He thinks she's part of "the change", whatever the hell that is. I thought he was smarter than this.
I've no problem with her playing. Don't care if your a boy, girl, trans, or some kind of squid faced freak. If your good, you should be able to play. Less overwhelmed with all the attention when she hasn't actually shown she can play. As squib kicks go, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. But squib kicks are about 1% of a kickers normal duties and we haven't seen her do any normal kicks. Hopefully she'll get another chance and we'll get to see what she's got. If she's at least decent, kudos to her, she's a trailblazer. If not, well, there are a lot of other bad kickers out there and she'd be one of them.

...by first demonizing Sarah Fuller herself, who did little, if anything wrong, and then continuing to trumpet this as some big deal. It's silly, yes. But what if it does inspire some young girl to be a FG kicker - is that really so bad?

He knows what side of the bread gets buttered, and I doubt he wants to lose his job.
It wasn't a bad take, really. He said he was applauding her not because she as a female kicker who kicked in a game. He focused on her "persistence," and he commended her in "overcoming adversity" (such as recovering from broken bones). He said he was most impressed by her halftime leadership in the locker room (an angle on this about which I had not heard). He didn't pretend she performed well as a kicker. He used the term "squib kick," though in connection with her "detractors." He said he hopes his sons the same "have character, commitment, and perseverance." I'm not caught up in the hoopla of Fullermania or anything. But I think Aaron's segment was fine.
