so...womenz just don't know from sports
I read some drummed up phony righteous indignation crap about how Obama has this good ole boys thing going on because (gasp) he plays basketball with other men.

I know it's shocking.

I suppose my dad is an awful sexist for playing poker with the boys too.

Anyway one of the items listed as proof that Obama and his inner circle are running a boys club is the frequent use of sports metaphors.

What? Ok granted we womenfolk may not let oh say the fact that the Panthers are crap totally ruin our lives, but that doesn't mean that we don't play sports, watch sports, and/or understand sports.

Plus I'm pretty sure that these sports metaphors are very rudimentary "9th inning two outs bases loaded" or "4th and goal" types of things. I really doubt anyone is comparing anything to the infield fly rule or "look we have a hold in the end zone here people, that is clearly a safety"...

bitch please title iv was a long time ago I thought we were past this sort of nonsense

I suppose next we'll be fucking shocked by the language in the Whitehouse and lord knows what will happen if we get a taste of the devil's fire water.

What's with all the @#%! language?

President Barack Obama called rap star Kanye West “a jackass.” Vice President Joe Biden told a senator to “Gimme a f—-ing break!” Economic adviser Christina Romer declared that Americans had yet to have their "holy s—-” moment over the economy.

Those who pay attention to political rhetoric say an unusual amount of profanity has emanated from this White House – even without counting famously colorful White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. But before this statement becomes fodder for yet another partisan debate (with conservatives saying Obama is disgracing the presidency, and liberals that the media are once again being unfair), they quickly add that Team Obama is no crasser than administrations past. It’s just that they are being quoted more accurately.


No link provided for a sh@# article.

7. Kanye West is a jackass
Hey it isn't like POTUS lied.

There was also some blathering about the idea of a beer summit, because everyone knows that women don't drink beer.

12. When the Patriots lost two weekends ago, my Sunday WAS messed up.
And I am a big baseball fan. Many women like sports and watch sports and get sports metaphors. This is the media being bored and trying to make a controversy where there is none.

15. I am a woman who doesn't like sports, BUT I do understand the metaphors because
I've heard them so often and am surrounded by men who do like sports. Are we women so simple minded that we can't understand something we don't necessarily chose to surround ourselves with?
