Or sexism, or anti-gay, or whatever, just look at the other University that got hit a heck of a lot harder. Just find some way to make yourself a victim. Works for just about anyone except white men.

White men can be gay, disabled and they generally eventually age to over 40. Heck, you can make a case for discrimination if you are straight and are perceived to be gay. They could also be in a protected class due to a religion they practice.
Creative, I guess I just don't try to find ways to think of myself as a victim and certainly not to bring lawsuits against people.
So now that this is over will we retire Moody's jersey?
I would take $35,000 tomorrow happily enough.
She got $35,000 but also a big old hiring black mark when she goes to change jobs, interview etc. Why the hell would you want to hire some one who wants to sue if something doesn't go their way. Things went her way at ISU way to much and she still sued. She got 35k but it's too bad the didn't run it thru trial so she would have had to pay her lawyers out of her own pocket, unless they took it straight commission on a win. Oh well at least it's over. (probably)
No, but not because of this... it wasn't going to happen anyways. She was a good player, but not retire the jersey good.
No idea, but it sure isn't sitting on the pile of cash she wanted from ISU.
I don't either. But to characterize discrimination as something that doesn't protect/get abused by- depending on the merits of the case - white men is just wrong.
She was paid $60,000 to just go away. Her playing stats are facts that t will remain in the media guide and record books, but she will never have her jersey hung or even get nominated for the Cyclone Hall of Fame.
Nor am I. Discrimination laws and regulations have a purpose, but they are overplayed because its just to easy to use as a means of revenge. Plus it helps attorneys support their lifestyles.
Some discrimination lawsuits have merit. Some don't.
Lol. For better or worse, Moody's career here was more than just "stats."
1. She was a 4-year starter
2. She is the all-time assists leader at Iowa State, which could be called "point guard U"
3. She was honorable mention all-American her senior year
4. We won lots of games due in large part to Moody's impact both offensively and defensively
