I don't think hardly anyone involved would of been bothered much about the halftime pep talk, sharing your disappointment publically, etc. This would hold true regardless of gender, race, talent or on field performance.

That's what many on SM seem to not see, even some posters here. It's not a sports thing, or gender or even ability thing. It's simply a matter of someone doing virtually nothing related to the cause/goal, but being critical of all those that have. And in her situation, anything said that isn't positive, or grateful, shouldn't be said. Not until more was sacrificed/invested on her end.
