City tennis league sued by disgruntled player
A North Carolina woman is suing the city of Raleigh because no men will play tennis with her. Nancy Griffin, 41, says she was so routinely beating male opponents in the city-sponsored tennis league that the city scrapped a rule that penalized players for declining matches. Griffin wants $10,000 for her emotional distress, caused by hearing her opponents make excuses. “One said he had a jealous wife and he couldn’t play females,” says Griffin.
