Whereas, half-naked cheerleaders jiggling themselves into an ecstatic lather over brutal physical combat is just what Dr. Spock ordered.
Oops. I spoke before thinking. No, I don't agree with you. They were both in poor taste, but the half-time entertainment was in less poor taste than the game itself.
Bottom line is that they are my kids, they are my responsibility. That's what this controversy is about.
It isn't about what Dr. Spock or donh would approve of or not approve of.
The "hue and cry" is from normal people that have kids that are ticked off about nipples during family viewing hours. They have the right to free speech and they are voicing their opinion.
That you disagree with them about their outrage and/or their perceptional differences between a football game and an exposed nipple is absolutely irrelevant.
Don't you feel it is a little elitist on your part to presume to tell other people what they should or should say? Even after you have made your opinion know to them (which is your right to free speech) and they say, sorry I don't agree with you...isn't it arrogant to say that haven't debated you properly? Citing Dr. Spock, as if he is the only person that ever wrote a book on raising children, is supposed to be your intellectual sledge hammer to convince someone that you understand raising kids better than they do?
Come on, don. You raise your kid(s), I'll raise my kids. You don't watch football on TV, I will. Who knows? Maybe our kids will meet someday and iron out the differences.
Interesting discussion.
