WSOC on ESPNU/ Bird Flip Updated

[Fairfield_1st]

This is a late notice, but the UConn women are playing USF for the AAC soccer title on ESPNU. 0-0 at the half with the 2nd half just starting.

UConn women win the title and head to the NCAA playoffs with a 3 to 2 win in PK's after a scoreless game. Congrats!

I though USF looked better and had a few more chances to score, but when it's all said and done they didn't score. Congrats on the victory.

Who was the player suspended for making an obscene gesture? And what was the obscene gesture?

During post game celebration, I saw for a quick second a player give the middle finger to the camera. Couldn't tell who, think she was not in the game at the end (based on what she was wearing).

UConn, you just won the conference title. What are you going to do next? "Flip the bird to a national audience" deadsp.in/fhjsCvL

There are people who are still offended by one finger salute?

Channel 3 News just said that it went viral. Way to represent UConn. Glad she was suspended.

Oh, oh. Once the NCAA finds about it, it will be the Death Penalty for the men's basketball team while UNC's athletic department, who has basically flipped the bird to the entire NCAA and it's own 'student athletes' skates on by while FSU laughs all the way to the bank.

I agree. What a jerk.

Noriana Radwan made a childish mistake and will pay for it and will miss at least 1 game (hopefully more). That said, all she did was give someone the bird. She did not hurt anyone, take a lot of money, steal, or stand-up in the middle of campus and scream profanities and sexist remarks to everyone. Football players who have done that in recent memory has been suspended, what a total of 2 games (1 full game, and several quarters). Is that fair?

This was on Good Morning America today. Wonderful.

It has long been time for Lenny T to retire.

How to retain your athletic scholarship - do not embarrass the school on national television and beyond.

The players who did not inexplicably flip off the country remained on scholarship - that is instructive.
