Elizabeth Lambert
Elizabeth Lambert’s picture and video is the most demanding one among the internet surfers. She is a “defender” of New Mexico’s Soccer team but now has been expelled from the team after her nasty behavior caught in a video camera. The 20 years old defender punched the Carlee Payne (BYU) and then threw another opponent to the ground by pulling hairs. The player has been expelled from the team after getting the label of “dirtiest player” in women’s soccer.
It is not like that if it has been happened for the very first time in the history of football. No, but the main reason was that it was done by a girl and girls are supposed to be nice. Of course, she is not the only player who done it, Richard Seymour, Oakland Raiders defender, was fined $7500 for pulling Ryan Clady’s hair. Similarly, in August, Semi Tadulala, rugby player, was expelled from the team for one match for pulling ponytail of opponent Eorl.
Other professional players did not apologize for their nasty behavior (But some also does) but Lambert has also issued an apology saying
“I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation. I take full responsibility for my actions and accept any punishment felt necessary.”
Lambert was born on 29th of December, 1988. Her friends say that she enjoys surfing, camping and tacos. She wants to get a degree in Occupational therapy.

I, for one, and as a parent, hope they ban Ms Lambert for life from playing soccer on U.S. soil. She brings a bad name to the sport. She is a poor role model for young aspiring soccer players. She has a nasty temper. She is violence waiting to happen. Lambert is a lawsuit in the works. UNM cannot afford players like Lambert. She could put them in the legal arena, cost them donations, bring down their reputation and good name. Is it worth it for one woman on a soccer team? Pull her scholarship. Show to the young girls following in her footsteps that there are manners and rules in soccer, or any team sport, and they must be followed or there are consequences. The refs and coaches should also be trained or re-trained in how to handle out of control players. They have an obligation to step up and correct a situation such as we viewed with the UNM/BYU game. Hard to imagine that the YOUTUBE shorts have almost 8 million hits. I would guess 7 million or more of the viewers thought the conduct of Lambert was wrong.
