Baseball lawsuit


Young girl sues to play on boys' team

An Indiana team’s family is throwing the state and Athletic Association a coed ball, 14-year-old Logen Yang wants to try out for the boys' baseball team without any preconditions, a state rule says she can't, so her parents filed a lawsuit.
It says that you can not play with those comfortable sports for girls and then, and that we considered baseball was sort of our comfortable sports.

Bloomington South high school’s excutive director said the lawsuit is unnecessary.

There is a waiver that you can ask for to go over this rule and be able to play baseball which they have done, that was saying in the past.

The term’s attorney says the rule violated Logen's right to equal protection under the 14th amendment, and the title 9 law governing general equality in sports.

The fact is that if a boy wants to try out for baseball he doesn't have to apply for a waiver, he just goes to the try out whereas they are making girls apply for waivers.

This school supports Logen's desire to play baseball, and it is filing a wavier for her, Logen's parents want the rule through out the field, Dana Hills / Associated Press .

参考中文翻译:

一个印第安那家庭向当地州政府和运动协会扔了一个混合球,14岁的女孩Logen Yang希望在没有任何先决条件的情况下加入男子棒球队,遭到州政府的拒绝,这个女孩的父母提起法律诉讼。

该规定说,女孩不能玩那些舒服的运动,我们认为棒球是让我们舒服的运动。

Bloomington南部高中的执行主任说,法律诉讼是不必要的。

你可以申请wavier就可以避免这个规定,就能偶和他们一样打棒球,这是过去所说的规定。

律师说,该规定侵犯了Logen的权利,违反了14号修正案中平等保护的规定,同时违反了运动中普遍平等的第九条的规定。

事实上,如果一个男孩想打棒球,他不需要申请wavier,他们可以直接到女孩们申请wavier的地方。

学校支持Logen想打棒球的想法,现在正在帮她申请wavier,Logen的父母希望该规定能够贯穿比赛始终。
