A former Penn State women's basketball star Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit against coach Rene Portland, charging her with violating numerous federal and state laws and the Constitution.

Jennifer Harris, a 6 foot guard played on Penn State's Lady Lions basketball team from 2003 to 2005.

Harris alleges that Portland repeatedly questioned her about her sexual orientation, repeatedly threatened to kick Harris off the team if she found out Harris was a lesbian, and eventually told other players not to associate with Harris because she believed that Harris was gay.

In 2005, Coach Portland abruptly told Harris to find somewhere else to play. Harris transferred to James Madison University.


hope they nail her to the wall on this

1. If I were a betting woman...

I'd put money down that Portland herself is a lesbian.

It's the closet cases who are always the meanest in their treatment of other gays.

2. I don't think she is

but to play pop psychologist, I think she has tendencies and she's done her best to fight them all her life and that's why she's so homophobic

or she's just plain evil

3. i have found that to be true, too. the ones hollering slurs ...

....the loudest go home to bed with fantasies of...., well, for example, I wonder if this coach has a special fondness for, say, Pam Grier. Whcih I find understandable but .... you catch my drift here. I'll shut up now.

Just when JoePa gets Coach of the Year, Renee has to act like a bigoted throw-back to 1950.
Way to tarnish your rep AND PSU, Coach.
