The article didn't say she made fun of female Wasilla HS basketball players. The article said she took a shot at female basketball players.
Couric's exact words were: "You can be feminine and still play basketball, right Jerry?"
People can judge for themselves what was going on between Couric and "Jerry" with that remark.
"I'm glad you took out the feminine side because you can be feminine and play basketball, right Jerry?"
Even worse IMO, she's mocking female athletes.
