Sarah Fuller had a message for everyone after making college football history at Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt K Sarah Fuller — a goalkeeper from the women’s soccer team brought over for Saturday’s game against Mizzou — made history, becoming the first woman to appear in a Power 5 game.
No, the Commodores didn’t have a good day, losing 41-0 to the Tigers, but Fuller still made history, handling the opening kickoff of the second half. She executed a solid squib kick, though Mizzou still fell on the ball to make sure it retained possession.
After the game, Fuller was interviewed by the SEC Network crew. She sent a message of hope to girls (and everyone else) everywhere:

“I just want to tell all the girls out there that you can do anything you set your mind to,” she said during the interview.
Will she play again for the Commodores next week against Georgia? Coach Derek Mason said that will be up to her:
Will Sarah kick in the next game? Mason said. "That’s really of her choosing. If she wants to kicks and she’s available we’d love to have her."

We’ll see if she gets more time on the field in that game, should she choose to play.
I hope she does decide to kick. Please please can vandy have some semblance of offense so we can see her kick a field goal!
Play as a LB or RB next week, if not stop with this virtue signaling PC nonsense. So stunning and brave.
If they’re good enough let ’em play.
You can always tell when a conservative snowflake gets triggered when they start throwing out all the buzzwords they learned while watching their favorite ultra-right wing brain-drain media personalities.
How’s your Mom? Tell her I still love her.
No, moron, we’re just stating facts. I thought liberals were supposedly such staunch believers in science, yet you ignore the incredibly obvious limitations of human physiology. But, why am I surprised to see a liberal equating what, by objective standards, was a failure? To you, you can be absolutely terrible at something but as long as you’re either a woman or a minority, you get accolades for being a civil rights hero, especially if you can claim you were the “first [woman/minority group]” to do something. I don’t even know why this has become another one your causes anyway. As per usual, your misguided civil rights crusade aims to ignore gender differences when convenient. Would you feel the same way if Lebron James suited up in an LA Sparks uniform and scored 100 points a night using a mini ball and a high school 3PT line? He’d be the first man, so sounds like a trailblazer. Ironically, you liberals are too intellectually challenged to realize the hole you’ve dug. Unfortunately for you, the law doesn’t really see your double standards the same way. Now that gender is a “fluid concept,” legally speaking, going to pretty hard to maintain gender as a protected class when you can’t define specifically who makes up said class.
This diatribe is comical. A girl kicked a football and you’ve launched into an idiotic rant about human biology.
Listen up, son. I’ve got a degree in Anthropology and a minor in biology and anatomy. There’s nothing in a females genetics that disqualifies them from kicking footballs.
Yes, men are generally more powerful than woman, which is why it’s remarkable when a woman competes in mens sports and not vice versa. That’s why this story is interesting and groundbreaking. Nothing you ranted about is even relevant.
Go hide in your bunker with Mike pence, I’d hate for either of you to accidentally associate with any of those awful females.
RE: TigerTD
You must have been a poor biology student. You should have learned that male puberty generates a great number of superior athletic traits, including the musculature of the legs and the core used in the motion. This is why women are disqualified from elite sports because they lack the physical characteristics required to compete at that level.
Wow..you sure exposed yourself. And for the record, a snowflake has to do with left wingers like you who watch too much MSNBC then turn to CNN for the “other” viewpoint.
Officiated a HS game 8-9 years and a small Christian school had a girl as an offensive guard. She didn’t back down or shy away from contact and the defense did not treat her like a girl. She hung in there as well as she could but she was only good for about two seconds before the defender got thru her. Played some on defense also.
Once a woman will actually do a real football practice and tackling drills, they will quit. Happens all the the time. Their tough until they get popped a few times. Kicking will be the extent of women in football.
I bet she’d kick your ass
Didn’t say anything about her specifically. Glad she was able to experience it. Some people are afraid to hear the truth that it kicking will be it for women in football.
Well, we know she‘d kick yours. I imagine you have to be pretty weak from your last hunger strike.
I bet anyone could kick your ass little man/woman.
Oooooh, good one! So witty! Totally burned me!
Probably not. She has the musculature of a prepubescent boy. A quick grapple and its all over.
So what. She is apparently as good as any of your male kickers. How much tackling practice do your male kickers have? If she was your daughter you would proud as hell of her. I hope.
Misogyny is a mental disorder. You should have that looked at by a professional.
Now human physiological differences are misogynistic. God, you’re an idiot.
Can politics change biology? Would you really want it to change biology?
Gotta love all the social justice warriors on this site. Glad she broke history and glad she has more SEC championships than anyone playing football today except for Bama. Too bad Vandy couldn’t score to let her kick an extra point. If a woman is good enough to kick, let her kick. But if she wants to play any other position, that’s a different ballgame.
“Glad she broke history”
do you suppose outside of covfefe there will be many more “girl players” in football, and if not why not?
I like the girl a whole lot more than the idiot media trying to turn her into the hero that she clearly is not.
Thought it was great and her message was spot on. It would have been nice if she had thanked the University & coaching staff for the opportunity.
She did complement the coaching staff later on, and I kind of wish she had booted it deep instead of, well what she did, at least half the skill players on the team could have done that.
Her behavior is pretty exemplary, it’s the media dbags claiming some historic barrier has been broken that are the problem, they are all so hoping to be part of history, like the leeches they are.
What if that wasn’t supposed to be a squib kick?
