Why does it bother you so much?
I don't have any inside info, but I'm betting they planned to use someone else for kickoffs and just use her for FG/XP, but when it became likely that those wouldn't be happening today, they improvised something for her since she got all the pregame attention.
Prayers sent**
What happen to the real kicker?
Soo brave
Good thing you probably keep your wife in the kitchen where she belongs.... *
Such a lame PR stunt. Girls have no business on a football field with grown men. This isn't being gender biased or discriminatory to women either. Men and women are not the same for those intellectually challenged.
If there's ever a female student who can help any of our men's teams win, we sure as hell better sign her up, no matter whose feelings it hurts.
Imagine if Vanderbilt had lost 13-12 with two missed extra points because they refused to let a female kicker who could've made them join the team becuase "girls have no business on a football field."
I say good for her. I don't know if it was a PR stunt or not, I can see where Vandy's football program might be tempted to do that. But if she was the next best kicker they had, why the heck not.
I don't have a problem with it but it was a PR stunt. Did they hold an open tryout for any interested kickers? There weren't any former Juco or high school kickers interested?
That "stunt" female has more national championships than any Vandy football player has or will have at any point in the foreseeable future.
Yeah in womens soccer. If any of yall think this was some kind of sports chamging event you are a ****ing idiot
She's 6'2" and not a beanpole lol, I GUARANTEE you she has 20 lbs on that Rodrigo Blankenship kid from UGA, yet nobody said he should get cut.
Vandy lost their kicker. the best kicker that tried out was Sarah Fuller, so they played her. End of story. the sexism is in thinking they should have picked someone based on gender, rather than the quality of their kicking
My point is even kickers have to be prepared to make a tackle or make a football play in case in breaks down. So here he comes on a muffed kick, 4.4, 220lbs and she is in the way. What happens? Answer geniuses?
So you geniuses really think a female belongs on the field with those male athletes? Yall need your heads examined.
The PR stunt is just that trying to push a political narrative that a female can do anything a male can do. Part of the feminist movement. I am not biased. There are many things a woman can do that a man can't, it works both ways. You think there isn't a male kicker out there as good as she is?
Her championships were not in football.
Use your brain folks.
What happens if she kicked it off for real or if she kicked a field goal then got trucked by a 250+ib guy? Are people going to be harsh on that man for making the tackle?
Besides look at her kick. You're telling me no one on that team can do better than that?
If a girl could help us I would want her on the team.
The other piece of this is the team and locker room issue.
Same as women serving on the front lines in the military and the draft. So yall OK with that? You want your sister or daughter fighting in the middle east against Arab men in front line combat? I don't care if she is a good shooter. Got the fox hole issues too like the lockerroom.
Did I ever say men and women were the same? You're not very bright if you think that's what I said
It's because men and women arent' the same that we have separate divisions. Women would get destroyed if men were allowed to play vs them. It's why this transgender issue is so stupid and not fir to women. HOWEVER, the reason we keep womens sports separate is to protect them from men. Men's teams don't need to be protected from women.
Men shouldn't be allowed to play on a women's team but women should be allowed to play on a mens team because very very few women can do that.
The fact is kickers rarely have to make tackles, they are rarely athletically comparable to a 6'3" LB, and even then are rarely even in shape. Most kickers have arms that look like mine. On top of that, many kickers are physically small.
Why would I worry about a 6'2" female taking the field for 2-5 low risk plays when I don't worry about the men described above doing the same game in game out for years? Sarah Fuller knows the risks, she's an adult, and she's objectively not in any more of a physical risk of getting steamrolled than many male D1 kickers
