Haley Van Voorhis on being first female non-kicker in NCAA football 

Same thing that's going on with women in the combat arms units of the armed forces. Overlook some standards, make some new ones, create a few winning moments for the camera, broadcast those wins, shame others who don't play along, and pass on moral accountability for the unavoidable ramifications down the road. Which in this case will be some girl gets hurt bad or football as we know it is over.

That wasn’t a tackle. That was a hug. 😂

She jogged in unblocked and literally clung to him and pull him down on top of her in seemingly slow motion. So brave, so bold.

The interviewer asking if 'that quarterback knew what hit him' gave me a great laugh My golden retriever greets me harder than that when I come back from grabbing a beer

Her biggest accomplishment with that play was not getting a roughing the passer call.

The quarterback actually landed on her 🤣

Isn't that roughing the passer a bit there? 😅

So violent! She literally ripped that quarterbacks head off with that super aggressive tackle. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Was this for the make a wish foundation?

This is no different than when they let an old man or disabled person participate. Both teams were told not to even touch her. This is what they call history

That was a hug followed by the QB thinking "why is this person still hugging me?" and then falling over to make the hug stop. Very awkward stuff.

That QB didn't even know what hugged him before he decided to lay down for a second, I'm literally shaking right now. P.S. Thanks to whomever posts the videos for Today's YT channel & forgot to preemptively disable comments, 18k views with only 111 likes btw lol

that is 100% a "roughing the quarterback" penalty. She tackled him long after, not only had the pass been thrown, but the receiver already had the ball even and was himself being tackled. That's a 15 yard penalty easily. If a man had done that tackle, there's no way the ref would have let that slide, and possibly it would have been an ejection from the game too.

There is a strong taboo in our country, thank God, pertaining to men hitting women. Why anyone would want to shatter that taboo is beyond me. It would be ugly if this young lady were treated like any other defender.

That should actually have been a late hit penalty. QB had already released the ball. I hear she is a great person and a talented athlete which is awesome. But to do a national news story on this is pretty nuts and grasping for straws. We had a much larger female kicker, who was also a multiple sport varsity athlete, on our high school football team back in the mid 90's. Everyone was mortified the first time she was mowed down by our oppositions special teams.

She made a late hit, which is a penalty.

My brothers and I were sports nuts when we were younger. I grew out of it by 12 but my brothers continued throughout highschool. I remember BOTH of my parents forbidding us to play football because of the dangers of CTE/paralysis. For her parents to allow her to play with men 3x her size is a travesty.

3 years on the team. Allowed to do 1 play and it looked staged. What are we congratulating???

Penalty, softening the passer, 15 yards and an automatic first down

Now imagine if the qb planted his foot and lowered his shoulder on contact to break the tackle 😴

This QB is such a good sport giving to charity like this. They had to have these idiots covering this story bc every guy in the studio was probably in the back laughing too hard

Can someone explain to me what's inspiring about this?....she was given a obvious free hit on the qb who I honestly think fell on purpose just to make her feel good. Like is actually working hard and earning something a thing of the past? I paint and sometimes people come up to me going" wow that is amazing" and I'll be simply opening a can of paint lol....its the weirdest thing in the world but part of it is becuz im black they think thier curing racism by praising me for doing anything no matter how small it is.

She tackled the quarterback but he ended up on top of her. 🤔🤣

How do we know she’s the first women? There could be some players who identify as women who have played

You can’t make this stuff up!!! First, this wasn’t a tackle, it is called “roughing the passer”. The ball was previously thrown prior to the soft hit! The penalty flag should have been thrown. Second, who was protecting the quarterback? A bit strange that she had a clear shot with no blocks! Third, the tackle was pretty weak! Nothing aggressive, more like a hug! Fourth, keep this gal in for a significant period of time! Putting her in for a single play here & there is not worth prime time!

Y’all just because people are being factual about all of this doesn’t mean she’s being hated on…some comments are uncalled for but some are spot on In a real game this would be a penalty

This will end horribly.

That was the softest (late) tackle I’ve ever seen. But hey, let’s pretend that this was a monumental moment 🙄

Inspiring history.... this was stupid enough to be a segment on The View

Our inability, as a culture, to deal with simple truths, is stunning. So much social engineering being done based on lies...😢

This young woman would make history as the first person to actually die on a football field if she’s not careful

4:14 - 4:21 "Quick, mute her mic, she's destroying the narrative!" ~ Producer

More power to her, but this isn't serious...looks more like a marketing plan than anything.

This was a foul, he already threw the ball. The ref didn't call it and the media called it a great play. Btw it is very brave of her to get on that field, not trying to attack her, But people shouldn't be pretending she is better than she is , it could lead to her getting hurt.

They have a five-man line blocking four linemen (/woman) rushing straight forward and she goes unblocked. There are only two explanations for this: 1. This was scripted by both sides to allow her to get to the QB 2. The offense didn't feel any need to block the girl Please, someone show me another football clip where five linemen allow one of four d-linemen go unblocked on a normal passing play when the defense is not blitzing or stunting or doing anything remotely tricky. It doesn't happen. I'm guessing it's option #2. The offense chose to double two of the d-linemen instead of blocking her. I expect they would script a sack if it were scripted.

When you're lying on the turf screaming in pain and waiting for a stretcher after a 300 pound offensive lineman decided to treat you like any other player out there and now you will never walk right again... Why don't you remind us of what an historical moment you've introduced. I hope that never happens but when truth takes a backseat to feelings, it rarely ends well.

Listen to her interview. She has never played until this one obviously staged play. Her comment is, "I've had people come up to me after a game and tell me, "Dude I dint even know you were a girl." In the games you never played. 🤣

The hosts are clueless..... That was not a tackle because the QB had already released the ball! It was a hit and almost a late one.

You know whats funnier then a woman playing football? Its me typing Haley Van Voorhis high-school football highlights and there were none, not 1 not even 1. Why you think that is. I will tell you, its because she never made any plays that i could find. Let her olay a Whole game and dont let the guy take it easy and then lets see about a dumb news interview. Nothing more then virtue signaling.

Why do women try to be like us its funny. Always something to prove. Meanwhile we out here just living life.

Stop it...she's 5'6 145 pounds...if both teams hadn't been told that she was in there, she would have been flat ran over, concussed... during her college football career she has absolutely no stats...women can get on the field when it's organized for her, let me see her play a full live game, I bet she won't last a minute

This is going to end badly for some poor girl who believes she can go against a full sized linebacker that decides not to hold back. I mean career ending injury.

So brave! I cant wait to see where this goes! 😂

That QB literally just fall on top of her 😂

I hope she gets treated 100% equally on the field

I’m a mom of 2 boys and a girl…all played sports This is ridiculous I’m embarrassed for her I’ve seen too much research on brain trauma from football She’s not a guy…she even said girls are not made like guys… just pathetic stuff that they ran this

The fact that she has been on the team for two years and this is the first time she played at all speaks volumes. It’s a token roster spot.

Late hit and roughing the passer--not to mention that the play didn't call for anyone to block her. Ladies - NO EFFIN BIG DEAL!

Would love to see a video of their Oklahoma drills

They didn't even try to block her.! Plus it was a late hit.

Make a Wish Foundation doing what they do best.

I’m so glad the make a wish kid got his wish 😊

She ran slow and tackled the quarterback after he threw the ball. Isn’t that roughing the player? Not to mention the tackle was in like slow mo and I think the quarterback only fell down for her because he felt bad. At least she’s not telling everyone she identifies as a man though.

No flag on the play? Even if she couldn't ruff the passer she still hugged him after the pass. Is this going to be like Sarah Fuller? Is she sitting for the rest of the season?

I had the Clown Planet soundtrack playing for this video.

Yeah, I'm all for women's empowerment, but a few facts: * she's playing for division 3, not exactly playing DE at Alabama * she's 5'6" and 145 lbs. I'm trying to be nice here, but there's simply no way she could compete. Your average safety in the NFL (the position she plays) is bigger than 6'0", more than 200 lbs and can do the 4.5 40 yard dash. Yes, I know, she's playing division 3 ball. Look, it's simple, with every play she's out there, it's one play closer to her getting herself killed. She a girl and there's no sport I can think of where women simply can't compete with men. They did a publicity stunt play in a blow out game, how lovely. I just don't see the point of this, however. If a 6'5", 240 lb qb took off and started running and lowered his helmet into her, they'd have to drag her off the field. Again, I'm all for women's empowerment. What I'm not for is encouraging women to force themselves into arenas that they're not capable of being in. No one should say crap if she tries to tackle a running back and gets her neck broken.

I’m a 31 205 pound man and I’d absolutely truck this women to the ER

Reality will shine on her soon enough.

It must be football season and the left are at it again. Staging another sports SNL skit. Nobody blocked you on purpose and the QB just fell down. Shame on the coaches for allowing this. I'm eager to see the medias reaction when one of these superior women athletes get hurt permanently from a hit. Broken back, ribs, limbs or worse paralyzed. Then this nonsense will come to a abrupt end. 🤡

😂😂😂the guy let her tackle him plus that would’ve been a penalty. I’m a woman btw so no misogyny here.

5”6 145 what a safety🤡

LMBO! People need to stop with this crap. If there are actually women who want to play football then they need to create a female league. Let's be honest....if someone from the opposing team would have disobeyed and not allowed her to hit the QB...but knocked her a few yards...then they'd be in trouble for it. She may be good at other sports, but not football. Not only that, with them applauding this are they going to applaud & call it a "step forward" when some swole dude comes to play female sports? Nah..

"Next time, we need to get the sack"... how about next time NOT roughing the passer & the refs actually throwing a flag! 🤦🏾‍♂️

That was not a tackle, and it was ruffing the passer.

My grandma did that to me once when she was falling down after losing her balance

Wake me up when she makes an actual tackle 😂😅😂😅

It was roughing the passer the pass was incomplete 2 weeks ago and she could barely take down the QUARTERBACK 😂😂 💀 he went down like it was make a wish foundation like he eventually let her. Im sorry but it was funny i couldn't contain myself..

They not even worried about her,linemen letting her run by is literally them saying she’s not worth blocking

Good for her, gotta create that "illusion" but God help the guy that steps into her or actually lays her out.🙂

But what is a "female"? What is a "woman"? It seems the definition changes all the time.

So she (checks notes) caused an uncalled 15 yard penalty that didn’t impact the play at all and it is historic? Is that what we’re so excited about?

That's called roughing the passer.

In a few years she will press charges on that QB claiming he “touched her inappropriately” i can already see it lol

Dude......this is painful. Just stop.

When I was 13 and played soccer I could kick an official college ball further than she did consistently. What a joke that was basically an onside kick. Even if both kickers were injured she was too and many players have kicked before or tried out to be kickers at some point and any player not already on the field could have kicked it far better than that. Doing the media rounds too and was filmed in advance and obviously a stunt.

So stunning and brave... until some 6ft 5, 300lb fullback turns her into a permanent part of the astroturf.... 😂😂😂

Reminds me of that time they let a blind kid play.

So \/irtuous! Next you'll be praising first blind quarterback in NCAA history! 🤣

Yeah! She's amazing! Let's put her in every play. 😁😁😁

The dopes interviewing her are an embarrassment. Nothing against Haley but it’s only a tackle when you bring down the ball carrier. It’s not a tackle when after the quarterback releases the ball, she still takes two steps before a late hit against the quarterback. That’s a 15 yard penalty for roughing the passer. The pansy refs are in on it and don’t throw the flag. Actually, that “hit”, more like a hug, was like my five year old son tackling me.

This was just woke virtue signaling at its finest. She has no stats, and did nothing. It felt like a big make a wish foundation thing where they let her try and tackle the QB, but instead she just hugged and cuddled him. If she was actually blocked she would of be just pushed back like a twig and not gotten anywhere.

Hilariously embarrassing. The girl, the team, the "school" and this show and network should all be ashamed. I’m so for women’s sports, but this is virtue signaling.

That’s a late hit.

GMA, if you’re claiming to do historic stories, you missed at least one. HBCU FB history was made last year by Leilani Armenta

2 things: that left tackle just let her go by and the qb acted like me when my 3 year old son rushes me. The school is doing this for publicity obviously. Nobody know where Shenandoah University is except truck drivers that go by it on Interstate 81.

Wouldn’t the bigger deal be her lack of size…..even for diii? I’m more impressed that a 5’7”, 150lb, 14+sec 100m saftey, with no football stats prior, made the national news for an unblocked hurry (by receiver error) in a diii football game. Maybe we should all leave gender out to see the truth.

Notice she hit him after the throw. Where are the red flags? Notice nobody even bothered to block her. She may be a tough girl. But she would get killed, literally, if she had to take the kind of hits most guys take in a real game.

You ladies call that a tackle when she should of been flagged for roughing the passer. Fake news! It was a late hit or hug, but it wasn't a tackle.

The gorl tackled the quarteback without the ball. And nobody tried to block her. Its dellusional.

It's good that she can play, I'm sure she's 'good' in some respects but come on people it's quite obvious they're going easy.

I train jiujitsu with a college football player... Im 155 5'7" and i couldn't imagine playing with ppl that big .. get her off the fkn field...

Did she get a penalty for roughing the passer? It was obvious she hit the QB long after he had thrown the ball.

Could have gotten an interception if she had more awareness

What a joke. They’re treating her like a make a wish kid. Put her in a real game and she’ll go to the hospital. Stop with the make believe BS already.

Unblocked? Couldn’t even get to the QB in time? Late hit? She didn’t even know where to line up. Wth 🤦‍♀️. Come on!!!

Bro can we please just get female football

They didn’t even block her

This is the funniest thing that I’ve seen since, they let Corky dunk on that 5 Foot Basketball Rim😳

Rather than advancing a female empowerment movement, she just set it back. We all saw and know what happened there.

He knew. He didn't mind.

I wouldn’t feel too good about being a result of virtue signaling. You didn’t earn that spot through skill, and physical ability.
