You Play Like a Girl

You play like a girl. And I say thank you! Just as Cappie Pondexter demonstrates in this video, that means something different today. Of course we all know it's supposed to mean you play like a girl who isn't athletic at all, doesn't like sports, can't throw, is prissy missy, doesn't want to break a sweat or a nail. For guys, it's the ultimate insult. Calling out their manhood and skills all in the same breath. For women, those that play at least, it's still an insult, because we are girls, and some of us can really play, as demonstrated by Cappie Pondexter, Olympic Gold Medalist, WNBA Champion and current guard for the NY Liberty.

So when someone says you play like a girl, watch out which girl you say that to. You might find out, like Sebastian Telfair, of the Minnesota Timberwolves, you're struggling to guard, not a girl, but a grown *ss woman.
