Here's another thing for you to chew on. What women make as compared to men is ON AVERAGE. There are plenty of women who make more than most men. But because most women aren't like you, and they believe in traditional family values, and that a mother should be home with her children, a lot of women don't really pursue a career, and thus they make less money on average. It has nothing to do with prejudice. Women have opportunities now that they never dreamed of a hundred years ago. But, just like the rest of the phony social justice movements, people would rather cling to the past so that they can have something to feel sorry for themselves about. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

That said, I really don't have any issue with any play-by-play or color announcer. To me they are nothing more than background noise sharing information while I am watching the game. |

That's fine if it doesn't annoy you. To each their own, and such. |

Re: I知 not sexist
So it should be except when the person is a woman. Apparently then you must enjoy her or you're sexist.
