After watching the video on Elizabeth Lambert's actions during the New Mexico versus BYU game I was very disappointed. It is actions like Lambert's that help women's sports receive a bad name. Women’s sports do not receive much attention as it is but when the attention that they do receive is negative it also does not help. All it will lead to is negativity to the sport, soon people will be think that women are too emotion to handle the stress of competitive or elite sport. Having played soccer for many years I know that it is a physical sport, however, it is certainly not as physical as the video shows. While Lambert’s actions are inexcusable, they should have never been allowed to escalate in the way they did. Where were the referees, coaches, or teammates? All of the fouls that were committed were very blatant. I was very happy to see that she has been indefinitely suspended from her team.
