From the time our kids are babies, we moms are very careful to teach them lessons about good sportsmanship. We drill into them the importance of playing fair and being gracious, win or lose.

Well, someone’s mamma didn’t get that memo.  And she’s got a daughter who’s a college soccer player for New Mexico.

Here’s an ESPN  video clip of soccer player ELIZABETH LAMBERT from New Mexico who acted atrociously during a recent conference tournament game against BYU.

Unbelievable, right? What does she have to say for herself? Following is her statement. The strikeouts are the subtext courtesy of moi:

“I look at it and I’m like, “I wish I could lie and say That is not me’. I have so much regret at being so stupid. I can’t believe I did that in front of the camerasI think the way the video came out, it did make me look like a monster because, well,  I am. That’s not the type of player I am and if you believe that I have some swamp land I’d like to sell you. I’m not just out there trying to hurt players I’m also trying to kill them. That’s taking away from the beauty of the game. And I would never want to do that not so that I’d get caught or in trouble anyway.”

Then she goes on to complain that it all got so much attention because she’s a female. And that guys aren’t criticized when they get rough.

Waaaaah! Boo hoo! I’m being vilified because I’m a girl!

You’re being vilified, you idiot, because you’re a foul-tempered, cheating, little bully.

What a role model for young girls everywhere. Her parents must be so proud.  And who knows? Maybe they are. She learned this behavior from somewhere.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR KID BEHAVED THIS WAY?
