Women deserve better from MLB

I agree with all you guys. Can men be men, my goodness!!! We have to apologize for naturally producing testosterone. How many women play in the Major Leagues...NONE!! Stay out of the boys club if you don't want to see off-color antics. Men don't say S**TZ about men-bashing shows that I'm sure Babara Barker watches with her partner.

When women play MLB, then they can ask for equal treatment. It's a mans sport, played by men, and watched mostly by men.
Do we take it personally when you rip on us in your domain? Do we get upset when you ridicule how we wash the dishes? Scrub the tub? Clean the floors? No, we don't complain.

You got that right!!

I deserve better from a sports columnist.

Comparing a blow-up doll gag to lynchings? Yeah, I'd certainly see where you can equate the two...if you were an ignorant moron.

Just another hostile woman who really doesn't get it. Millions of other acts happen every day that are far more demeaning and hostile toward women. Pointing out something like this is a joke.

WOW! To gain so much attention these people must be world leaders, corporation board members or doctors...What no, no and no. Wait you mean to tell me all this fuss is about a bunch of jocks playing with blow up dolls and bats in their clubhouse - what is this county coming to!!!

Bingo!!!

I'm sorry. A columnist, who happens to be a woman, writes an opinion piece about blow-up dolls with bats up their rear end in a public workspace, which Major League locker rooms are before games, and the responses read like the Cro-Magnon filth some of you wrote? I would love to see all these testosterone knuckleheads react the same way if their daughter or wife had to deal with that in their workspace. "Deal with it, honey. It's the way of the world." You people are so pathetic. Bunch of miserable suburban losers that can't deal with the truth: You're sexist morons. See, being okay with this rationalizes how you treated the women at your bachelor parties and all the other stuff you've done to disrespect women. Because you can't deal with the fact that if your moms knew the truth they'd know you were scum. You and Ozzie Guillen are the same. Small-time punks with jobs and families who hide the truth about you. And to the poster who wrote about popping a woman in the eye, you'll get yours soon.

Mike, y'all sound like your jealous of the dolls. Did I hit a nerve???

No one asked the media to publicize the blow up dolls. It was a private club house joke. This is ridiculous. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Had the US womens soccer team done something similar with male blow up dolls would I be offened? Not at all. What a waste of ink.

As if male reporters are allowed in their locker rooms

Its obviously who's the "catcher" in your relationship. Get back in the kitchen b*tch

At first women complained because MLB was sexist, and wouldnt allow female reporters into the lockerooms. Now they are allowed in, and these lockerooms are not femenine enough. Maybe they should install tampax vending machines in there, and a basket for the reporters to dispose of their used ones.
And please stop with the "how would you feel if this happened at your daughters workplace". If my daughter chose to make a living covering sports, then this comes with the territory.

women in the locker toom should be prepared to smoke a bone or two.

Get back in that kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, like you should be.

Time for your testosterone injections Mikey! Wuss.

Hey, Barbara ... from one woman to another ... LIGHTEN UP! No woman saw the oh-so-offensive dolls; therefore, no woman was offended.

One news guy broke the story and then everyone had to report on it because it became 'news.' Well, guess what? It's not news! It was a stupid prank. Get over it!

The comments made here must be from white trash low lifes. From the comments I'm reading, I'm sure most of these guys do NOT have a decent relationship with any women. I can see them sitting in front of the TV, burping and passing gas and wondering why they can't find a good woman. SAD MEN on this post.

Some comments have been crass, sure. But this really was a stupid article over a stupid prank, don't you agree? I mean, everything really got BLOWN out of proportion!

JML
You're a smart guy and I respect you.

I wish you'd come over and comment on the Officer is not charged in the DUI that killed 2 young people thread.

Injustice!

this is a ridiculous story! I mean, women sportscasters and writers are not into emasculation and would not be bothered, from what I know of them.

They are the ones who occasionally enter the locker rooms, are they all up in arms??

No.

It's all in good fun -- as a professional female, I'm not bothered.

Who's filing for sexual harassment? NOBODY.

It's FUNNY.....we need to laugh more and appreciate our differences more.....

(OK...I'll take that off)

we had a natter on the LP field/Latin School forum)

I usually agree with your posts.

A fan,
