Rose Zhang & Teaira McCowan

[She Mate Me]

I know bringing up females doing sports things is generally frowned upon in these parts, but for those of you who don't know who the hell Rose Zhang is, she's an impressive girl golfer.

She very recently won her 2nd straight NCAA championship, then turned pro and immediately won her first LPGA event. Only the 2nd girl type person to ever do that. Now, this afternoon she is one stroke off the lead on the back 9 of her second LPGA event, the KPMG Women's PGA, a major for the little ladies. It's on NBC.

Oh, and Teaira McCowan is playing pro women's basketball for Dallas on ABC right now.

Cool, I'm assuming Rose recently graduated MSU?

thank god i read this i thought you were going to say they were lovers or got married.

 

[AstroDog]

Think Teaira already has her a woman spouse. Seems like I heard that somewhere not too long ago.

True?

She is a Turkish citizen now, so I just figured she is single or keeps her personal life really quiet if she is gay.

Disclaimers- no idea what her orientation is. No idea what turkey's stated policies or acted on policies are.

Of all the countries one could be a citizen of, Turkey is not on my list. That's a strange desire to become a Turkish citizen.

If she isn’t a USA citizen, then she should be really open about her sexuality. Bc only in the USA do lgbtqlahshkad get persecuted. We are a terrible country who treat minorities like slaves.

It's to be able to represent a country in international basketball. They can then play for the country if they have t played for the US as an adult, and they can count as a domestic player since many foreign leagues have a cap on the number of foreign players allowed per team.

Dee Boat is now Bulgarian, for example.

Turkey isn't one I would want to represent either.

I believe she holds dual citizenship, like most pro basketball players who gain citizenship in another country.

As for your post, that isn't something to use as an example of your best work on here. It seems mailed in.

It’s seems like sarcasm to me.

bc as a minority or lgbtq living in this country is the best option you have on planet earth as it pertains to human rights and the pursuit of happiness.

 

[She Mate Me]

Shocking that this turned into an LGBT........ discussion.***

Zhang faded a bit, but I've got a feeling she'll be a a future #1 in the world kinda player.

McCowan had 14 and 8 in a loss. Looks like she's been injured some this season and is just getting back to full strength.

Interesting that she's teammates with our nemesis from the 2018 championship, Ogunbowale.

I enjoy watching The Ladies every now and then. Now that I'm 60 I can learn more from them than watching the guys cuz if I attempted to swing like Rory I'd injure my groin and possibly other internal organs. They are amazingly accurate on those 160 yard approach shots. The biggest gaps separating themselves from The Men is driving distance and kinda surprisingly putting.

Yeah, I read it. And I provided proof that shows you're wrong.

good lord you might as well said the artic circle what a stretch.

 

[paindonthurt]

Yeah Iceland is a great place for minorities

 

[She Mate Me]

A simple post about a young lady who's really good at golf and a former Bulldog playing pro ball, and look what the 17 some of you idiots turn it into. Jesus...

Don’t talk bad about ‘Merica! Them’s fightin’ words!!!

I don't think you want to compare racism in Iceland with racism in America. That discussion is not going to go well for you.

It’s hard to be racist when everyone is white right?

If only there were places we could read about the experiences of people of color living in or visiting Iceland. Where they might talk about how people might stare at them or make inadvertently rude comments about their hair but how they feel much safer in Iceland than they do in the U.S.

Maybe because they're in Iceland, not West Jackson?

See what you made me do. This was a sports post.

Yes, that was exactly my point. Iceland and other countries are better for LGBTQ+ people than the U.S. And people of color often feel safer in places like Iceland than they do in the U.S.

A little wisdom will come for you with age, hopefully.

What don’t I understand? The initial claim was that the LGBTQ+ community and minorities were better off in the US than anywhere else in the world in terms of human rights. I provided info that showed, for at least the LGBTQ+ community, that isn’t true. Please feel free to share some info that refutes that.

I actually feel very free to not get into any debates with you because it's completely pointless.

But I do genuinely wish you well and hope you get out of whatever bubble you're in that doesn't allow you to see the world as clearly as you should.

I think anyone feels safer in Iceland than West Jackson.
