1. I loved the Mr T pic, but the rest of the article

confirmed for me why I hate macho sports.

The fucking entire thing is a reduce women to Tits and Ass and then insult and mock them for being female fest. Typical "Gonzo Critic/Humorist" Make dumasses, stupid TV, and ALL WOMEN the butts of your jokes. Never mention a woman without remarks that reduce her to a warm thing you think is pretty stupid but wouldn't be above sticking your dick into, if she's hot enough. Unless she's totally not hot, then you can just trash her for the being the worst, most laughable incompetant ______(pick something she does that you don't like)

Geezus fucking christ, I was gonna cut and paste one offensive paragraph . But then I looked further and saw the ENTIRE ARTICLE is a He Man Woman Hater's Club newsletter.

Plenty of awestruck praise for big boy sport stars, or big man expert analysis of what they did wrong technically, liberally sprinkled with little breaks for jokes entirely dedicated to sexual bashing/trivialization/leering/ mocks on selected women!! Or on all women:

Q: I'm not a big Survivor fan -- but I did watch the final show last night. Wasn't Chris's victory (after all his male compatriots were eliminated) the reality show equivalent of the Red Sox comeback from 3-0 in the ALCS?

SG: I say no. For three reasons:


1. Any alliance built around loyality between three or more females was doomed to hell. Women can't trust each other in groups. Two of them getting along is hard enough ... but six? Please. You knew the claws would come out -- it was inevitable. Women are bred to stick together and eventually destroy one another. They're like pit bulls
<end snip>

And we women wonder why it's so hard to convince men that we are people. Guys who eat this shit up are sure getting plenty of tacit support for their male superiority beliefs. Fuck!! This guy apparently can't even imagine that women are members of the same species as his own dick-swinging self. Jesus, if anyone wrote this kind of wholesale reveling in the contempt-worthyness of ANY other group, they'd be shitcanned in a heartbeat. In fact, it's happened. Some sports shithead racially dissed a black player. One remark that was nowhere near the deep hate and disgust displayed by this guy, and its all over the news, and the shithead is history. Or the huge brouhaha years ago about Fuzzy Geller's "watermelon" joke concerning Tiger Woods being chosen to host some banquet event.

So, Fuck YOU Mr Sports writer "humorist". FUCK you and the special box seat you're sitting on, Mr. Rubbing Elbows With The Male Only Stars While Secretly Thinking About Boffing Their Hot Wives.

(not you WillPitt, the POS who wrote that)

2. So I take it you didn't find this funny.

I am beginning to appreciate some of the voices of concern I've heard in the Lounge lately. This is beginning to be a dangerous place to post.

4. Maybe you'd prefer the Sports forum?

5. If you read the article

it is much more about TV shows than sports.

6. I didn't read any further than the beginning of the url.

I don't particularly need a laugh. Got one already, thanks ;-)

8. well that certainly motivated me to contribute an opinion.

just resisted the urge to check my rape statistics vis a vis male athletes and go share that with them.

7. Hey WillPitt--

Sorry, I know I am too subtle sometimes. Raised to be polite, ya know.....I must work on breaking through my feminine reticence. Perhaps if I start by saying the words "fuck that shit" alot, I can begin to make progress. ;)

Loved the Mr. T pic, though. I wasn't expecting what the rest of the thing turned out to be.

You have to admit, if any other group of people were substuted in for <women/girls/females/cheerleaders>, no one would have any doubt as to whether or not that writer needs some anatomical adjustments. Or at least a new job sweeping floors at Mickey Dee's. Course, he could also get a job as a RW anything. He's good at aggrandizing one group by sneering at another.

Dangerous--frankly, I missed the particular posts in question, so I can't offer any opinions besides what I said on a couple threads.

3. I love Bill Simmons.
