The Pearl Courts

If I could give this place less stars– I would. Came here for Rec basketball this evening. There was a game finishing up, had about 5 minutes left. A few of the girls on the team were dribbling and shooting carefully on the side. Not disrupting the current game whatsoever. All of the sudden, this guy comes up to one of the girls and rudely asks her to stop dribbling on the side while there is a game going on. She said ok. No problem. He continued to humiliate her telling her it was rude and disrespectful of her to be doing that. Yelling very loudly, despite the fact she had already agreed politely to stop. He got in the middle of the court and continued to point his finger at her, telling her the current game had 2 more minutes left. (It in fact, did not. It was 730 by this time which was the start time of our game) he then told all the woman to leave. He was screaming at us to get out. A few of the ladies had small children (under the age of 7) present. It was completely uncalled for. Utterly humiliating. We all had to leave the court and file into the hallway even though it was now 3 minutes past our game time. As we walked past the guys who had just finished playing, they asked us not to make him upset and to just go out there. Not one of those guys said anything to him about the way he was treating us because apparently, this guy was the owner. (Not known to us until this point). As we all we piled up in the hallway and one by one the guys from the last game were headed out the door they apologized for the guy, agreeing that he was nuts, crazy, «off his meds.» We were told to come back in and not speak. We did. Our game didn’t get started until 745. I’m completely outraged on so many levels. I had an all around disgusting time and will NEVER play or come ever again. I will also do whatever I can to spread this story around and let everyone know the sexist, disrespectful treatment we received here. I’m in fact typing this while we’re finishing up our game and I’m trying to be as quiet as possible since women aren’t allowed to express an opinion or even talk. Shame on you!
