  • Fox Sports Exclusive: Abby Wambach Addresses Controversial Comments Made Regarding Referee
    FOX SPORTS EXCLUSIVE: ABBY WAMBACH ADDRESSES CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS MADE REGARDING REFEREE U.S. star Abby Wambach exclusively spoke with FOX Sports USWNT Insider Jenny Taft and addressed the comments she made last night regarding the yellow cards given to teammates Lauren Holiday and Megan Rapinoe: “I was asked about my opinion – whether those yellow cards were just. And, for me, I’m not in the referee’s head, and that’s something I definitely take ownership of and apologize for, because I don’t know what the referee is thinking. She is doing the very best job she can; so are the players. We’re all trying to do our very best, and that’s what I feel bad about because I think that’s what was taken a little bit wrong in what I said, because I don’t know what she was thinking, and nobody can. She’s doing the best she can, and for me, I have the utmost respect for all the referees who are refereeing these games and all the players because this is such a big event. In no way did I intend to offend her – and my biggest apologies if it was offensive in any way.” FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas reacted to Wambach’s apology: “We saw a player who realized she screwed up, or she was told she screwed up, and needed to rectify it. I’m glad that she did, but I love the fact that Abby Wambach talks. I love this volley that seems to go back and forth on everything.

  • Book Collection Project
    !1 Collection: Women in Athletics My first two true loves were sports and books. Growing up, I always kept a book in my mother’s car so that I could read on the way from school to soccer practice, from soccer practice to tennis practice, and on the way home when practices were over. One of the most agonizing decisions I faced daily in elementary school was whether I should sit in the shade and read during recess or play a game of pickup basketball. My grandmother and I regularly made the two-hour commute from my hometown to Starkville to watch the Mississippi State University women’s basketball team. I would read throughout the entire duration of the car ride there and back with a break in between to watch my favorite team play my favorite sport. Early in life, I became interested in learning more about the sports I loved to play. I wanted to know everything about every sport: the rules, the histories, and the best players and coaches. I visited both my school and city libraries nearly every day and quickly went through all the books they had that related to sports. Around this time, I discovered the beautiful thing that is Ebay. I began to order books about sports with money that I received from my grandfather for working hard in school and making good grades. I looked forward to the end of each quarter of school because that meant I would be able to buy more books. Thus began my collection. Most of my books that I did not purchase myself were given to me as Christmas gifts from Santa Claus.
