The fact that women want to play football is not the issue. The fact that they want to play on a men’s team is not the issue. What really is messed up about the whole things was the publicity stunt aspect of it. In warm ups Sarah was kicking from the 3 yard line. Yes the “3”. Literally not a kick anyone can make in a game. She put the ball on the extra point line and was kicking it. The problem is no coach or player bothered to tell her that was not the right place to kick from. Yes it was a publicity stunt for a team that cant win and a coach that knew he needed good press. The other issue with Sarah was when she was interviewed she never once mentioned the team. When was the last time a football player stood in front of a camera and said “I was glad I was able to do that” Not one mention of the other 10 people on the field. Quite possibly because she didn’t have to go through 2 a day practices in the heat of summer getting hit and beat down by your fellow team mates who help you pull through the grind of those practices. Not one mention of how they all had to work together to make that happen. So please forgive me if i don’t stand up and cheer for someone that wasnt there for the team but only so she could kick on a football team. AND what kicker kicks the ball and runs off the field? When do you ever see a kicker try to tackle the ball carrier? I saw it last week on another game. Not from a kicker than kicks and runs off the field. They all have a place to play and go to when the ball is kicked. Unless its a publicity stunt. Put the best person out there who can kick a ball the farthest.
