You are right on the money.

Keep up your attitude BTW – it’s refreshing.

step 2. Because you will totally confuse a girl if you use the most basic of words to describe an extremely basic layout of the game.

P.S. I’ve only gotten to step 2 so far.

There are times that a guy says or does something stupid, and it makes men as a whole look so bad that you can’t distance yourself from it quickly enough no matter how hard you try. This article (apparently written by a woman with an attitude about women and their level of intelligence from before women were allowed to vote) is kind of like that. Kudos to you, Sportsgal, for distancing yourself from it as best as possible. My apologies to you for being lumped into a group that would think that way about their own kind.

and never realized it, probably because I wasn’t given cute Hawks earrings.

I’m so sick of these fucking stereotypes which are actually reinforced by dumb women.

And Sportsgal, I know it’s a horrible thing to abuse alcohol like that, but she deserves it (and more).

And if my husband dared to kiss me during a goal, he’d probably get his nose bloodied because I’d be dancing to Chelsea Dagger, arms flailing (sp?) wildly, jumping up and down.

If step one isn’t “show them a picture of Patrick Sharp” then the article fails.. seriously – that works every time

At a Hawks game “snuggling” beneath a blanket, I would probably be forced to ridicule them until they either: A) Left the Arena, heads hung in shame, or B) Tossed themselves over the side of the railing and landed in the Lexus AmEx Rolex Mercedes Natty Light level of the UC.

Not only does the bitch make women sound like mouth-breathing morons, but guys sound just as bad. Give us some fucking credit, will ya?

Share with her some of your favorite “insults” that you enjoy throwing out at the game.

Keep your opposing fan slurs to a bare minimum because she still thinks you never use words like that in public.

This article sucks…

Sam mentioned it in the Indian once about not understanding the need for the pink jerseys, and it brings up a valid point, as does this article: why treat women as second-class sports fans? We have a few women on here who seem to know just as much about the Hawks as any of the guys do, and there are quite a few more avid and knowledgeable hockey fans on Mirtle’s blog. We don’t need to make the game more accessible to women to make them like it, or treat them like they are 7. I spent much of this season having to battle my mother and two sisters for our season ticket, and it’s not because they think any of the players are cute or because someone bought them Blackhawks earrings, but because they enjoy the speed, action, and excitement of the game. I have several female friends who are hockey fans as well, and they have no need for pink jerseys as they could probably kick my ass with little difficulty. It’s 2009, and women aren’t idiots (case in point- they refuse to date me. Zing!), it’s time the sports world got on board and realized this.

That my daughter is one fuck of a lot closer to you than the idiot bitch from hell that wrote that miserable excuse of an article. My daily nightmare is that I end up with a daughter that is one of those Clueless/Buffy/Princess/BLLLEEEAARRGHHH.
I love your outlook, and the fact that you Love the Hawks is icing on the cake.
As has been posted before, so I wish to post again…

Rage on Sportsgal, Rage on.

You just cost me some brain cells!

I laughed.

to snuggle during a hockey game under a blanket…she might serve papers.

WHICH is one of the reasons I married her.

I spotted a contradiction in her weaksauce “advice” as well –
-Keep your opposing fan slurs to a bare minimum because she still thinks you never use words like that in public.
and, yet…
-Share with her some of your favorite “insults” that you enjoy throwing out at the game.

That’s one in the same you raging moron. I forwarded this article to my wife, and her response was simply, “Wow, just…wow.”

This is what we get for offering internet access to patients in ward 7. Just so you know, I’m a stay-at-home dad with a 3 yr. old and a 1 yr. old, and this type of stereotypical attitude permeates our culture from many angles. I’m pretty sure both my kids (boy & girl) appreciate the game with a lot more insight than this corndoofer.

I thought you were making a public appearance :)

would seriously fuck this idiot up…not only is she as knowledgable about the fine sport of hockey (She even guested on a PUCKCAST), but she likes her players tough (all time favorite: Messier).

I just had to pop in to respond to this. Just to clarify, and in my honest opinion, the writer of the article: ProWriter1, is a TROLL ACCOUNT.

Here are a couple of “articles of interest” written by this “author”:

1) How to Find Mr. Right of the Internet
2) How to Prepare Road Kill Appetizers
3) How to Get Fat
4) How to Find An Ugly Woman
5) How to Bring in the New Year Like a Redneck
6) How to Cook Like a Redneck
7) How to Become a “Trophy Wife!”
8) How to Write Your Own Wedding Vows (What?)
9) How to Decoupage a Bar Stool
10) How to Understand and Enjoy NFL if You Are a Woman

is clearly a Troll Account. The comments to these articles, are sarcastic, or from other trolls on the website- such as- “i wuz 126 lbs and i am now 398 lbs thanks to u!!” and " You are so right. We should never stop eating and constantly eating is the best way for someone to start .“getting fat” . I eat pretty much whatever is in the house!" written by accounts ilfat and letseat respectively.

Im sorry. But I felt the need to post this. Usually I post in the Blueshirt Banter, so hello from there.

I hate troll accounts. And the article you are all posting about, is one of the worst things I have ever read by a troll. Another one was (from Yahoo Answers) “Chicken Pox below the Belt”. These people are pathetic.
