Uncivilized Conduct

I just want to share with you the following ESPN video about what took place during a recent women’s soccer match between Brigham Young University and the University of New Mexico:

Talk about uncivilized behavior.  You can see from the above video how the bitch named Elizabeth Lambert (sorry folks but I have a very hard time calling her a “lady”) “brutalized” the players of the opposing team.   Such rough, animal-like conduct has no place in civilized society.   A truly good athlete does not resort to injury-causing tactics against an opponent just to prove his/her superiority on the field.

Unfortunately, there are many examples of such bad behavior in sports.  We’ve seen free-for-alls erupt in games played in all continents.  It is inevitable that in the heat of battle, otherwise rational people sometimes let their emotions get the better of them.  But in this particular case, one sees a player who repeatedly engaged in rough conduct.  Her behavior clearly showed that for her, winning was everything.

The video above is now being shown all across the US and has rightly sparked a lot of outrage.  Her coach, thankfully, has suspended her indefinitely.  I hope that this woman gets the just punishment she deserves.  I also hope for the sake of the other players that she doesn’t set foot on a soccer field again.

Baker’s Still Around

Sorry folks but I’m still quite busy with work.  In spite of all the hours I’ve put in these past few weeks, there’s still a rather big pile sitting on my desk that I’m working on clearing up.  I hope to resolve things within a week or two.  Yes.  Unfortunately, it could take me that long to resolve those matters.

Celebrated my natal day earlier this week but except for a very special greet from the SO and for a delicious chocolate cake that my co-workers gave to me on that day, I’ve been spending long hours at work.

Anyway, I hope this little note finds you all safe.  Take care and to all the moms out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
