I truly have not seen much of her game type videos or anything like that, but she really doesn't appear in the video in this thread to really have 'hops' so to speak. Yes, very tall, but not extremely skilled. I realize when you're that tall and growing that fast as a teenager though that it's a bit difficult to be incredibly coordinated.
Nope, they don't do "gender testing":
"Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviour, activities and attributes that a particular society considers appropriate for men and women"
http://www.who.int/topics/gender/en/
Griner's appearance (anatomy) and voice seem suggestive of some sexual ambiguity, but the possibility that she might be intersex is unclear. There is a huge range of potential trajectories for humans as they develop in fetu and even in pre-pubescence onward. She may have simply developed significantly further along the spectrum than a majority of women. It's hard to say for sure without proper medical testing, but I'm not necessarily advocating that, either.
So you are advocating that (he/she) it should have an unfair advantage over all of the other players? Clearly he is a danger to other players on the court, as the recent brawl would suggest, that is a lot of testosterone to be out there on the court with the other girls. His scholarship should be revoked because it was obtained on false pretenses, this a scholarship that was taken away from another student, and it's a grave injustice to the school and the NCAA.

Oh and btw, it should be suspended for the rest of this season as well as the post season.
I think the media threw Griner under the bus for the sake of publicity. If you watch the video, you can see Tech's Jordan Barncastle thrash Griner to the side. Barncastle claims that "she got her arms locked with Griner's and was trying to free herself from Griner's grasp." That is f u c k i n g bullshit. That ugly ogre from Tech is just as guilty as Griner. Griner was just evening the score between them.
But I agree with previous posters, Griner might very well have ambiguous genitalia, just like Caster. Griner isn't full blooded black, she has clear, distinctive white features (like Hallie Barry) that I think with a little work on increasing her femininity, she could actually be quite attractive.
Caster on the other hand, she is a loss cause, she is unattractive for a man or a woman... I mean who would want to f u c k that ?
f u c k i n gross
Seriously? You have nothing better to say? She is truly an amazing athlete. Let's throw every female under the bus that is more athletic than the average guy. Better check the whole UCONN team then, they would probably school you in basektball. What, you have to be an attractice female to be allowed to be tall otherwise you are a male? Great logic. Grow up. Our society is so biased. A male athlete punches someone, part of the game. A female, oh she's a danger to the other players....smart.
So you're a fan of the Crying Game, eh? Whatever man, different strokes for different folks. He/She has every right to live and play hoops, just not on NCAA women's squad where he/she is taking up a roster spot AND someone else's scholarship.

and btw, he/she could definitely not school me in hoops, I've got killer quickness and a sick crossover.

Johnny Weir's "appearance ... seem(s) suggestive of some sexual ambiguity" too but I haven't heard of any calls for testing him.

How many runners are 6' / 120 lbs? Chris Fox and Alan Culpepper were close ... even Pat Porter was 6'/135.
Most of the best in America and Europe are close to 5'10" / 140 plus or minus a few inches and lbs. Most of the rest of the world are shorter.

They leave it to all you male college students. Do your best now and let us know.

More likely you're a sick cross-dresser.
We'll believe your basketball skills when we see them. I bet you run 3:56 also.

WOW...I can't believe this thread today!. I was thinking the same thing. In fact, Brittney Griner has a startling resemblance to the character in the Crying Game. I posted a link below (you have to scroll down) And a link to a picture of Griner.

What does my mile PR have to do with this thread? Why are defending Griner? Were you born with both parts too?

I'd hit that
I was wondering if and when he/she/it represents the US in the next Olympics if South Africa, still very bitter over Caster's treatment, raises a stink about Brittney and demands sex/gender/whatever testing on her.
I just read that she got two of her teamates pregnant. That is pretty strong evidence that she is a he.
