We’ve already seen one story today about athletes behaving badly being punished severely for their actions, with the Internet playing a starring role. Here’s another: Elizabeth Lambert, a soccer player for the University of New Mexico, has been suspended indefinitely for one of the more unsportsmanlike moves you’ll ever see.

The video, which is nearing one million views on YouTube, features Lambert first punching an opponent in the back, and then later, pulling another down by her hair. During the game, Lambert was only issued one yellow card.







The story is actually quite similar to that of Florida’s Brandon Spikes eye gouging an opponent in a recent football game. Although not a huge deal during the game itself, it was the reaction to the YouTube clip making its way around the Web afterwards that ultimately led to a harsher punishment. Put simply: bad behavior on the playing field is going to get a lot harder to get away with when the eyes of YouTube are watching.
