Some of you all may remember there was a thread about her receiving a Super Bowl commercial about aspiring to be first NFL female player.

LINK

quote:

A Detroit woman has made history as the first female football player at a skill position to receive a full scholarship to play the sport in college.


This was obviously a publicity move by the university, but I will give her kudos for following her dream I guess.

quote:

Harris was diagnosed with cancer in 2014 and went into remission a year later. But her fight never deterred her from the dream of playing football.

I can't be mad at that honestly.


Obligatory pics

Highlight tape. Make no mistake this was affirmative action 101. There were no real highlghts, and most of the plays were from practice .

So she got a scholarship because she was a female and black, not based on skill level

Is she kicking, punting, or the LS?

I was wondering if that commercial did anything to affect her eligibility.

Doesn't this blow Title IX completely out of the f*cking water?

This proves that women are eligible to receive twice the number of scholarships as men. Do you think a man will be allowed to compete for a softball scholarship?

And, by man, I'm not referring to those mentally insane transgender freaks.

What’s her measurables?

How many guys with her comparable measurables would receive a scholarship?

Don’t you know it’s poor form to ask a woman her weight?

Uh-huh. Put her on the field against an SEC team and see how long she stays in the game.

I bet she could crush a watermelon between her thighs like it’s a grape. She got some gams.

I read somewhere that she is like 5'7 135. Some guy somewhere who sucks at football but is still better than her was definitely looked over.

Hell i wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she could be slightly competitive at a low level school. Even still that highlight tape was just laughably bad.

Jesus, that highlight video looked worse than HS videos...

85% of the "highlights" are practice...

There was maybe 2 plays on her HIGHLIGHT reel that she had an actual affect on the play.
