The Dangerous World of Elizabeth Lambert – Video

Fairly or unfairly, women’s college soccer usually draws almost zero public attention. It is probably no exaggeration to say that most games produce more goals than news accounts.

But the sport has gained viral attention as the violent play of a University of New Mexico defender, Elizabeth Lambert, has become an ignominious sensation on television, the Internet and talk radio.

Lambert, 20, has been suspended indefinitely by New Mexico after she engaged in shoving, punching, tripping and yanking an opponent down by the ponytail last Thursday in a 1-0 loss to Brigham Young.

She did however apologized:

Lambert said she was “deeply and wholeheartedly regretful” for losing her self-control during the Mountain West Conference tournament semifinal match

    Elizabeth Lambert is a junior at the University of New Mexico, and plays for their soccer team the Lobos originally from California (too bad for California). So, this loser knows they are going in to a game that they will most likely lose and since they do not have the talent to score they resort to this kind of play, it has very minor thought to it than let’s say passisng the ball through your opponents defense and scoring a goal.

    The other issue is the where were the referees, were they all older white men with their tongues out, enamored and unable to call the game objectively (this game had so many penalties that did not get called), I mean what are they getting paid to do. Who has paid these guys off? Do we have to change the game where only women referees can call women games. After watching the video someone was paid off, that is my conclusion.

    And Lizzy, watch you back and please stay out of soccer (you real should be banned, the game does not need people like you in it), so many will be gunning for you now. Who knows maybe you were just drumming up business for your “Occupational Therapy practice”, yah good luck with that, I doubt your bed side manner is any different from your sportsmanship.
