In reply to the discussion: Condoleeza Rice for NFL commissioner?? [View all]tularetom
(23,664 posts)25. You want a woman who can get right in there and go toe to toe with the guys
Someone who isn't afraid to throw a punch or ten when things get tight.
You don't want an academician like Rice who lets other people do her fighting and killing for her.
No, you want a real mama grizzly, a gal who'll scream "Don't you know who I am?" in the middle of a drunken brawl.
There's really only one woman who fits right in with the NFL's current cast of domestic abusers and child abusers.
And you know who she is.

Why, as a woman, would she be more sensitive to the issues of domestic violence and child abuse?

Now you're comparison makes sense. But to imply she would be more sensitive than MEN in general ...

I think the job requires reading daily briefs . . . . sorta rules her out quickly

It probably won't result in too much additional anti-US sentiment internationally
