Morning Brew – Thurs. March 7: Santana in New York, Sara Gilbert returns to acting

Good morning!

Sara Gilbert will return to acting in the new Bad Teacher pilot for CBS. The comedy is based on the film starring Cameron Diaz but Ari Graynor will play the lead role (love her!!!) and Sara will play “Irene, a shy, introverted drama and English teacher who, when activated, can be a bit intense.” If the show is picked up, she’ll still host The Talk, too. Phew!

The Nigerian women’s soccer team has put a ban on lesbians from their team, but FIFA is not having it. The organization “has written to the Nigerian FA for clarification of reports that lesbians have been banned from the game in the west African country.” Just recently Dilichukwu Onyedinma, chair of the Nigeria Women Football League and a member of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) executive committee, announced they won’t allow gay women to play, saying:

Any player that we find is associated with it [lesbianism] will be disqualified. We will call the club chairmen to control their players and such players will not be able to play for the national team. It is happening but we have to talk to the clubs and look inside the clubs, and these things have to do with clubs.There are particular clubs that don’t even want to hear about it and once they heard it the players involved will be sacked.

Get a grip, woman! If the soccer player is the best one you have and she is less than straight you’re going to kick her off the team? Good luck on a winning season!

If you’re looking to meet other queer women of color, try OurSistaCircle. If you meet any Nigerian soccer players, tell them we love our gay players in the U.S.
