re: In case anyone actually cares what Sarah Fuller’s FG attempts look like

Hitting a woman unless they're threatening your life is only done by massive pieces of shite that deserve what's coming to them.

With that being said, the minute she steps on that field she's no longer a female.. she's a football player. Roughing the kicker penalties already have some humor because a lot of the time it's just a graze. There are instances where the kicker has gotten ROCKED though. I'm going to laugh my arse off if one of these guys sheds a block & gets to her Saturday.

How many people would be rushing to cancel that tackler? How long would it take for someone to bring up how that shouldn't have been done due to the gender of this one specific player?

That's what these people championing her around don't understand. Football is a brutal, nasty sport. These people act like they don't want different treatment until something happens and then they make it clear differential treatment was expected all along.

Her longest attempt in that video was 23 yards, not 30.

Bama fans circa 2008-2019

I mean they’re going through the uprights

I am over 50, a terrible kicker, but could do as well as that.

Sign me up so I can put EQUALITY on the back of my jersey.

Every single one of those kicks look like they would hit the offensive lineman in the back of the head.

Finally saw the kick.

That was something any 10 year old male could or would do...it wasn't even a good squib.

What a stupid story.

How is it groundbreaking if you're thrown in there to do something anybody could do?

Groundbreaking is you make a difference.

Fwiw, I was an all state kicker in HS in Florida and attempted to walk on at Auburn while we had fricking Damon Duval and his back up was a Parade all american in HS. I was going to Auburn anyway, but I couldn’t have picked a worse place to walk on. I went on to embarrass myself at the walk on tryouts. But I was still a hell of a lot better than this.

What I came to say though, is you can’t tell her leg strength here because she has horrible form. I can promise you as an SEC soccer player her leg strength is better then it appears here in these videos, she can likely make a 35-40 yarder fairly easily as far as leg strength goes. Almost anyway can with practice. 45 to 50 is a strong leg but would be normal for any soccer player. Her form and maybe her athleticism are just awful though, basically exactly like someone that just started to try and do it this week.

It’s like hitting a golf ball for the first time, or 100th time for that matter. It’s like she is hitting the driver 100 yards. She will never hit 300 yards maybe, but 100 is bad due to form.

Is she kicking it from the 3????

This whole thing almost seems like a parody

Imo they may allow her to do XP, and kickoff. But there is zero chance they let her kick an actual field goal, unless it's a fg that is at the distance of a regular XP.

Coaches will try and protect her. Nobody rushes on an XP like they do for a FG. On kickoff, I wouldn't be surprised if coaches instructed her to kick and run straight to the sidelines.
