Despite recent national events, sportsmanship isn’t dead
Have you seen that video of Elizabeth Lambert? She’s the University of New Mexico women’s soccer player who became an overnight sensation after Lobos’ game against BYU earlier this month. Lambert is seen in a montage of heated physical encounters, punching an opponent in the back, tripping other players, and even throwing an opponent to the ground by her ponytail. Lambert has issued an apology and been suspended indefinitely from all of her team’s games, practices and activities for her unsportsmanlike conduct. Interestingly, this video has become one of the most-viewed on You Tube after being splashed throughout national news and entertainment programs from ESPN to CNN to Leno. Comedians told jokes about the soccer player and played the video repeatedly, while Lambert’s actions were debated, chastised and defended in a variety of news media. Shortly after this incident, another video received national attention.
