What a load of bandwagon BS

[SamAdams76]

Seriously, these comments are going to force the sale of a billion dollar franchise? Hope the women enjoyed their time in the workplace cause it's going to come to a screeching halt soon. In the very near future women won't get a job anywhere near a man with a career or a business.

I see that happening too. Not that I want it to. Generally speaking, I like the women in my workplace and personally I have not had a problem with them. But the current climate in which a woman can destroy any man's career simply by lodging an unsubstantiated complaint - even from 40 years in the past - does not bode well for women in the future workplace. This makes every woman in the workplace a potential "ticking time bomb."

I'm not sure this is going to help women in the long run.

You mean Waco ain’t getting an NFL team?

*************

Last I heard all they could attract was the Davidians and some Motorcycle groups

[EdnaMode]

Yeah it’s gotten completely out of hand.

I’m a guy - but the “show me how you wiggle” is probably over the line. The other ones - to me - are just questions that comment on the gal’s tight jeans - which I imagine was her intention anyway - to be able to wear the tightest jeans possible. (Okay - I’m assuming that the woman is relatively fit, and not 100 pounds overweight - then those comments would also be extremely rude).

Although I guess I wouldn’t say them to a gal. Not that I haven’t said the wrong things to females once-in-awhile. But it is usually saying stuff like “Oh - it’s your birthday! How old?”

Most of those comments are pretty tame really. Jerry is an old school NFL veteran and statements like that were generally quite common ‘flirt’ talk in the old workplace.

Every smart owner can see the beginning of the end of the NFL as a money-maker.

And every smart season-ticket/psl holder can see the same thing for themselves. It used to be that these people could actually make money by reselling/scalping some of their tickets.

Those days are done.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

One possibly solution would be “Don’t hire females for your staff.” Er, let me rephrase that “Don’t hire females for your business”.

[Enlightened1]

We are watching a slow motion implosion of the NFL. It will probably take 15 to 20 years, but the NFL is dead.

Jerry is VERY WISE to leave it now.

The question is how many NFL teams will sell their franchise over the next 5 to 10 years? I bet at least 50% of them.

Jerry if very wise to get out while the money is still good.

[Artie]

Attention all you hedge fund owners! Time to get in on the NFL action. Raise ticket prices 5000%! Great times, liquor and pretty girls, all in private suites! Just like wall street.

[ontap]

Show me how you wiggle to get those jeans up. I bet you had to lay down on your bed to fit into those jeans. Did you step into those jeans or did you have to jump into them?

This is what passes as harassment.....give me a break!!!

Gee, I wonder if the lower sale price due to the afroturf protests was part of some kind of plan? Thanks EdnaMode.
