Setting the Women's Movement Back...

by at least 50 years is one Ms. Lauren Silberman...

I can't tell if she did this as a complete farce or if she legitimately thought she could compete in this arena.  Regardless, she couldn't kick the ball more than 16 yards and from reports on scene, couldn't even get the ball to sit on the tee without falling over.  When she fails to get the ball out of her own shadow she then says she has a pulled muscle and retires to the medical staff.

The thing is, there might be some decent female kickers out there.  Note I said "decent" and not "good".  If we are talking about the top 1% of virtually any physical activity, the realistic perspective is that there will not be a female among them.  But Ms. Silberman virtually guarantees that even "decent" ones will be given short shrift as she was the first female EVER to participate in an NFL combine.

Enjoy the videos...they're good for a laugh at least...The first video is a good closeup but the second one you really get the full effect of how pathetic her kicks were...

You don't think women can do anything as good as men, and now this fine young lady has set us back even further...
