    This proves the hardening and masculinization of American "women" in the corporate world. No sense of empathy or nurturing emotion, just a cutthroat mentality developed to overcompensate for her gender and lack of family life.

    When I'm watching a game on ESPN360.com and they're going to a sideline reporter I don't hear anything. I guess that's where this feed came from.

    "Get him off the field, please" is something to care about? :confused:

    That, and the "Come on!" after he sat up but stayed on the ground. It's very disrespectful to a player who is injured. You are supposed to sit there quietly and applaud when he leaves the field.

    Dorothy - This ain't Kansas. This is showtime baby. No one is going to feel sorry for you because you didn't attract attention from men growing up so you developed a variety of overcompensation complexes and insecurities... culminating in a masculine thought process.

    I honestly would like to have a discussion with someone who feels attracted to these kinds of women.

    Not at all.

    I'm just identifying what causes this "woman" to act the way she does.

    Could be. But that should not preclude her from having respect for the injured player in this regard. I think its reprehensible for anyone to say what she said, even "off camera".

    I don't think it was so bad. I'm sure Clyde has said much worse.

    Spot on. Problem is commentary still should not forego featuring females, but the listening public does not want anything different that an archetypal woman could provide. Having females adapt usually results in akward and sometimes funny moments. Ballers around the world get what I'm trying to say.
