[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It blows my mind that he doesn't realize how many of the fans in the stands are there because of working women. There are working women payimg for their own tickets. Many, probably the majority of the families who pay for NFL tickets would not be able to afford them without the help of a working woman. Working women are paying for NFL apparel and taking their kids to NFL promoted activities and signings and parades.

The NFL could not operate as successfully as it does if the majority of female Catholic school graduates stayed home without contributing to NFL sales. [/quote]

I feel like people are reading into the speech. His mom is a doctor! He knows many women obviously work...[/quote]
yes, and he's telling the women that their "vocation" really starts when they become a wife and mother.  So, you're a doctor or a supreme court judge or a CEO at a F500... bfd.  Your vocation really starts when you get married and have kids. [/quote]

Why are we supposed to care what some random football player thinks of our career choices? In the age of social media the wrong things go viral. It's so much performative outrage. His opinion does not matter in any way as the man is not a politician and doesn't own a business. It only affects his own family. We should care about men in Congress holding these views, and the real hurdles women still face in the workplace.[/quote]

I don’t care what he thinks per se.  Unfortunately he’s articulating an opinion that a disturbing number of voters want to impose on the rest of us.  [/quote]
