- 0:00We got a question for our American mama's. Dear mamas, why are you
- 0:03conservatives celebrating a girl playing NCUBA football but you are so hateful towards transgender women
- 0:09in swimming. Well, let's ask our American mama's mama, mama and joining
- 0:26us now our American mama's Terry Nutterville and Kimberly Burlison. So, over this
- 0:31last weekend, Hayley van Vry's of Division three Shendoi University became the first woman
- 0:37to play in an nc DOUBLEA football game, not as a kicker. We've
- 0:41had some other women that have played in the NCAA as kickers. She plays
- 0:45as a safety, which means she's going up and trying to tackle the big
- 0:50guys that are out running, either as receivers or running backs, trying to
- 0:53get through her. And maybe even sometimes she goes on attempts to try and
- 0:56tackle the quarterback. Okay, So if you have a woman and that's playing
- 1:00in men's sports, why would you celebrate that woman If you don't think that
- 1:04without men should be playing in women's sports, I don't celebrate it. You
- 1:10don't. I don't really don't celebrate it. If it was an individual thing.
- 1:15And she was against other women, that's that's one thing. Or she's
- 1:19even against men in their sport and she's the best, she beats everybody,
- 1:23that's one thing. But a whole team. I feel like men are going
- 1:26to treat women different. They're not gonna want to hurt her. So it
- 1:29changes the game, it changes how they're playing. And there are female football
- 1:36players now, they do have women teams. Go play with the women.
- 1:40Well, the other thing is, quite honestly, you're not going to have
- 1:44a woman coming too a male sport and beat them and take away their medals,
- 1:48take away their scholarships, take away those things. That's happening with the
- 1:51transgenders. Now, this is a female who's a female in this men's world.
- 1:55Whether she's not transgender, that would be a whole different story. But
- 1:57it doesn't happen like that. It only affects women negatively when a male comes
- 2:01into their space. So I asked Kevin, I asked my husband, I
- 2:05said, what do you think about this? His answer surprised me. He
- 2:07said, I mean, if she's qualified, if she's the best person for
- 2:10that job, then yeah, she should go for it. You know,
- 2:13I don't have a problem with that. And I said, do you think
- 2:16that the other players are going to be different towards her, They're not going
- 2:20to be as brutal and he said yeah, he said, I can see
- 2:23where some would probably kind of just just enough to gently get her, tackle
- 2:27her gently. But my whole thing with the whole transgender movement and that she
- 2:31again, she's not transgender. She is a female who earned that spot on
- 2:36the team. Right, She's not trying to be medal, right, right,
- 2:38right, right. Her pictures clearly show she understands. She's a beautiful
- 2:43girl actually, and she has earned that spot. And so I my problem
- 2:49with the transgenders going into the women's sports is they're taking away opportunities. They're
- 2:53taking away medals, they're taking away sponsorships, they're taking away the ability for
- 3:00women to beat them because they're men. So do you think she has an
- 3:06unfair advantage because because one of the things we look at, not right of
- 3:09the game, she's swimming against Leah Thomas. So do you we obviously think
- 3:14Leah Thomas has unfair advantages against other swimmers in the NCAA simply because of his
- 3:20physical anatomy. Do you think this player, Miss Van Vy's has physical advantages
- 3:28compared to the men in the sport where she had a physical disadvantage, physical
- 3:30disadvantage, the fact that she made it on that field with the physical disadvantages,
- 3:35there's a lot about her. To me, what are you think?
- 3:38Well, I feel like it is an advantage being a female because they're not
- 3:40going to go I mean, they might be cruel and just try to go
- 3:44after her and hurt her, you know, but I think most men would
- 3:46not do that. So she's at an advantage of not being touched, you
- 3:51know, of not being hurt, and so I do think that she's at
- 3:53an advantage. She shouldn't be there in that interesting. So this is where
- 3:59one thing this is this is a subject out of the Kimberly and I disagreement
- 4:03on. Yeah, okay, if you're the coach for one of the teams
- 4:08going up against Shenandoah Valley, how do you get your players ready to play
- 4:14against a female opponent when it's just it's just one person on the other team.
- 4:17She's not the necessarily the best player on the other team. She's only
- 4:20been had a few minutes on the field. But how do you get your
- 4:23players so that they don't make mistakes because she's on the field. I think
- 4:29it's it's innate in each player. Like I've raised my boys, they could
- 4:33never hit their sister back. They could never do anything to harm a girl.
- 4:38So even if they got to that level and a coach said I want
- 4:41you to get out there and you just ram it down her throat, you
- 4:43better throw her. I don't care if you you know, I don't think
- 4:46that my boys would be able to. Yeah, I agree, there's no
- 4:49way they'd be able to. So there we have it. She is at
- 4:53an advantage there. I'd be so curious though, with the coach she just
- 5:00would say to the guys to get them too, because she doesn't. I'm
- 5:01sure she's like, no play like you always would, you know. But
- 5:05do you think the coach put her on the team because he's so afraid of
- 5:08being canceled? Do you think that was one of those let's put her on
- 5:11the team so nobody comes down and crams down my throat. If you look
- 5:14at her, I don't think she's gonna be a starter. I mean she
- 5:16went in like D three D three schools. Yeah, I think it was.
- 5:24I think it's a statement more than anything but you know what I look.
- 5:27You know, I was like, goly, she's cut, she's ripped.
- 5:29So maybe she did. Maybe she did beat out the fourth and fifth
- 5:31stringers. You know, she looks like she's I think she's down the line
- 5:34a little bit. She didn't get a lot of playtime. So it is
- 5:38I think it's just a coach saying, Okay, give you an opportunity.
- 5:42I give you this opportunity to see what you can do. And I will
- 5:44say when you go to that Twitter feed, a lot of parents, especially
- 5:47women who had sons on her high school football team, said, listen,
- 5:53she's a bad a. She can get the job done. Watch what she
- 5:57does. You know there they all stand behind her. So that says a
- 6:00lot to me too. Even like to ask our American MoMA is a question.
