Female ref banned from boys’ game
Old time religion
Just minutes before she was scheduled to referee a boy’s varsity basketball game at St. Mary’s Academy, Michelle Campbell was told she would not be allowed to work the game because she is a woman.
“When I put that shirt on, I don’t see a gender. I’m an official,” she told “Good Morning America” today in a live interview from Kansas…
“I’m just an official out there to enforce the rules of the game. … My responsibility is to make all the right calls and so that the athletes have a great game,” she said…
Campbell says that if the school changes its rules she would be happy to officiate at St. Mary’s.
Let’s hear it - one more time: “gimme that old time religion, gimme that old time religion”…
