LaVar Ball Loses Mind, Pulls AAU Team From Playoff Game After Getting Tech
Share this: LaVar Ball clearly was not happy with the officiating Saturday at his AAU team’s Double Pump Best of Summer Tournament in California. Ball coaches the Big Ballers, an AAU team that features his youngest son, LaMelo Ball, and they were playing the Clutch Players Navy in a playoff game when a referee made a foul call that Ball didn’t like. At first, Ball simply told the ref, “That’s not a foul, that’s not a foul,” but he continued to voice his displeasure by swearing. His language earned him a technical foul, after which he proceeded to pull the Big Ballers from a game they were winning 69-60 and walk off the court. The Clutch Players Navy won by forfeit.

Hernandez, an eight-year-old Nebraska girl, and her teammates were disqualified from a soccer tournament Sunday because she “looks like a boy,” her father Gerardo Hernandez told Omaha, Neb., television station WOWT. Hours before Hernandez and the Azzuri Cachorros girls club team were due to compete in the Springfield, Neb., Soccer Club girls tournament, someone complained about a boy on their all-girls U-11 team. A registrar’s error which listed Hernandez as a boy convinced organizers her team had broken the rules, even though her father showed them her health insurance card as proof of her gender. Hernandez now has paid a heavy price for keeping her hair short. “When my hair starts to
