(運動) 女球員挑戰美式職業足球

美式足球是美國最受歡迎的職業運動項目。由於美式足球十分暴力,每位球員全身都需穿上護具盔甲才能上陣,可說是男人的專屬運動。不過就在今年,一切都要改觀了,因為有一名女性球員加入了位在德州的革命隊,此消息已引起全美國人的熱烈關注。

36歲的魏爾特,身高僅157公分、體重僅59公斤。這麼嬌小的她,竟然還成為革命隊跑鋒。她接受記者的採訪時表示,她會加入這個聯盟,主要是希望能夠帶給觀眾更多的驚喜,並且要證明男性球員做得到的,她一樣也能做得到。

其實衛爾特並非等閒之輩。她過去就參加過許多業餘的女子賽事,也是美式足球兩屆女子世錦賽的金牌球員。不過球季還沒正式開始,她就已成為各隊的箭靶,多次的練習賽她都慘遭許多男球員盯上與擒抱。看來她在球季可要好好保重,畢竟這麼嬌小卻要被一大堆臭男生窮追猛壓,這可不是鬧著玩的事。

(Sport) Female Athlete Dares to Play in American Professional Football League

American football is the most popular sport in the US. However, the fact that it is rather violent, with every player being required to wear protective gear when they are on the field, makes it a mans sport. Nonetheless, the sport is about to take on a new meaning this year for a female athlete has joined the Texas Revolution and the news has attracted wide attention in the country.

Jen Welter, who is 36 years old, is only 157cm tall and weighs only 59kg. It is incredible that a person her size can take on the role of running back. During an interview, Welter said she joined the league in the hope of bringing more surprises to the spectators and proving that she, too, can achieve what the male athletes have achieved.

In actual fact, Welter is no plain Jane. She has played in a variety of womens leagues and won two gold medals at the Womens World Championship. However, the season has not even begun and she has already become the target of every team, with her being targeted and tackled by many male athletes during the exhibition games. By the looks of things, Welter will need to watch out for her own safety during the games. After all, it is not easy being chased and smacked by a bunch of guys when you are only this small.
