In yesterday's New York Times Lambert claimed that she's the real victim. Victim of what? Pretty much everything. A brief summary of people who have done Lambert wrong:
* The dirty BYU players who started it.
* Fans in the stands who taunted her.
* The ref, who made a mistake in not issuing cards (to Lambert?) sooner.
* Sexism in the media for focusing on her actions.
* Sexism in the culture for turning her into a villain.
* Bloggers and emailers who've said mean things about/to her.
And you thought she couldn't get any less likable!
The best part of this is the amount of ink (pixels?) spilled by NYT for this story, notice how the article loops back a couple of times to traditional pomo themes of gender, sexuality, et al.
