Dirty New Mexico soccer

    That's some awful big hypothesizing with no facts.

    Another possible explanation is that she is a thug who was emboldened by getting away with increasingly larger offenses throughout the game.

    Yes, because people choose to perpetuate them because that's all they have.

    Because nobody dives in soccer ::)

    Your possible explanation is no different than my awful big hypothesizing.

    This is how I see it: Once the BYU striker elbowed the fullback in the belly -- IMO, on purpose, with intent -- then the shit was on.

    This is very true. There has always seemed to me a difference in how referees in this area officiate girls and boys matches, and I think that can be applied on a wider basis than just the area I have close experience with.

    And nobody dives in hockey, basketball, football or any North American sport, right?

    Funny how it's always soccer that gets tagged with that label by those who don't know any better.

    Dude, the BYU girl who got yanked down was trying to grab at No. 15's snatch. Fuck that shit. You give, you get.

    And as for the elbow, No. 7 from BYU planted it straight into 15's gut.

    Exactly. So let's stick to the facts.

    So if one player elbows you, you are now given a free pass for the rest of the game to do anything you want to a completely different opposing player?

    That's asinine in the extreme.

    I want 15 on my team. She is hard-nosed gritty. Great tackling on 7 in the corner, without any post-tackle chicanery. Great player.

    Rick, look again at the video. The girl whose hair was yanked was grabbing at 15's shorts very close to the crotch area.

    Really? The player was already tackled. The play was whistled dead. Spikes went and reached into the players helmet and started to claw at his eyes.

    If anything the “pulling of hair” was more “in the heat of battle” because the clock was running and play was ongoing. Spikes could have blinded his opponent and ruined the man’s life permanently.

    I can’t believe you would defend that thug. But, I guess since the guy plays football it is just fine…

    Any more words you want to put in my mouth?

    Last I remember the teams in question were playing soccer
