Bridge Players in Yorba Linda can’t play at the Community Center.
The Yorba Linda Seniors Citizens Club decided to shut down the games while they investigate a claim of discrimination lodged by one of the players.
Supposedly when the lady who lodged the complaint arrived to play bridge on Dec. 6, one of the Community Center coordinators refused to sit near her at the table and told other players the game would be “disbanded” if the other players included her. She says it’s because she’s Jewish.
Ruth Vaillancourt, president of the Yorba Linda Senior Citizens Club, said the coordinator instead said those who wanted to play alongside the complainer could do so, and those who did not could play on the other side of the room. “It has nothing to do with her being Jewish. It’s about her foul mouth,” Vaillancourt said. “I’ve talked to her a couple of times, and she’s been abusive to me. Nobody wants to play bridge with her. What can we do? … We need to cancel bridge while we get this settled.”
Sounds to me like it’s just some bitchy old woman that couldn’t get her way so she files a bogus complaint to ruin the fun for everyone else.
