Sarah Fuller made history on Saturday afternoon when she became the first woman to play in a Power Five conference football game. Vanderbilt installed her as a kicker after the team’s other kickers were deemed unavailable due to COVID-19. Vanderbilt ultimately lost to Missouri 41-0, falling to 0-8 on the year. The team’s head coach, Derek Mason, was fired one day later. Shortly after making her big debut, Fuller did an interview with Courtney Cronin of ESPN. Among the interesting tidbits that emerged from their conversation was how Fuller got angry at her teammates at halftime.

Vandy should have got a trans woman to make the kick. That way they would get double woke points and they would have had someone with enough testosterone to get it past the 10 yard line.
They scream like lunatics at band concerts, when the middle school band is introduced. Don’t ask me how I know.
She’s a girl soccer player.
Yup.
“What a dweeb. Not the way that happens.”
Sigh, exactly.
Maybe it was supposed to be an onside kick?
I couldn’t tell that she was a woman. She was wearing too many clothes.
I am sure there were guys looking at her incredulously thinking “You’ve got to be kidding me...”
Or worse.
The coach could have just had her kick the ball out of bounds to get the same effect (ball on the 35 yard line). I guess the optics of her just kicking it out of bounds would not really have fit the narrative.
Ditto the stunt. Why not get a men's soccer team member to kick, if no one on the football team knows how to kick a football...
They're barely football players as it is, and nobody who toils and sweats during the course of a game wants to hear any lip from one of those wimps.
Beyond all the typical misogynistic comments that invariably appear on these types of events (stunts or otherwise) - she was likely not wrong in her basic observation, which is witness of a completely demoralized team.
Yes - womens/girls sports and their characteristics are different than the mens sports. However, a certain level of enthusiasm above sitting on a bench and pondering if your scholie is going to be renewed next season is necessary.
Firing of the coach shouldn’t be a surprise in this sort of situation.
We just saw history. Remember where you were today so you can tell your grandchildren that you witnessed the worst kickoff ever in a power 5 conference game.
“They’re barely football players as it is, and nobody who toils and sweats during the course of a game wants to hear any lip from one of those wimps.”
I didn’t say she should have opened her mouth, I just said she’s not wrong. I only played at the HS level, but I can tell you, if there was a girl kicker grinding my gears at halftime, I would have let her know her place. In these days, most of those guys have been indoctrinated to the point where they think her place is to be on a men’s football team.
I’m living in a world I don’t understand.

She would have had to kick it out of bounds and reach the 35 yard line. I'm not sure she was capable of that.
Respect? You? After they sweated through every August practice, suffered 7 loses before you arrived and then you yell at them hoping for respect? They might be jocks but they know exactly why you are there and forgive me if I say they likely have little appreciation for the reason.
Seems to be the way Tampa Bay Tom does business on the sideline. But Tom didn't get shellacked 41-0.
Most of the time it's the place kickers who score the most individual points for their teams over the course of a season..
And why is a place kicker forced to kick a field goal? Because the offense couldn't put the ball in the endzone.......
Well, say what you will, but arguably the greatest quarterback of his generation with six Super Bowl wins can likely do that with any team he goes to, he has earned it.
She is an affirmative action hire who isn’t qualified in any way, shape, or form. She happens to have a vagina and breasts, which were enough to get her on the team for a chance to show how qualified she was.
I don’t watch television, but my wife does, and I happened to walk by as she watched, and it was a bunch of women on some show gushing about her.
