Troy Aikman is under fire following a controversial remark uttered on the “Monday Night Football” broadcast of the Chiefs-Raiders game.

While discussing a questionable roughing the passer call in the first half after Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones hit Raiders quarterback Derek Carr from behind, Aikman remarked, “My hope is the competition committee looks at this in the next set of meetings and, you know, we take the dresses off.”

Though the call itself sparked outrage – given there had been another controversial roughing the passer penalty just one day prior involving Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett – Twitter users called out Aikman over his choice of words, which some had deemed “sexist.”

I recall about 40 years ago, Hall of Famer Jack Lambert was quoted as saying “pretty soon they’ll have the quarterbacks wearing skirts.” Nobody took offense, he was just commenting on some rules changes about protecting the passer. How swiftly politics degenerates culture.

If he apologizes I lose all respect. Never apologize.

Just wow. I quite agreed with Aikman when he said it. Laughed my head off.

How can this be a sexist remark? According to the liberals, men and women can wear dresses.

So that’s a problem?
Compare to the language of drill sergeants in the 50’s.

He’s not the first by any means to say something like “take the dresses off and play ball.” Ditka wanted to take off dresses and face bars decades ago and NOBODY heaped krap on Iron Mike.

Does this mean we can’t say “he throws like a girl” anymore?
