Editor,
The Belfast Telegraph in Northern Ireland wrote that Elizabeth Lambert’s dirty play was some of the “worst sportsmanship seen on a pitch.” It didn’t differentiate between men’s or women’s play. I’m sure a gritty town like Belfast has seen its share of cheap shots. That the Belfast Telegraph was appalled makes Lambert’s excuse that “rough play” is a part of the sport pretty lame. Rough play, yes; trying to cause your opponent’s neck to snap, no way.
