What do you think of the controversy surrounding this female soccer player? Would the reaction to her actions have been different if she were male? What does all the attention put on her say about the power of YouTube and other social media? Is this a good or bad thing? Explain.

i think that is so funny. that girl is crazy.
ReplyDeleteI think her actions where to violent. I she was a male I think the reaction would be the same.
ReplyDeletei think it is something funny that the media loves. if she were a male it would be not so funny.you tube is very sussesful if you put good things on there it could become very popular. bad thing she shouldnt do that but it is funny
ReplyDeleteI think that the girl soccer player dose deserve some comments because she should not do that. And if she was a man it would be different but still not right. And people who are makeing death threats are rediculous. Youtube in my eyes is fine as long as their not putting stupid things like death threats. Because if the soccer player was stupid enough to hurt other people in front of a camera than thats her own problem.
ReplyDeleteI think what the girl did was very fowl, and unsportsman like. i would hop that she got kicked out of the game. I think that it wouldn't be different if it was a guy becasue either way there hurting the person on the opposing team. I bet that most people think that she is a poor sport and shes very rude. i know i do. I dont think it shows really anything, if people want to watch that then they can get on it. It's not that funny to watch, just because i had that done to me before and it's not the greatest feeling. I don't have an opinion if it's good or bad.
ReplyDeleteim very upset in the female soccer star who punshed kicked and even pulled one down by her hair almost scalping her and i do think she should atleast be put in jail for aggrivated assult because she knew what she did was wronge i do not think she should be raped in a prison and left along the side of the road thats a tiny bit much i think its fine for people too make fun of her on youtube though because she is a bully and thats what she diserves plus cody stinks
ReplyDeletei think the controversy of the femake soccer player completely expected. No i dont think the reactions would be different if she was a male because no matter if your a male or female it's not right to go around ripping people down to the ground by their hair or punching someone in the back even if they do something to you, you should just let it go. Everybaody imitating the incidents on youtube is rather embarrassing for her i would think. I think it's bad because it shows she has bad sportsmen ship and she has a temper and this could ruin her soccer playing
ReplyDeleteShe should have not did that. To me she should be kicked off the team. If that wiuld have been a man he would got up, and punched the other guy in the face. That the next day, or even that night it is already all over. This is bad because soccer is not that rough of a sport.
ReplyDeletei think things would be different if she were male, people expect guys to get in fights. The whole YouTube thing could turn out to be a bad idea in the end because people might send threats and push her over the edge with the stuff they say. so i think it could be a bad thing for this girl.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a bad thing, no girl should be doing the things that she was doing. Like pulling other girl's hair, and punching one in the back. Yes, it probably would be different if it were males. I think it would more common for males act like this instead of females. Males normally do get really competitive during sports and they get mad easily, so I could see males doing it.
ReplyDeleteThe media and other people all seem mad about it. The headlines or comments they posted on the subject weren't so good.
I think that she should be taken out of soccer, but also the media is taken it to serious. If she was a male I think it would just be calm and careless about it. It says that they are abusing their powers of alerting people of there surroundings. This is not good because now she is becoming a victim of the media. Why do they take everything so serious?
ReplyDeletei think she is crazy for doing what she did. she really had no reason what so ever to just rip a girl down by hair. i dont think that it would be any different if that was a boy who did it. now that she did that she is alot of people ar going to know and might not want to ro her friend. i know i wouldnt wanna be. i would say that it is a bad thing beacuse she's notgoing to have anyfriends and people arnt going towant to e around her.
ReplyDeleteI think in this situation youtube had alot to do with the fact that the news found out about this. I also think that if this was a male it would not be as a big deal because males are know to be more aggresive. The girl that did this was just a stand out because of the fact that you dont hear as much if any of women being that aggresive in any sports.
ReplyDeletei think the chick that got her hair pulled should have got a free shot at that chic that pulled her hair. I mean all she did was tug at her shorts. The chic should have got exspeled from the team. ALSO i think that whatever went throw her mind to nee that uther chic should of gotten a free shot to.
ReplyDeleteI think that girl took things a little too far. If she would have just plsyed it like everyone else had then she wouldnt be dealing with these problems with the media.
ReplyDeleteI think they wouldnt have made such a big if she was a guy because you see things happen all the time between guys so its nothing new but when you see a girl getting down and dirty in a game people get into it.
I tnink Youtube twitter etc... could ruin somebodies life if they all get people to get the wrong idea on things. Like they make fun of her for defending herself. And taking her anger out and onto the field. Thats something i would would do if i was angery enough and someone was touching me.
I think the youtube and stuff is a bad thing because they are saying really nastey things that could hurt someone and if shes a regualr teenage girl getting broadcast all around youtube and myspace and twitter etc.. someone could track her down and beat her up or something. you never know what people can do.
I think that she needs to get anger management, and it would most likely be different if it was a guy, because they expect guys to be rough. Its defiantly not goo that you tube has that kind of stuff on there threading people. People always complain that we kids in school have to have the best manners, but that where we get the foul admitted from is things like that.
ReplyDeletei think people are overreacting over this thing. i think its stupid how people think that if it was a male who did it that it would be different and people wouldnt be broadcasting it as much. i honestly think that the media would still make a big scene out of it if it was guy who did it. i also think that people who are putting a bunch of videos of her on youtube are childish.
