Jennie McNulty Presents: Walking Funny With ... Havoc

by
Trish Bendix

This week Jennie has a hard-hitting interview (literally) with Angela "Havoc" Mims, linebacker for the California Quake Women's Tackle Football team. Jennie finds out what makes these ladies play, how hard they work in the off-season and how exciting it is to "HIT!"

Jennie and Havoc talk about what it will take to get women's football more mainstream. Havoc demonstrates one of her favorite moves and Jennie tries to stay upright as these women of football share their love of the game.

    for the insight into your football team and women's football. I agree about it should be mainstream.

    Great interview. Very energetic.

    I think schools have so much trouble with title IX because they can't sell it.

    The opposition to female sports is one part discrimination and 5 parts money.  If someone can profit from women's sports then it would be mainstream.

    Figure out how to get people in the stands or in front of their TVs and it'll go mainstream.

    I really enjoyed today's vlog - Jennie rocked....as always.  I don't think I'd like to see Havoc sneaking up on me. 

    It's really too bad that there isn't more female sports.  In my area, there is plenty of rec leagues, but once you get out of your early 20's, the competitive leagues just aren't there.  I don't think there is any football around here, and if there is...it's probably only flag (not that there's anything wrong with that).

    Maybe we could get a vlog that covers the female football league (a la Cheap Seats for the WNBA) for those of us that live way too far away to attend a game.

    Any road is a good road when you don't know where you're going.

    Even though I do not even understand the rules of the game...nor have I actually seen a full game of footall played, watching the way Havoc truely loves the sport gets me enthusiastic about it. Maybe I'll play if I ever move out there.

     However, I sould start taking H.G.H. now if I plan to join up...I'm 5'2 and > 115. I don't actually want to be thrown off the ground - which seems possible having seen that game footage.

    Such a great motivation for exercising. Better sleep now so I can run tomorrow morning. By the by, Havoc is so fit! Fit is so much hotter than skinny. A great laugh definitely also adds to the hotness.
