    "[the] attractive 20-year-old blond displays some of the most violent behavior we've ever seen on any level of sports."

    Radar must not have seen the 2006 World Cup where Zidane (one of my fave players!) head-butted 2006 World Cup.

    I won't even itemize on Wayne Rooney! #elizabethlambert

    "O RLY? More violent than boxing? Or MMA? Or does it only seem violent and newsworthy because women are involved, and they're not acting like delicate princesses?"

    Yeah, rly. Pugilistic or MMA violence is of the expected variety: Both parties know it's coming.

    This violence was, in my mind, of a significantly higher order, involving true victimization.

    Or, as Whoopi would say, ...... #elizabethlambert

    As you may have guessed, the athletics department here at UNM is feeling a bit of heat. First our football coach punched an assistant coach. Then the football team managed to maintain a perfect record of 0-7. Now Ms. Lambert.

    This was a fabulous week for our president to announce a renewed commitment to athletics. #elizabethlambert

    @linnyt is a walking cliché: The refs during my high school soccer games were terrible at calling any of this stuff. They rarely ever called on the violence, which as my father pointed out on more than one occasion wasn't "aggressive play" it was assault. I still remember a game in which I spent most of the second half ( I was a goalie and rarely spent time playing the field) on the ground. I was pushed down, thrown down, yanked down, kicked, punched, etc. The refs didn't call a single one of them. I left that game bruised and battered. #elizabethlambert

    @EkaterinaBallerina: I my mind it's all related to sexism. Most refs refused to believe pretty girls are agressive and/or can be violent. It's one of the reasons I think we need more women referees. And why I ref. #elizabethlambert

    @EkaterinaBallerina: my worst attack was when a defender (bigger than me and quite muscular/strong) sat on my head on an astroturf field. 1. i was stuck under her and 2. the turf really hurt and scratched up my face pretty badly.
    I also got hit in the face, right in the nose, with someone's wrist cast once. that could have been an accident but why did they let her play? it was dangerous. #elizabethlambert

    @unionmaid: Wow good for you reffing. That's great and I totally agree.

    We also believed that the refs were so slow to act because of the school we were playing. I won't say the name, but it specialized in students with emotional problems. Students that were already aggressive, angry and violent. Which throw in competitive sports and it's a pretty ugly few hours. In the 4 years I had to play them, I saw some of the worst behavior I've ever seen and it was rarely called or punished. Of all games to up the whistle-blowing, this would have been the one. But alas, the refs spent the whole time looking bored off their brains. #elizabethlambert

    A lot of that was way over agressive play, but the ponytail pull was ridiculous and should have gotten her thrown out of the game (I don't have the sound on, so I don't know if she was, but they didn't show video of the red card). All of that shit would get you at least a 15 yard penalty in football, where despite all the hitting, they do not take that stuff lightly. #elizabethlambert

    This clip came on TV while I was at lunch with my (male) coworkers today and the comments ranged from:

    "Wow, this will get women's soccer more fans than ever!"

    and

    "All women's sports should be like this!!"

    My local morning news covered this (KTLA) and when they introduced the story, the anchor said, "I can't believe someone wrote this. 'We don't talk about women's soccer very often, so you know when we do, it's something big.' Why would someone write that?" Then they threw to a sports guy who said the fight probably started when one woman stole another's man and the anchor pleaded with them to stop being so sexist. They did the whole, "it's not sexist if it's a joke!" thing, then listed all the other recent incidents of male-on-male sports violence and announced that maybe women weren't that different after all.

    The anchor, by the way, is Michaela Pereira. And she is awesome. #elizabethlambert

    C'mon. I played soccer, and that's the worst I've seen. Do I think other girls act as badly? Yes, but probably not on camera. That ponytail takedown was brutal and WOULD definitely have made SportsCenter if it were a dude.
