In the film "Training Rules" showed how there is injustice that happens in the world due to sexual orientation. The person that committed this discrimination was Rene Portland. She as a Basketball coach might have been respected by Penn State for winning some games. However, she also took away many women basket player's rights to play the sport they love just because they were lesbian. The women who were discriminated against didn't just lose their scholarship but their love of the sport and of life. I never really realized how gay individuals get discriminated against in such a manner. It's unbelievable that schools still do such things in the athletic departments. This type of discrimination happens every day; however, people never really find out. In this case, Penn State/Rene Portland did get caught with violating the rights of many female basket players. This comes to show us as a society that we still need a lot of improvement; to accept people for who they are and not for what race are they or sexual orientation one has.
