Little Angels

- The give is to Foster,

who breaks free and walks into the end zone.

That puts this game out of reach

and another national championship in reach

for coach Jake Rogers and the Tatum University Tigers,

his second in five years.

It looks like Rogers are going to let Shipley

kick the extra point.

She's making history here, folks.

And the kick is off the upright! Oh!

The first female player

in a collegiate national championship

and she bounces it off the upright.

Great effort, but that's gotta hurt.

And shank you very much.

You remember that girl? Unlucky number 13.

That's sophomore soccer player Joelle Shipley,

you remember her.

She's the one that missed that PAT

in the national championship game

for the Tatum University Tigers,

and she was just cut from the team this week.

Wait till you hear, my friends,

what Tiger coach Jake the Snake Rogers had to say about it.

Look, the game was over.

I thought I'd give her a shot, but she was terrible. Okay?

She had no business being out there.

She's a soccer player.

You know, we're in America. Newsflash, soccer's for girls.

Are you kidding me?

Open mouth, insert foot.

Insert fist.

Let's set the stage here, now we're coming off the heels

of the second national championship in five years.

I get it, unquestionably talented,

but I guess we'll call him outspoken coach Jake Rogers,

who I'll remind you,

notably quit playing professional football

in the prime of his career,

is now in hot water for those comments.

Standing next to coach and seen laughing at his comments

is former, former Tiger Athletic Director Frank Polk,

who is now out of the job.

Tatum University President Susan Marquee,

had this to say about Coach Rogers.

You're an idiot.

Come on, Susan.

We fired Frank.

- He's probably on his boat in the Bahamas. Celebrating.

- Your new athletic director is Charli Martin.

- Never heard of him. - Jake, you're a great coach,

but if it was up to me, you'd be out of a job.

- But it's not up to you, now is it, Susan?

- The board of trustees seems to think

winning football games is more important than equality.

Well, newsflash, it is.

- Life isn't all about winning, Jake.

Of course it is.

Get out.

I, I am so sorry.

I apologize. - No worries. It's my fault.

I'm, I'm not really sure where I'm going.

- What office are you looking for?

The president's office.

Well, that, that's right here.

Oh.

- Well, be careful, she's a little bit militant,

if you know what I mean.

No, what do you mean?

Yes. What do you mean?

And here she is. Look at that.

- Well, I'm glad you two have met. Saves me the trouble.

- We just sort of ran into each other.

Yeah, like, bang.

- Well, I'm Charli Martin, the new athletic director.

Your boss.

Charli, I like your bag.

Oh, thank you. It's vegan.

- Really? - Seriously?

Charli is a woman? - Perceptive.

- Charli's not even a woman's name. It's like Jo.

- Actually, Jo is gender neutral.

- Gender neutral? What is- - And it's Charli with an I.

- Of course it is, yeah. - Charli is very qualified

for this position.

She has a PhD in psychology,

a master's degree in Women's Studies,

and is an accomplished athlete in her own right.

- Women's Studies. And you're an athlete?

Cross country four years.

- Cross country's not even a sport. It's like hiking.

I have a meeting.

Charli, the board and I have agreed on the sanctions.

Could you please explain them to coach

Sanctions? What sanctions?

Susan? What sanctions?

Let's grab a cup of coffee.

- I've got a medium chai tea latte,

three pumps skim milk, light water, no foam.

Extra hot for coach.

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

- And a black coffee for? - Charli. Thanks.

Here you go.

- Coach, your money's no good here.

Just keep winning football games.

Thank you. I will.

Because winning is what I do.

Excuse me, $3 please.

- Let's go, Coach Jake. - Hey. Hey.

- Keep it up! - Thank you. Thank you.

- Number one, number one! - Tatum Tigers, boys,

Tatum Tigers.

Hey, can I have some coffee?

- Look, girls playing soccer.

- Coach, I am so sorry to bother you.

We are huge fans.

Asher says he's gonna play for you one day.

Would you mind if we just get a real quick picture?

- Yeah, picture. Go ahead, go ahead, come on.

Stay right. There you go.

Heisman, right here. Hey, now you stay right there.

What? Hey! - Thank you.

So cool. Thank you, coach.

- Dad, that was awesome. - Kids. Yuck, ick.

- You're not being fired. - I know that.

- But you're suspended indefinitely, without pay.

You are to perform 50 hours of community service

and attend 50 hours of a sensitivity training seminar

before you can be considered for reinstatement.

I make $5 million a year.

Not this year. Unless-

- The university brings in $50 million a year

as a direct result of my football program.

- The football program is not yours, it's the university's.

You represent the university.

And your attitude toward women

is turning this university into a national joke.

Lemme think.

No, no, no, no, no.

No way. Forget it.

- In that case, you're terminated.

Breach of contract, violation of the code of conduct,

and section 13c of your contract.

What are you a lawyer too?

Yes I am.

Or you can just quit.

Quit, no. Quit? I never quit.

I don't even know what quit means.

No, I will not quit.

- What about professional football?

You quit that, didn't you?

No, I did not quit.

I walked away on my own terms on top, when I wanted to.

Tomato, tomato.

- You know, you know what you are,

you're like, you're like a sheep in wolf clothing.

- I, I, I think what you mean is a-

- No, I know what I mean. And I know what you are.

- Oh yeah? - Mm-hmm.

Well, tell me, what am I?

You are a-

Knockout.

Coach, you sure you ain't got a concussion?

I don't have a concussion.

I might have just blacked out.

It's, ow!

For like one quick second.

But who knew soccer balls were so hard?

Maybe Shipley would know.

You know she's back on the team.

The, the girl kicker?

You've gotta be kidding me.

Nope, full ride scholarship.

Thank you. What a week.

You, you heard the news, right?

I heard it. You got suspended.

Talked to your attorney, she says it's legit too.

Straight from the board.

So now what?

That new AD is a ballbuster.

Yeah, but she fine.

See- - What?

What?

- If I do this sensitivity seminar

and this, this community service stuff, I can be reinstated.

- Okay. We need you to do that coach, 'cause we need you.

All right, here's the plan.

Coach, come on.

- You'll become the interim head coach.

I'm sorry? Who?

- I, I'll still be the real head coach.

- Who me? - No, I, I'll be in your ear

talking to you on the side,

like I'm standing right next to you.

Coach, I'm not ready for that.

Yes you are. We can do this.

- Come on, D. We have another national championship to win.

Hit that. - I got you coach.

- Is this the sensitivity seminar?

- Who's asking? - Me.
