She attempts to convince the public her behavior was out of character. I call BS! The truth is we all saw the REAL Elizabeth Lambert. Her actions on the field were typical of the actions of someone who was getting bested by superior athletes. She knew she couldn’t handle the opposing team players athleticism and teamwork, so she digressed to trying to physically intimidate the opposing team players.

I am glad to see she received some form of punishment for her actions on the field. In addition, I hope she learns her lesson and doesn’t resort to this low level behavior again.

Hate to say this, but the girl probably has never had her arse seriously kicked. People who have never had their arse kicked typically don’t understand the potential consequences of their words and deeds. The result is these types say and do unnecessary crap, having no idea someone will beat their arse for their lack of respect.

True you have to have discipline and focus on winning the game but that is a learning process for each individual player. It takes time and she is a junior who will make mistakes. Of course she has made a big one. Her emotions got the best of her. I just wish people would quit trying to have her banned for life! I don’t remember ESPN going on and on when Malone was splitting foreheads with his elbow. He never got suspended. Anyways she doesn’t strike me as the type who plays dirty on a regular basis. She just had a real bad day!

Hehe, I agree with everything you said Defeis. Yes the game is very physical, retaliation happens, but you have to have discipline and focus on winning the game–not being the kind of player focused on exacting revenge all game. I think she has learned her lesson with her name being paraded on national TV and being so publicly suspended. And most of all, yes the refs really have to do a better job at recognizing when a game starts turning from heated to vicious.

Correct I never have heard of Elizabeth before this incident. But how many women soccer players are household names? I played soccer when I was in high school so I know how physical it can get. And I know, how you get when when somebody throws a low blow your way. It makes you want to retaliate twice fold. She took it too far but the refs should have done something before it got as far as it did. I just want her to get a chance to come back next year and play as a senior with a lesson learned.

She’s been suspended…though the season is actually over so…aside from being embarrassed on national television nothing will ever come of it. I’d say hopefully this is all it will take for her to find a NEW passion for the sport–that being to actually excel in the talent of the sport, not this sideshow crap. I’m sorry, I partially agree with you Defeis about the fact that she should be allowed to return to the sport as she’s a junior and will obviously be brought back, I honestly don’t think you need to hope and worry about that though like you put it. Lastly, yes…she has a passion for the sport. Barry Bonds had a passion for the sport. Ron Artest has a passion for the sport. John Rocker had a passion for the sport. Kermit Washington had a passion for the sport. You can channel your passion into being a true talent, a true athlete and persevere as a passionate (and physical) great all-around player…but you have to know when too much is too much. No offense but I doubt you ever heard of her Defeis before you saw this clip. How do you know she has a true passion for the sport? Because she’s “into it?” Cause she thrives on heated competition? Maybe. Then again, maybe she’s gotten this far and now realizes one has to compensate for being outplayed, as she apparently was on many of those clips.

Yeah…I guess she has passion. Not sure about much of that talent stuff though.

Hey they started it and she finished it. She went overboard and I’m sure she knows that now. But in the NBA I’ve seen worse so I hope she is allowed to come back and play. She has passion for the sport.

Well you’d be wrong then Rudy as is Greg about the fact that athletes get away with this type of conduct all the time. Are sports physical and “subtly” vicious at times? Yes. If you pull someone down by their hair almost snapping their neck on a basketball court, or in any soccer game, it’s going to get attention. I love how you guys actually think this is just par for the course. I’ve watched a lot of sports in my 33 years and you can’t tell me this is the same as a some physical play under the basket or whatever. You guys are jokes. Thank god you’re not in any position to spell out (or lack of) any sporting misconduct violations. You two are blinder than a bat killed by an Argentinian kung fu grip.

wretched soul, a little elbow is very much part of the game. No offense, but it sounds like you haven’t watched too much collegiate or professional sports. Elbows under the neck, as long as they’re not jabbed violently and with serious malcontent, while two players are defending a position is just part of sports. Look at professional soccer, both men and women’s, look at basketball, hockey, and football.

Now. If you’re so concerned about the elbow I’m worried you have a perceptual problem with the severity of people’s actions. The malicious and purposely violent actions Lambert carried out, repeatedly, are so far and away not on the same level as a simple elbow. You’re not going to get a yellow card for an elbow, Lambert could’ve received 2 red cards and 3 yellow cards for her play.

So ye, don’t bring that weak stuff up in here boyeee.

Also, Kelly…

“First of [sic], your title” don’t mess with New Mexico’s Elizabeth Lambert” is sickening.”

Uh. We joke here. This site is meant to be humorous in delivering content most of the time. I’m sorry no one told you. Awkward…
