Female kicker to break NFL gender barrier

Perhaps you missed the start of the thread where it was stated "Lauren's father said she had no background as a kicker but had made a 40-yard field goal before, which encouraged her to attend the Regional Combine, even if the odds are stacked against her."

She had no other kicking background besides making a field goal before

I'd read in other articles that she'd played soccer before, which is why I said that earlier. If that's not the case then it wasn't very wise of her to put herself into this kind of a position, but it is what it is. It's still no grounds to say something equally unwise like, "maybe she should be in the kitchen, I've got some mayo if she'll make me a sandwich".
