Talk:Mia Hamm

message: How does an article so long and complete about arguably the best female football (soccer) player of all time, doesn't have a picture? Miguelfp1 00:18, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture? 

message: My  excellent deductive qualities tell me the 'points' are goals*2 + assists, but would it be possible with a link/explanation of how and why a 'points' category is necessary and what its function is? Coming from Europe, I haven't seen this attempt to 'mix' the two functions, goals and assists, before, and in Europe the assists don't even figure in any statistics (however unfairly to the supporting players), other than the extremely devoted sources, so I take it it's an American tradition? Poulsen 14:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Just put it down to an American fascination with applying a huge amount of stats to all sports. Assists are commonly recorded in Basketball. Just be glad they don't also give you the yards gained, number of shots made / missed / on target, etc etc as they do in American Football!--Richardb43 03:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Given that this is an encyclopedia article, shouldn't Hamm's position be in the summary?  I'm assuming she was a striker, but really such fundamental information should be in there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.78.131.139 (talk • contribs) 04:49, July 12, 2006
she was a foward, right midfielder and once a goalkeeper  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.191.112.27 (talk) 23:19, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hamm's Position 

message: Anyone else questioning the need to add the qualifier "women's" in the section header describing Hamm's service to the US National Team? Was there any question that a female player would be on the women's team? - RPIRED 23:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh... who would think that? Just offhand. I mean, we don't use "men's" as a qualifier for male athletes. - RPIRED 00:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For tennis they use men's and a whole bunch of other olympic events. "I don't care what you think" 22:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Women's national team? Duh 

message: A series of templates for U.S. Squad <yyyy> Woman's World Cup were just added. One does not yet exist for .  As such, I commented it out on the article page.  Please uncomment it once it has been created. — ERcheck (talk) 12:14, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  U.S. 1991 World Cup Squad template 

message: There are dozens of articles, including some in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clubfoot , mentioning Mia as a famous person who had a clubfoot deformity when she was born. I think including this fact into her biography not only would demonstrate her willingness to overcome a disability as part of her strong personality but would also be a great source of inspiration for kids with this condition.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.121.209 (talk) 05:25, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mia born with clubfoot condition 

message: "she scored more international goals in her career than any other player, male or female, in the history of the sport (158)." I think this is very inaccurate. Search for the Pelé article, says: "Pelé's goalscoring record is often reported as being 1280 goals in 1363 games", that is 1122 more goals than Hamm. And there are male players everywhere that had scored more goals than Ms. Hamm. This should be corrected. I'm not a native English speaker, so I won't do it. --Yogagye (talk) 15:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The operative word you missed there is "international". Most of Pele's reported goals were for club sides, I think. How many "A" international goals did Pele score? --Mosmof (talk) 16:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Goals?! 

message: Seems the lead is written as an advocacy of her and of Title IX. There's no conclusive evidence to say Title IX allowed her to have a scholarship. She could have gotten one without Title IX's help. That and it being written as pro-Mia. I'm a fan of hers but this is not written NPOV. 161.185.151.150 (talk) 17:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead Para POV 

message: Hello, there is an article here, http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/face/Article.jsp?id=h-1369, that might be useful. Thanks, Justin --Duboiju (talk) 13:30, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but what did Mia Hamm do, on club level, between 1993 and 2001? Was she married and raised children (or other stuff) during those years?--Paracel63 (talk) 09:15, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There was no 'club level' for professional female soccer players in the United States until 2001, when Women's United Soccer Association was formed.  Before that, it was virtually all national team competitions. - 75.178.13.124 (talk) 07:22, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Team 1993–2001?

message: Good morning,
I realize that nothing is mentioned of Mia participating in the 1998  GOODWILL GAMES that was held in New York City. In particular, Track and Field events were conducted at Mitchell Field Long Island, Nassau County, where I was assigned a  Security role while representing Navy Recruiting District New York. That position gave me the opportunity for Mia to autograph my Goodwill Games T-Shirt.

message: Greets:  "She also leads the team with most assists with 144." is in the beginning of the article.  That bit doesn't mention which team is being discussed and the portion discusses I believe 3 different teams.  No reference is provided either.  Can someone clarify please?
