"What Women Think"

or, Why Brett Favre is no Ben Roethlisberger.


Christine Brennan, on Good Morning America now with George Stephanopoulos, notes that 44 percent of NFL fans are women, and so the Brett Favre allegations are being taken seriously because the NFL cares "what women think."

As a woman, can I say -- Christine Brennan does not represent my way of thinking.

If the Jets "reporter" who received these messages and photos isn't complaining -- it was another who allegedly sold the material to the new media -- then why pursue such nonsense?

Because it's work related? Because the woman, who parlayed her looks into media work, was a contractor for the Jets, where Favre was also employed? Bull Roar.

This is silly, empowering women to expect special treatment. Labeling as "harrassment" anything that has to do with sex. Picking up on private matters -- remember, nobody complained then or now -- and acting as though we are somehow working towards Pink progress, by painting sexual women as innocents who can't handle an allegedly unsolicited picture or voice message.

You want to know, NFL, what women think? I'll play...

For God's sake, make your donations, do your publicity, but get rid of the Pink shoes and ballcap brims and everything pink you're inserting into the game this month on behalf of breast cancer. Gaaag!

I didn't like it when half the comics in my Sunday paper went Pink for the cause this past week, and I can't stand seeing these players forced to play along in Pink because the NFL has made some sidedeal with the Pink corporate interests...

That's what I think.

More football, less pandering to the ladies. Christine Brennan doesn't speak for me, and the big-bosomed FSU woman in the cowboy hat who allegedly was harrassed by Brett Favre?

Something tells me she's a big girl, and can handle herself, having seen a penis picture before. Putting that kind of sexual play into the same suspendable category as what Ben Roethlisberger allegedly did (his NFL sentence even later reduced for "good behavior") ... that doesn't help women at all.

In fact, it sends just the opposite message really. Seeing as though Rothlisberger's alleged victim actually complained about a rape and all.
