Of course, I may just be miffed at my last couple opinion pieces being cut in half in the name of "The Battle of the Ink." In turn, I am down right pissed that my defense of New Mexico soccer standout Elizabeth Lambert questionable ply takes a backseat to a story about "Twilight."

Are you seriously telling me parents would rather have their little girls growing up like Kristen Stewart's most pathetic role than being assertive, no nonsense women. For those who object to such looking at Lambert in such a positive light, unlike Bella Swan, she doesn't rely on self-destructive whining.
Lambert's only defense to those who do not understand how contact sports are played was, "I let my emotions get the better of me in a heated situation." Bella was out to kill herself over a guy, and then becomes flirtatious as a method to get over him. If I can't have him, then I'm going to hurt him attitude. It doesn't make you sympathetic, it makes you a bitch.
Of course, I have only seen the trailer (too many times at that).
If anything, we should admire Lambert for doing what she did for her university. And not being so indecisive about sparkling vampire or horribly tanned werewolves (if that isn't reason enough to burn every "Twilight" cut out as effigies, I don't know what is). Lobos all the way.
Still, the argument of which undead freak of nature you'd rather shag took precedence over the need for public opinion to change for someone who is undeservingly getting chastised. I know I've been critical about the ICC newspaper not taking stands and suggestions, but putting two people who are only writing something to read themselves over newsworthy material is downright offensive.
