Pregnant Soldier Among Ft. Hood Victims • Unsportswomanlike Soccer Player Suspended |

I can't believe Elizabeth Lambert wasn't thrown off the field and out of the game sooner. Not necessarily for What she did, but for the officiating that must have turned huge blind eyes to the game at hand to miss such blatant fouls.
Players talk, ESPECIALLY women. And as a referee, you can tell the exaggerations from the truth. So what happened here?!?
Alright, I admit, at first I was scared the world was headed on a terror against girls who play hard. But that girl did Not head out on to the pitch against BYU without some prior hair-pulling, come-from-behind-tackling and cleating experience. Lambert knew exactly what she was doing, and she's only apologetic she got caught.
All she did was retaliate, and, sure, it was a little more than what the opponent dished out, but that's what retaliation's all about. Lambert was continually trying to get the upper hand, or even force her opponent into exacting her own vengeance, then get caught by the ref. Instead, she got caught. It's a risk you take, and it sucks for her.
So I suppose I'm actually a little sad for her that she got suspended, because those BYU girls weren't saints either, but how many of them will be suspended for their own unsporting behavior? #forthoodmassacre

If the Military Industrial Complex is such a dominant force in this country, why does it care so little for the human beings that carry out it's missions? #forthoodmassacre

breastfeeding is great if it works for the mother and baby, but it does not work for everyone, and that should not contribute to the giant everlasting guilt trip that is motherhood.

The hair pulling down to the ground? No excuse. It's not a play for the ball. It's the equivalent of cold-cocking someone which DID happen in Oregon and guess what? Suspended for the whole season.
It was absolutely unacceptable.
ETA: The Oregon situation I'm reference refers to the football team incident that began at the beginning of the season.

They realize we know that most cars come in many many colors right? Why would color be the most important factor? #forthoodmassacre

Her: I just bought a car!
Roomies (incl me): What kind?
Her: A red one!
(It was a Scion and her decision was affected by reliability, price, fuel efficiency and other reasonable considerations. But it was still funny.) #forthoodmassacre

Mr. Pietra wanted a black car. He hasn't lived in the desert before. I won. #forthoodmassacre

(Seriously, though? In my experience it's usually men who are more interested in how cool the car looks than in fuel efficiency and reliability.) #forthoodmassacre
