I’m confident it had more to do with the 50-odd to nothing blowout than the chick place kicker.
He has been awful. That stunt yesterday was supremely stupid. He had 40 players on his team who could kick better than her. Publicity stunt is all it was, probably trying to save his job.
So when do sports become equal and men start playing on women’s softball teams?
Will they make a movie about this chick like they did for “Rudy”?

Vanderbilt ultimately lost to Missouri 41-0, dropping the program’s record to 0-8.
Mason was fired shortly thereafter.
“On behalf of the entire Vanderbilt community, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Coach Mason for his many years of dedication and service leading our football program,” athletic director Candice Storey Lee said in a statement.

“Derek cares deeply about the student-athletes under his charge. His tenure at Vanderbilt will be remembered for his steadfast commitment to our student-athletes, not only on the field, but in the classroom and as young people.”
Mason also released a statement on Twitter.
“It has truly been my honor to have been given the opportunity to teach, mentor, champion and coach hundreds of Vanderbilt young men and one courageous female,” he wrote.

Mason amassed a 27-55 record in six seasons at Vanderbilt. He will go down as the sixth-winningest coach in program history and only the second to make it to two bowl games.
Fuller, meanwhile, said after Saturday’s outing that she would love the opportunity to keep playing with the team.
“I would love to learn more, so if those guys come out of quarantine, I would love to learn from them and their experience,” she said.

“I’ve been having a lot of fun doing this. It’s a challenge for me, but it’s something I know I can do. It’s applicable from doing a goal kick to a field goal kick, so I want to continue learning, and if those guys can help me, I’m all for it.”
Prior to getting fired, Mason said he would love to have Fuller back.
“If she wants to kick and she’s available, we’d love to have her,” he said.

It remains to be seen if the next Vanderbilt coach will feel the same way.
Thus far, the names being discussed to replace Mason include former NFL coach Jeff Fisher, Buffalo’s Lance Leipold, Notre Dame defensive coordinator Clark Lea, and Princeton’s Bob Surace.
Who will the job ultimately go to? Time will tell.

The kick was NOT impressive.
Between the feminist Socialist Justice Wackos, the stupid woman “football player” who can’t kick for sh1t, and their 0-8 football season, Vanderbilt is truly a loser’s paradise.
Their backwards and perverted way of doing things reminds me of the bullsh1t coming from the Army and their fraudulent female Army “Rangers.”
Go to youtube and watch Jericho Green’s response to this. Also the guys that do black and white sports and Officer Tatum on youtube. Green uses a lot of bad language but he’s a riot.
But...but...she broke the glass ceiling!
Right.
This is like a dog riding a bike. It’s cute and everyone claps, but it’s empty, meaningless entertainment. It doesn’t open an era of dogs riding bikes everywhere.
