Do you think Emily deserved that 1st place trophy?


High School Golfer, Emily Nash, a Junior at Lununburg High School in Massachusetts should have been at the winner's podium collecting a trophy she rightfully won...but instead all she got was a pat on the back as she was DENIED victory..because she's a GIRL!!

She was the only girl on her team who beat her follow male competitors by 4 shots but Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association rules prohibit her from claiming the CMass D3 title..

A specific yet convoluted sporting rule states that "girls playing on a falls boys" team cannot be entered in the Balls Fall Individual Tournament. They can onl play in the Boys Team Tournament. If qualified, they can play in the Spring Girls Sectional and State Championships"

Emily won the Central Mass. Division 3 Boys' golf tournament at Blissful meadows on Tuesday with 3 over par and came in 4 shots better than runner up Nico Ciolino of the Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School.

Since she didn't get 1st place, she won't get an invitation to next week's tournament either because a girl competing in the tournament is againt the rules.

Robert Dufresne, a volunteer rules official said "It's a real injustice that she wasn't announced as a winner.". David Kocur, a Blissful Meadows Pro Shop Manager said "It was complete garbage. She played the same tees, played under the same conditions and everything"

Her score did count toward the team total but was not enough to qualify for statement tournament.

She was aware of the rules and played in the tournament anyway.

Nico, in a sportsmanship gesture offered his trophy to her but she declined it.

David said that Nico felt so bad that he actually tried and BEGGED Emily to accept it..and althugh she didn't because she was too disappointed, she appreciated the offer.

Do you think Emily deserved that trophy? let's see what people think.

Emily and the boys she beat -

That's dumb. Why are they allowed to compete but not win? Either not let them compete in a boys league or allow them to win if they do in fact win.

Team games get team scores, she can't score in individual men's league and she can't be 1/1 of the women's league.

This is the equivalent of actually winning, and then giving the prize to a less talented player...

Now women know what men feel like :pppp

Pretty much. If you know what you're getting into it, don't cry about it afterward.

trophies are nice, but she knows she won. they know she won. normally i'd say it was BS, and the rules are kind of BS but she knew them beforehand.

The kind of BS people only care about if it comes up. A wrong rule needs to be challenged before people are aware of it.

This is wrong on principle, but I have a hard time mustering outrage over golf since I think golf is a total waste of resources and land.
