1. Elizabeth, your apology stemmed from getting busted and a serious consequence handed down. I fail, however, to see that you are sincerely sorry.
2. Coach of Elizabeth: You seriously did not see what your player was doing out there? And if you did, you were going to let it keep going until the ref called it? You need to take some accountability for your lack of action.
3. Referee of the game: Four words for you Sir. "get a different job"
Lambert: Let me count the 12 ways that I'm not sorry
1. (I watched the video and thought) That is not me
2. (I watched the video and thought) I can’t believe I did that
3. because I am a female, it [brought] a lot more attention
-> What? A guy yanking a woman to the ground by her hair is more acceptable??
4. We train very hard to reach the highest level we can get to
5. The physical aspect has increased over the years
6. I’m not saying it’s for the bad or it’s been too overly aggressive
7. It’s a game
8. Sports are physical
9. the way the video came out [made] me look like a monster
10. That’s not the type of player I am
11. I would never want to do that
12. I’ve never been in a situation ... where I was out of my element
Wow! Liz has got a bad case of denial. The only part of that whole series of violence that she finds unacceptable is the pony tail pull. Therein lies her problem. She needs to own up to every one of the violent attacks.
Hey Liz! You did not elbow the girl in the back. You wound up and punched her while gritting your teeth. It's on film, girl, there is no denying it.
And the double smack to the head as your opponent was falling to the ground. Uh, Liz, that's on tape too.
You are a thug. You've gotten away with this for a long time, which is why it seems so normal to you. Darn that film crew, anyway.
