A Final(?) Note

Hi folks,

It's been more than a year since the soccer match against BYU that made Elizabeth Lambert famous, and she has gone on and played her senior year as a regular member of the University of New Mexico squad.  The team had a great season, earning their first appearance in the NCAA women's soccer tournament.  I just wanted to add here a little addendum, or final note, that will probably be the last entry in this blog.

I started this blog as more of a joke than anything.  And what immediately happened was that I started to receive a lot of hate mail.  I was actually a bit shocked at the amount of blind hatred, rage, and vitriol in the comments and e-mails I received.  It was unsettling to me.  Yet, the hate and rage leveled in my direction based on this modest website must have been less than 1/1000th of the hatred and rage that was directed at Elizabeth Lambert herself.  Probably much less.

Elizabeth Lambert Spearheads UNM Charity Event + News

Hi folks, an update at last.

Elizabeth Lambert has recently spearheaded a charity event at the University of New Mexico for Locks of Love, a charity that creates custom hair pieces for needy children who have lost their own hair due to illness.  The University of New Mexico briefly mentioned Elizabeth in their press release about the event, and unfortunately that has led to more spite and ridicule being directed at her.

Grow up, h#ters, you're pathetic.

Here is the press release:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The University of New Mexico women's soccer team is partnering with the UNM Women's Resource Center to assist with awareness for Locks of Love.

Show Your Support!

 Hey, so this section is really the key point of why I started this site.

The hatred and vitriol that has been directed at Elizabeth Lambert is so insane, and so disproportionate -- it's wrong.  It's wrong when you put it in your heart to hate this girl.  She is just a twenty year old college girl who was involved in a rough game of soccer.  Maybe she was the worst player in that game, but you know what?  That does nothing to justify the hate and vitriol that has been directed at her in the media and all over the Internet.

When I saw the famous video, sure I noticed the fouls, but I also noticed a lot of positive things.  Positive things about the girl who was supposed to be a villain.  I noticed how athletic she was, how sharp and beautiful her tackles were, how passionately she played the game -- with all of her heart.  I noticed that even in her fouls, she was an honest player, not hiding anything, not trying to con the ref.

Gallery!

Hey folks, I know you've been waiting in anticipation of the gallery, and I hope this won't disappoint.  These are just some graphics I've created to support Elizabeth, or photos I have edited a little bit.  Most of the photos come from golobos.com.  There are more photos of Elizabeth there, and you can order high quality prints from them, which I highly reccomend.  Go here to look through their photos and order prints!  (Who doesn't need a framed photo of Elizabeth on their wall?  There should be one in every home in America!)  :)

Here's a wallpaper I made, showing what a beautiful girl this is that everyone has been hating on:

How to view the famous smear video in slow motion...

In my "In Defense of Elizabeth Lambert" post I talk about slowing the video down and watching it carefully.  Everyone might not know how to do this, so here is a little bit of Internet wizardry for you that might come in handy in life:

Hi folks!  This post is for links about Elizabeth Lambert, and especially ones in support of her.  Please send me any links you have of websites or articles that have come out to defend Elizabeth against the drive-by media lynching.
