Is This Teach Our Children Well?

What is the deal? When did girls become the new sports brawlers? Funny, soccer doesn't look like rugby to me...this conduct is so profoundly disturbing. What happened to good sportsman/sportswoman conduct? Is that what these coaches in our schools and in our local leagues are teaching boys and girls? How to behave like thugs???


Women's soccer player suspended for dirty play
November 6, 2009 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PROVO, Utah - New Mexico has suspended a soccer player for several plays in a Mountain West Conference semifinal that have drawn some unwanted attention to the tournament.

Elizabeth Lambert, a junior defender, is shown in video highlights throwing elbows, taking out BYU players at the legs and finally yanking BYU forward Kassidy Shumway to the ground with a tug to Shumway’s ponytail.

Lambert’s actions have made her an instant celebrity for the wrong reasons. Highlights have been airing nationally since Thursday night.

Hmmm, maybe we should be glad a coach didn't get elected in Radnor?
