The video, "training rules" was about how the Penn State women's basketball coach, Rene Portland was an anti-lesbian women who did not want any lesbians in her team. If the basketball girls were lesbians or even caught talking to lesbians, they would be out the team. Jennifer Harris was one of the top scorers in the team but was released from the team because Portland thought that she was a lesbian. Rene Portland should of been fired from the school during this time. She even had a a policy that mentioned NO LESBIANS in the team and no major authority did anything about it. She might have been one of the best coache's of the time but that shouldn't mean she gets special privileges and should definitely not allow her to get away with certain things.
Rene Portland discriminated against lesbians and some of the players had to lie about their sexual orientation just to stay in the team and not get their scholarship taken away. In the video, one of the players lied about having a boyfriend when in reality she was a lesbian. The basketball players avoided any lesbian activity because they did not want to get kicked out of the team. Portland was intimadating to the players and I'm pretty sure some of them are still psychologically hurt. School authorities need to step up and act against such behaviors like this.
