You pony up the $2.4 million (or whatever it costs these days to run a 30-second Super Bowl ad) and the NFL is going to put it on.

I actually thought the "throw like a girl" ad was pretty good. It always annoyed me that doing anything "like a girl" is considered an insult.

And Soros has plenty to pony up.

It is an insult if someone says that to you and you’re a guy.

If you’re a guy and throw like a girl, it is intended as an insult.

Throw like a girl is an insult when directed to a man. It is not when directed to a girl., unless she is a Women’s Softball League pitcher, then she still throws like a girl but a lot harder.

I agree, I think all of those should have been "Tell me what it's like to throw like Obama"

Back when I was growing up most girls threw a certain way and it wasn't good.

Perhaps most girls nowadays throw like Bob Gibson and Joe Namath, what do know.

I liked that ad. As a woman, I could always do many physical things as well or better tan a lot of men. And I grew up when boys weren’t taught to be feminine.

Why? I am a girl, and it does not annoy me. It should be considered an insult and motivation for the male in question to try harder.

My sons used to accuse me of throwing like a girl. My response always was - good thing, cause I am one!

When Sarah Palin coined the term “fight like a Girl”, she was soundly attacked by the Left.

Oh how the worm turns when the Lefties pick up the BTON.

It bothers me that a political interest group would have $4.5 mil to spend on an ad like this....seems that companies selling actual products should be there.

The other thing is that an unintended consequence is that girls will be pushed into athletics.

Really? I always thought Zero throws like a girl. And it’s not a compliment.
