New sports uniforms level the playing field for Muslim girls

[Gil Dobie]

With a large population of Muslims in the Twin Cities, these uniforms were overdue.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Girls in stylish athletic wear walk the runway as the sounds of Taylor Swift and Katy Perry blare from speakers. The crowd claps and cheers as the young models strike poses with basketballs, lacrosse sticks and boxing gloves. Finally, the big reveal: the Lady Warriors community traveling basketball team takes the stage in their cardinal red uniforms.

Break out the electrolytes.

No.

Perpetuating a stupid custom does not help them.

Muslim girls should either dress appropriately or not play.

Or stay in Somalia to begin with.

Shows you how stupid our govt can be. Taking Somalian refugees and resettling them in ME & MN, the 2 coldest states in the lower 48. Be like taking Eskimos and resettling them in S AZ...

Why is that stupid? The cold weather keeps them from doing the same stupid shit they did in the motherland. They can't use the heat as an excuse for not doing anything anymore. Gotta keep moving to keep warm.

Where is your progressive devotion to multiculturalism?

[CID1990]

I love seeing liberal support for this kind of thing - supporting a religious custom that has its basis in the idea that women and the way they dress are completely to blame for rape, etc

Sometimes I think the progressives give Muslims a pass for no other reason than because conservatives are against it

Im just not scared by multiculturalism.

It's probably just me, but I find this WAAAAYYY hotter.

Women in burkas are like boxes of chocolate. You never know what you're going to get.

St Paul is getting pretty blended.

According to the 2006-2008 American Community Survey, the racial composition was as follows:

White: 66.7% (Non-Hispanic Whites: 61.6%, White Hispanics 5.1%)
Black or African American: 13.5%
American Indian or Alaska Native: 0.8%
Asian: 12.4%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander: 0.0%
Some other race: 2.9%
Two or more races: 3.7%
Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 8.9%

Minneapolis not too far behind.

As of the 2006-2008 American Community Survey, the racial composition was as follows:

White:70.2%
Black or African American: 17.4%
American Indian: 1.7%
Asian: 4.9%
Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander: 0.0%
Some other race: 2.8%
Two or more races: 3.0%
Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 9.2%

The trend I see in those numbers is whites, blacks and hispanics are fleeing before the Asians

They once wore these uniforms in Monatana, for women's basketball.

I think the bottom line is that they're anti Christian. I really do. That's what it comes down to. When it comes to any other religion they see as "discriminated against" they don't give a crap if the religion says stuff like stone homosexuals and don't let women drive. I think they honestly care more about whether or not some Christian couple is forced to bake a cake for a couple of lesbians than they do about ISIS burning people alive, etc.
