Could that be categorized as womansplaining? I saw another story where she said she would like to stay on the team the rest of the season.

I don't blame the girl at all.
She's done absolutely nothing wrong here & honestly has made a name for herself while showing some courage to even attempt a half time speech. I commend her.
My disgust & LOL is aimed at the Vandy football program for being in this situation. Just absolutely embarrassing
Yup. That's awful. And I also think it was somewhat awful for Vandy to use her to kickoff the second half, assuming she wasn't the best person available (which as it was an ingame decision, seems like there's a decent chance that's the case). I'm sure there are girls soccer players that would be pretty solid and accurate placekickers. But if she didn't have the best leg available, using her just to say they used her because they were a scared they wouldn't have an extra point or fieldgoal seems a little disrespectful. If she had been with the team the whole season, yea, get her a shot at something just like you sometimes do with walkons to reward their hard work. But she had been with the team three days. It wouldn't have been insulting for her to not get a play. Now the first women to play in a DI football game got to play as a gimmick, not because she was the best player available.
I'm leaning toward the AD "suggesting" that Mason give her the opportunity.
I really don't either. She is from a completely different culture than that locker room. First, women's sports in HS/college is constant Ra-Ra!! - full of cheers and pep. Annoyingly so. Second, she comes from a winning background and just won an SEC title (with 3 key saves as goalie) as a freshman less than a week ago. I'm sure the lack give a shit was shocking to her. Vandy should be embarrassed that their football culture is so bad it's being called out by the soccer players.
Yep, that's exactly what I was going to say, except it happens on girls' softball in college too. They're all the time jumping around and acting - like girls. I wonder if she'd have been making the same speech if she'd been leveled by a 300-pounder after that kick. Bottom line, in my opinion, girls should stick with girls teams, guys with guys. Either that or let men play on the womens soccer and softball team. And we don't want that.
Man, I went on a few dates with Courtney Cronin back in 2013 hah
Player of the Week, too!!!

And the media is eating it up...
it’s embarrassing
Just shows how different men and women are. Women are more vocal expressive than men. Neither is wrong, just different. I coached my girls softball teams and they none stop cheering, yelling, all the time. Boys not near as much. Womansplaining to the mens team, great for lockerroom moral. Getting beat on field and then getting kicked between the legs at half by a girl. Yeah that will fire you up.
Sooo I was right for calling it bullshit virtue signaling in my post. Ill ne waiting for the apologies from the douchebags thst said i was an asshole
