[deleted] For a month?
That's what I said!! She said the trainers haven't released her. I'm told to "keep quiet, she's an adult". 🙄
My fucking ass.
She called me during conditioning and said her knee was bothering her, they say it's tendonitis. I told her it's common, ibuprofen and ice, that's about all you can do. Then they also told her that her knee cap was misaligned or some shit. Same deal, it's common, mine was too. Well coach said she wasn't practicing up to her standards and Pay says because 2 days in a row hurts her. "Can hardly walk" is how she put it. She played the last minute of 1st game and zero, the 2nd. 3rd game, she plays the last 13 minutes, scores 4 points, 5 boards, 3 steals and 2 assts(iirc). 4th game she plays 9 minutes against a team they beat by 80. 1-2 from 3 a steal and a rebound, then came the concussion. 2 days after she was diagnosed with a concussion by their 2 team trainers(?), a senior told Payton that their coach is insinuating Payton is/was faking. I don't know what to do and Payton says she "hates the bitch" and I don't blame her. Says she feels like she did in highschool. Her HS coach was an idiot and a liar who had mass talent, throughout his career. I don't blame her. She was the top freshman last year, tied for 2nd leading scorer, lead in steals and 3pt percentage and 2nd in field goal percentage. Played 21+ minutes a game. She worked her ass off all summer, weights, shooting and held a job. I can't see any reason why she's not playing, if able. It's a disheartening fucking situation we're in, right now!!
