By now you’ve all probably seen the video of Elizabeth Lambert, the University of New Mexico women’s soccer player who displayed some very aggressive and unsportsmanlike conduct during a match against Brigham Young.
If not, watch it here.
Let’s throw objective journalism out the window here because I want to have some fun with this.
First off, I will be very honest in my opinion that Elizabeth Lambert, from what I can see of her in the video, seems like a very attractive girl. That is a quality that can be found in many female soccer players and for that, the male species may thank the Lord.
Secondly, what she did was horribly disgraceful and flat out boorish, but you have to also see what the BYU players are dishing out to her. You see her take an elbow from a BYU player, then later on she gets grabbed in her lower regions (and subsequently pulls the girl to the ground by her hair).
Thirdly, I don’t know why I think this because I don’t condone violence in sports one bit, but holy cow, there is something oddly and wildly attractive about Lambert doing what she did. I can’t explain it and even if I could I’d be rather long winded, I’m sure.
I wonder what Elizabeth Lambert is up to now. We haven’t heard anything from her since she issued a statement of apology…no TV interviews, no radio phoners, nothing.
I guess my point to this post is to say that in an odd way, I support Elizabeth Lambert.
And if you ever read this, Ms. Lambert, just know that even though what you did was horrible, I liked it for some weird reason I can’t explain. Call me sometime…or just comment here, that works too.
Haha My friend, I’m not sure you could handle her…not if you pissed her off anyways!
Elizabeth Lambert is a junior at the University of New Mexico, and plays for their soccer team the Lobos originally from California (too bad for California). So, this loser knows they are going in to a game that they will most likely lose and since they do not have the talent to score they resort to this kind of play, it has very minor thought to it than let’s say passisng the ball through your opponents defense and scoring a goal.
The other issue is the where were the referees, were they all older white men with their tongues out, enamored and unable to call the game objectively (this game had so many penalties that did not get called), I mean what are they getting paid to do. Who has paid these guys off? Do we have to change the game where only women referees can call women games. After watching the video someone was paid off, that is my conclusion.
And Lizzy, watch you back and please stay out of soccer (you real should be banned, the game does not need people like you in it), so many will be gunning for you now. Who knows maybe you were just drumming up business for your “Occupational Therapy practice”, yah good luck with that, I doubt your bed side manner is any different from your sportsmanship.
