Damn



I have a high tolerance for violence in sport - but there are two plays in this video which are absolute nasty, I'd-slap-the-living-shit-out-of-the-person-man-or-woman-if-they-did-that-to-me - 1) The Ponytail yank down. Anything that can damage someone's neck is pain nasty and uncool. 2) She goes straight for an ankle break on the tackle 30 sec in - diving from high and aimed down into the ankle and swinging her second leg in. I know that move. The only thing worse would have been going in two footed. I've seen seen this happen a couple of times in my career and 2-3 ankle breaks as a result.

In the words of Chris Rock, "I'd never hit a woman...but I'd shake the shit out her!"

The word last week at work on this was... Hell yes, I'd watch women's soccer! Violent femmes sell. -Mel
