Now don't get all hurt, I was just poking fun at something I see as a very, very small issue. You just got in the line of fire, voluntarily. We live in such an oversensitive world, just about anything is grounds for offense. If somebody gets bent out of shape because it is called Football 101 for women, or whatever it is called, I can't say I really care, nor do I think a person who is going to be truly offended is likely to ever be a supporter of any athletic program. JMO. I hope I didn't offend anybody, wait I mean anyone, oh wait, what's the inclusive PC term when you wish to include all living sentient beings?
You should care. You've made this an issue about society being too sensitive, but that's not it. It's about (as I've said repeatedly) being smart in outreach programs.
I've watched this fanbase get all up in arms because they're not respected by the AD, that the department's vision isn't clearly enough articulated, that parking tickets are issued during practices (when folks are illegally parked) and that bike racks are inconveniently placed. I've seen a whole bunch of whiny when it comes to how the AD interacts with the public.
But when there is what some consider to be a misstep in engaging women the response is "**** them".
My girlfriend is pretty hard to offend.
A few Christmases ago she sent a card and check to my 17-year-old nephew. She knew that card would be opened in the presence of my Mom and Sister (who love her, by the way). My family doesn't miss a Sunday at church, ever.
In the card she wrote: "Do not use this money for hookers." And to emphasize her point, on the check she additionally wrote "not for hookers".
That's a little background.
When I told my girlfriend that CU AD was running a class called "Football 101 for women" she responded with, "Whoa! What the ****?!! That's stupid."
I'm pretty much to the point of believing that posters on this site are willfully refusing to see how it might be offensive because it somehow makes them feel good about themselves.
