re: I wish I could see the Vandy players faces when ole girl gave them a speech at halftime

It wasn’t a big deal to me either until I saw we were still talking about this chick 3 days later and Vandy players are quitting over it

Title IX is a huge disadvantage to males because of the bread and butter football, but you’re telling me they have healthy male kickers now that would wipe the floor with her and she’s still the starter? frick off

she did exactly what the asked hee to do most likely so she wouldn't get hit. It's all not that big of a deal to me at all either way.

But you see this is why it’s such a big deal. She didn’t try out for team and beat out other players. She didn’t earn any of this. She gets a media given award for kicker of the week when she made one squib kick that was inconsequential to the game and did so so that she couldn’t get run over and hurt. Again that’s completely against the grain of what the intent of having her out there should be. If you’re truly trying to promote gender equality then she should have to abide by the same expectations as every other kicker. Make kickers don’t get to kick and run to sideline so they didn’t get hurt they’re the last line of defense. How many 160lb kickers have we seen have to stick their head in to slow a returner down. She can’t do that or at the very least wasn’t allowed the opportunity. This goes against the very idea that they were falsely trying to portray. It was a sham and either she doesn’t realize she was being used as a publicity stunt for a crappy football team OR she does is complicit and doesn’t care herself about true equality, she just wanted 15 minutes of fame. It sounds though after her post game interview that she is delusional at best. There was nothing about that performance that screamed hey girls you can play football too if you want. All that happened is she was given an opportunity no t earned over other players that had to work to earn their spot.
