Australian girl banned from tennis club for grunting

Post by PurpleMustReign »

WTF is this Tennis Club's problem? If the girl wants to grunt, scream, or fart when she hits the ball, what do they care? Stupid people making decisions just because they have nothing else to do, I guess. Like I said, who cares? If people complain, tell them to go to a different club. What's next, no talking on the basketball court?

A 9-year-old Australian girl has been banned from playing tennis at her local club over the noise she makes while competing.

The Herald Sun of Melbourne, Australia, reported that Lauryn Edwards was told last weekend that she could no longer play after an opposing player complained about her grunting.

It's a private club, perhaps there were so many complaints that they decided it was better to kick her out then tell other members to leave.

Now that's a strategy. Farting whenever you hit the ball. The other players would soon be doubled over in laughter, and the farter (or is it "fartist") would win every rally.
