    Could you see it? An elite returner gets dissed when he gets tackled by the kicker. Now you got tackled by a girl!.:lol:

    I say more power to her. If she has the skills to kick then all points made against her are moot. It's not to hard to imagine a relatively non-physical position such as kicker going to a capable female.

    I don't think she is currently on a soccer sholarship, last year was her last year on the soccer team.

    Her situation would be much like Katz on the baseball team. He has said that if he complete his senior year here and goes undrafted he will stay in school and walk-on the following year for the golf team. Kids that play out their eligibility in one sport are allowed one more year to play for a different sport.

    "Miles says there were four other kickers in tryouts that performed better than Isom,"

    i wonder if we can get kim kardashian to come tryout. she cant kick either but she attracts attention and you guys seem to be more into publicity than anything else.

    Kicking wasn't her problem, nor was publicity:

    That tackling bit is a cop out . No kicker can tackle.

    when les says she cant tackle it doesnt mean that she can kick. it means she cant tackle. she cant kick either. why is this so hard to understand. so you are exactly wrong. kicking was the problem. so was tackling. when miles sai there are 4 other kickers that are better, he didnt mean they can tackle better, although they can.

    and saying you dont like publicity doesnt mean you dont like publicity. pay attention to what people do, not what they say. if you have a youtube series, and try out for a men's team you are not avoiding publicity, youa re seeking it, which is fine.

    the odds were always stacked against her, but she tried. no big deal, except for the fact that she is female. one day there will be a female who makes a big time team. i realize it's a stretch, but most didn't believe a black would ever become president either.

    Sure they can. Most of the time the return guy is tackled way before the kicker would even have a chance but there are some who tackle. Just being a girl (a beautiful, feminine one at that- in addition to being athletic) puts her at a disadvantage, obviously. And I don't mean that chauvinistic it's just that men are physically stronger.
