Billie Jean King Weighs in on the Sarah Fuller Hate

Billie Jean King to the rescue!  Vanderbilt kicker Sarah Fuller set the internet on fire when she became the first woman in the Power 5 to ever play for a men’s college football team.

And Billie’s comment below:

These boys and men have mothers and sisters and aunts and grandmas, girlfriends and wives. Would they share these comments with them, or talk to them like this?

Vanderbilt plays No. 10 Georgia on Saturday. Let’s hope Sarah Fuller doesn’t give these trolls any more reasons to spew their hate filled nonsense.
