Jana Jacobson told The Commercial Appeal officials at Bellevue Baptist Church told her she had a "deviant" lifestyle and her team would not be allowed to compete. Jacobson said her team is made up of straight and gay players. They were looking for more games to play when they discovered the Cordova church had a league. Jacobson said she registered, paid the entry fee and attended an organizational meeting. Later, a church official called her seeking another meeting. At that one, officials began questioning whether she was gay. When she said she was, they told her the team could not play. Bellevue spokesman Jim Barnwell said the church had no comment on the incident. Copyright 2010 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
