay on that social media crap,” according to emails that the Washington Post obtained, and told a “supporter” that Reese wasn’t inc

After entering the NCAA Tournament as a No. 1 seed due to a 30-1 regular-season tape, newly-named 2019 WBCA Coach of the Year Kim Mulkey’s Baylor Bears include not disappointed. Propelled by the dynamic duo of Kalani Brown and Lauren Cox, the Bears have dominated.

With an Elite Eight victory over Iowa, Baylor returns to the Final Four for the first time since 2012, seemingly poised to claim the championship. The Lady Bears’ previous appearance featured a squad — led by then-junior Brittney Griner — that secured a 40-0 record by trouncing Notre Dame in the national title game.

Such accomplishment would further cement Mulkey as one of the greatest women’s basketball coaches of all period. And, possibly, a title victory could result in Mulkey pursuing new opportunities.

But sports, especially women’s sports, is about more than wins and losses. Sport is a political institution communicating ideas of race, gender, sex and authority. And the messages consistently sent by Mulkey are problematic.

Why Mulkey was a true Lady Techster

To adequately realize and appreciate the problematic politics of Mulkey, it proves necessary to initiate with her playing career. The Tickfaw, Louisiana nat

Is Kim Mulkey a homophobe? Washington Publish article causes uproar after revealing personal secrets

When the Washington Post dropped an expose on the LSU Tigers' Kim Mulkey, many were expecting big things and the story did actually possess promise as she was suggested to have targeted a player after they came out as lesbian, but it might have been overhyped or perhaps, dubbed down.

The article was tipped to be a great reveal-all on the 61-year-old and Mulkey was clearly concerned as she reportedly hired an attorney, specialising in defamation law as she prepared to slap back at the publication.

However, Front Office Sports said they had contacted foremost attorneys in the United States and they all said they had not received any contact by the LSU boss concerning the then-unpublished story.

But the head coach was actually flattered in much of the article, as it expanded on the tough times she went through as a child with her father and as an upcoming coach with the Louisiana Tech and how she rose above those challenges to become a three-time national champion in the NCAA.

That has led to claims that the Post might include calmed the article down in what it said, or how it said it, in o
