Cris Collinsworth is facing backlash for saying he was “blown away” by some women’s knowledge of football during Wednesday afternoon’s broadcast of the Steelers-Ravens game, which aired on NBC.

“Everybody’s a fan, in particular the ladies that I met,” he said during the second quarter. “They had really specific questions about the game and I’m like, ‘Wow.’

Whew, I thought it was something terrible, like calling a woman pretty.

I'm no great fan of Collinsworth, but Geez.. The guy is giving his opinion. His experience. His reaction. Maybe, in his experience, twenty or thirty years ago, women were not as sophisticated in their knowledge of football. Now they are. He's impressed. Not exactly Hunter Biden knocking boots with his underage niece....

Yup. I am convinced it is part of the LIBERAL female agenda to make men uncomfortable, limit employment to physical labor, and therefore reduce any competition in jobs especially office/white collar positions.

From September: “I feel like I have to start off by saying I stand behind these players 100%, 100%. What they’re trying to do is bring positive change in this country that frankly is long, long overdue. Let’s just get that out of the way and go call a football game,” Collinsworth said.

No different than when women are surprised at guys who can cook.

That's a fact!

You know what I find offensive?

That multi-millionaires continue to get paid multi-millions of dollars to play a stupid game and multi-billionaires watch them play from their ludicrously lavish "suites" in stadiums paid for by the very taxpayers who are not only not allowed inside the stadium that their taxes paid for, but they can't even engage in the enterprise that generated the taxes that were turned over to the multi-billionaires.

Didn’t Joe Biden announce his entire press office will be women? How many who’ve transition one way or the other?

How many fluids in the office?

How many, Joe?

The women who were ‘offended’ are not football women.

Most women dont follow football.

They follow stuff that have feelings and emotions and craptacular “drama” and tradcon men and victimized women and all that bs

Far, far, far more than football

Collinsworth is too mid-West nice.

Should’ve told the offended woke journalists to kiss his grits.

And many women that “follow” football are just pretending to in order to snag a guy. Appearring to be interested in what the guy is to spend time with him and make him think they are super compatible.

When they captured and married all that stuff starts to go away.

Oh i never really liked football that much. We’re going over to my friend Sheila’s this sunday.

He probably isn’t sexist. But he IS stupid.

I never liked his commentary. He never had a good thing to say about Brady. Year after year, the Pats would win their division and many times go to the AFC championship. We always got Collinsworth for our games. And he always had great thing to say about the other team.

I understand not fawning on the best team in the league, but he was a douche.

If he gets fired over this, it isn’t warranted.

Doesn’t Chris know that whites are the new jews in the Democrat Nazi party?

But don’t let that mislead you.

Jews are still Jews to the Democrats!

It doesn’t matter to the Democrats that Jews are still Leftist generally.

Democrats still hate them.

He should have tongue-lashed them for a few minutes, just to prove the good sport he is, then demanded to be "blown-away" in no fewer than ten minutes (lock the booth door at this juncture) and call the whole thing a great coming together of the sexes!

Hell, I'd kneel for that one.
