Re: Gender discrimination

Could be. IF you are a soccer player in that class, you can assume it referred to you. If it is a one-time occurrance, report it to administration in the form of a complaint of discrimination and demand appropriate remedy. If it is common, then it could be grounds for a legal action. If interested, contact me to discuss potential for action.

First, it's untrue, and potentially slanderous. Second, it is an inappropriate comment, even if not harassing, that one can bring to the attention of the administrator.
