Don't know who she is? Well, take a look:

If there were an award for Worst Display Of Sportsmanship, she wouldn't be nominated, because she's basically a bitch. I've seen "dirty plays", and close calls, but what she did was downright awful, and I'm glad she's indefinitely suspended.

Her actions make incidents like Pete Rose's slide look like a pat on the back. At least he was trying to win, not avoiding a loss.

Holy god, that is terrible. How in the world did she not manage to get sent off after more than one of those tackles? Must be pretty poor stuff by the reff as well.

But a display like that in any sport is a disgrace thats for sure. It is good to see that the powers that be have stepped in and given her a suspension. She deserves it.

How in the world did she not manage to get sent off after more than one of those tackles?

She was suspended for the hair pull takedown, and no one noticed the other stuff until the team was reviewing the tape. The takedowns on their own can just be called dirty plays, and trying to compete a little too hard. The hair pull and the forearm to the other girl's back are pretty nasty, as was the knee to the one girl's ribs, and the kick to the one player's shins. (Yeah, watch the vid, it's all there) I'm assuming they intended to suspend her for the season, and realized it was worse than originally thought. I'm wondering what else she has done in the past at other games...

 

[Hip2bsquare]

I can partially understand if a couple of the things behing play like the punch to the back and the hair takedown are missed by the main reff, I mean he cant watch the play and noticed everyone else on the field. But I thought that was what the other officials would be for.

However are couple of those tackles are horrendous and most likely deserve a red card. How the reff didnt card her is anyones guess.

Yeah would be interesting to see if this is a one off or if it is something that remians constant thru the games she has played. One thing is for sure, that she should be watched very closely when she gets back from her suspension. Would be very surprised to see her getting away with anything again.

I'm not a huge soccer fan, so to me, the tackles just look like rough play, but not anything intentionally dirty. This is separating them from the actual physical attacks though. Included with all of that, you can tell she was aiming to hurt people. The punch and hair pull are the worst to me, and the hair pull is what got her suspended for the season, if not the rest of her college career. She has this season, and next year left for eligibility.

 

[Hip2bsquare]

Yeah the punch and the hair pull are probably the worst for me as well. They are just blatant cheap shots which are always uncalled for.

Im a little bit of a soccer fan. To me she deserved to be carded for those tackles, but if one of the bigger football fans like Lee disagree then I would give in to them. However they could be forgiven for her 'trying; to play the ball and just putting in some horrendous tackles. Even the fairest players will make bad tackles in their careers so they can be forgiven.

I'd agree if it were one or two. But it was about 5, just in that short clip, and there's all the rest surrounding it. On the one tackle though, she purposely held the person down, and kneed them in the ribs before kicking them again. That can't be excused as a "bad" play.

It's probably in her best interest to not play again on the collegiate level, because even if she abides by the rules, the smallest incident is going to result in her getting a card, and possibly getting suspended again.

I'm sure she'll transfer out after this season, and play for a different school next year.

That hair pull is completely horrible, I've come across it in rugby a few times and have always hated it. In football it definitely shouldn't happen, that was awful and for the amount of shit she did then she shouldn't be allowed to play again. People like her are just complete scum and bring the game into shame.

 

[HEEL Blazy]

I don't see the problem here.

I found out about this cause of Leno cause tbh I don't care for soccer. I mean yeah she was a bitch but hell I think this could drive up the ratings. Heck if they let her play I'd watch just to see if she beat the heck out of someone again and I'm sure a few more people would watch. I say turn soccer in to a version of hockey where fights are pretty much a given and all you get is a few mins or so in a box watching the game.

Fights = Ratings.

Really when has soccer been in the news for something not boring lol.

 

[HBK-aholic]

Sport should NOT be about 'ratings', and football doesn't need them increasing, anyway. How you don't see the problem is beyond me, she's bringing a great sport into disrepute, and acting like a complete cow. People play the game for their love of the sport, and shouldn't have to expect being beaten and fouled to the extent she does purposely. She should be banned for the game forever, how she acted it awful.

I don't know if you noticed or not, but there's a little tournament coming up...The World Cup. It's kind of a big deal. It's all over the sports networks.

What she did can not be condoned in any way, and even she came out and apologized, and said she shouldn't be allowed to step onto a field (pitch) again. It was disgraceful...I think Becca said it best. She acted like a cow.

 

[HEEL Blazy]

I said it was a bitch move. I for one don't find soccer entertaining. This is about the first soccer clip I've watched in well ever because it to me is kinda cool.

Heck maybe they should make an xtreme soccer league for people like her and stuff.

I'd watch cause I love watching chicks throw down...

yeah...I find it awesome.

 

[NSL]

Heck maybe they should make an xtreme soccer league for people like her and stuff.

I'm pretty sure they call it "rugby". There's no place in soccer for that kind of play, and it's been that way for hundreds of years. There's no reason to try and attract a niche audience now.

She's not going to play again while she's in college, and I'd doubt she gets a shot at playing on any "pro" or semi-pro teams once she graduates. This is also going to reflect badly on her in every aspect of her life. She might as well kiss a "normal" life goodbye.

 

[HEEL Blazy]

Ahhh then I might have to check out this here rugby.

Someone there should sign up cause I mean she's a pretty tough chick it seems like.

Let her guest host Raw

Like I said yeah a bitch move but then again if this was in a guy soccer game it wouldn't be as big of a story really. The fact it was a girl is why its such a huge story.

Only beef I have is it was against BYU and that is one awesome collage(idk sports wise but like yeah...)
