well, she would have to be able to kick not only at a certain level but kick better than the other dudes. it does when you are assembling a team. not sure if you have heard but it is important for kickers to have range. so it really really really does matter if males kick it farther. there is no reason to not let you try either. if you can kick better than their current kickers you should make the team. why dont you try out? it would be really fun? oh yeah, i guess since you have no chance you would be wasting everyone's time. so maybe there is in fact a reason for you not to try. interesting how that logic works. "I think people naturally assume that kicking a soccer ball and kicking a football are one and the same, and they could not be further from the same" - the lovely and beautiful mo issom I think I have the natural leg strength from soccer" -mo issom incorrect. what you actually have is a pretty face that nobody ever says no to.
it really really is incredibly relevant how many tries it took, dont you think? i can kick a 50 yarder if i catch it just right. i can also drive a golf ball well over 300 yards. i can bomb shots from half-court. i can hit the bullseye on any dartboard. i am terrible at all of those things. it it really important the rate at which these things are accomplished. wildly untrue she doesnt. and she wont.
if she is a magic wizard that can cast a spell that makes me a billionaire, i am all for that too. but she, yunno, cant. if serena williams could play on the mens tour, good for her. but she cant. if a woman could challenge garry kasparov at chess that would be great. but she cant. if a woman could play hockey like wayne gretzky she should be allowed in the NHL. she cant. if a woman could beat up georges st pierre, she should be allowed to fight him. she cant. if X can Y is a nice thing to say but pointless if X cannot Y.
Yes, but we don't know how many she tried. Most people would equate consistent with having the same results most of the time. Mo Isom has demonstrated that she can kick a soccer ball a long way, and its not luck when she does it. Now she's being offered an opportunity to show she can kick a football. We get it; you hate the whole idea. You are in the minority. By God you're right. I just looked at the stats; Allemand never kicked a 50 yard field goal last year. His long was 44. She's entitled to a chance to prove otherwise. Isn't America great?
i dont hate it. i hope she gets really famous and is all over my tv hopping about with her sexy body and pretty face. i am just telling you that she isnt an SEC caliber kicker. there are topics where people like to pretend. people pretend tebow is good. they pretend that the williams sisters can beat decent men. they pretend that celebrities are good at things they are not. i am just telling you wassup, homie.
so your theory is that she isnt wasting anyone's time because she has a legit shot at making the team? this is supported by the fact that she plays women's soccer and can kick a soccer ball? not sure you understand football, hoss. i will bet you 200 cases of beer to 1 that she does not make the team.
mo herself says they are completely different. more accurately she is being given the chance to show she cant. because she cant. i dont hate it, i love it. it amuses me the idea that people are confused by publicity stunts. if you are comparing practice kicks to an actual in game kicker than i dont think you understand how sports work. just curious, trying to figure out how stupid you are. what do think are the odds she is a better kicker than alleman? (the answer is significantly less than 1% but i am gonna let you try your best on this one) also she said she "consistently" put it near the 5? thats not good enough. thats basically admitting failure. she needs to kick into the endzone for touchbacks. she is way too short. and i dont think she said she said she consistently hit the 50 yarders. she said she hit some. you shouldnt mischaracterize her performance, she wouldnt want that.. yes, hot chicks are awesome. people like to pretend they are good at things they are not. just because i dont play along doesnt mean i dont enjoy watching everyone else act like clowns and play along with the pretty girl, like mindless idiots.
If she was wasting Les' time, he would not have encouraged her. No one gives a chit if she wastes your time. Try me, cupcake. I'll make you the same bet that you are being an ass about her.
he understands PR. he cannot say anything other than that. he could be honest if the world were filled like people like me who are not offended by honesty. but the world is obscenely politically correct and he must pretend. when katie hnida was a terrible kicker (which i coulda told you before she played a down) her coach was suspended for saying she couldnt kick. he surely only let her on the team due to public pressure from folks who are clowns and like to pretend. so you will not take my bet at 200 to 1? its ok i knew you agreed with me. and i dunno if honest appraisals of things make me an ass. i think she is a lovely girl.
