There’s a Fine Line Between Assertive and Really Effing Scary

November 6, 2009 - 5:00 pm By Hillary - Columbia

It’s 2009. Who doesn’t support a strong woman, am I right? Whether you want to assert yourself by wearing jeggings or teaching your guy how best to push your buttons, we’re behind you a hundred percent. Especially if you’re old and fragile.

But Elizabeth Lambert, a junior at the University of New Mexico and a defender on their women’s soccer team, takes assertiveness to a whole new level. Lambert was caught on tape acting like a big scary ogre  toward other players during a New Mexico/BYU game. Strength is one thing, but this chick is ridiculous.

If there’s anyone at University of New Mexico reading this right now, we sincerely hope that you never accidentally cut in front of this girl in the cafeteria. Or step on her foot at the bar. Best case scenario: a giant bald spot where your loose bun once perched. Worst case: well, we can only hope some big, burly bouncer guy has your back.

    What is wrong with that girl?? Thats completely unsportsmanlike. She should be kicked off the team for repeatedly doing stuff like that.

    Normally I’d be way happy that about BYU getting pushed around. (Utah resident, non-LDS) But that girl definitely went over the line, sad thing is I bet she has been getting away with that for years. If I was on that BYU team I would have been ejected from the field, because I would have knocked her out.

    Wow. The coaching staff didn’t even pull her out of the game.

    Watching this really brings back memories. Sadly, there are a lot of girls who play dirty on the field, I should know, I can no longer play anymore, and am always the first one to notice changes in the weather because of one dirty player my senior year of high school. It really sucks playing with girls who are so unsportsmanlike, and almost worse is having one on your team, because it gives the whole team a bad rep, not to mention, who do you think she practices her nasty moves on? her team mates, during their practices. A good friend of mine was taken out by one of our own players during a practice, she can also no longer play anymore.

    But honestly, I think the fans like it. Girls soccer is known to be pretty dirty and the guys in high school always came to our games, not to support the team, but to see cat fights. :(

    UPDATE: That girl got suspended from the team. And from what I understood its Permanent. Good ridings!
    She also gave some lame ass, pre written up apology speech at a press event.

    This is the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life. This bitch is fucking crazy!!!!! What the fuck was she thinking? Is she on steroids or something? Roid rage????? She should be arrested. That is the worse display of violence I have ever seen in sports, male or female. She needs a mental evaluation.
