Is being a jerk a suspendible offense? I could see the same conversation happening at my work and no one complaining at all. People need thicker skin and shorter memories.

These threads crack me up.

I wonder how many of my co-genderists would tolerate someone speaking to their wife/mother/daughter this way. But in this context, it’s her issue, she brought it on herself (’how’ she did that is not explained in the story, but because she’s a chick on the sideline of a male only sport, clearly she’s at fault).

I note also that no one on the thread (or any threads like it) call for the elimination of the oh so babe-alicious cheerleaders. But they know their place - shake their feminine attributes for the enjoyment of us watching on TV - but with the sound down so we don’t have to listen to the wimmen reporters.

And really? Some would rather view the sweating, steam rising off the head of a 350 pound interior lineman than listen to/look at an attractive female talk about something perhaps only tangentially related to the game?

funny times.

IMO the blame may lie on both sides of the ball on this one. I don’t condon Franklin’s remarks but neither to I condon Edwards running to the boss. She handled it badly I think. Her response should have been along the lines of “I don’t appreciate that remark and you are better than that. Please don’t do it again. Okay?” If Franklin failed to honor her request then it would be time to go upstairs.

JMO and obviously yours differs.
