re: Men read abusive comments made to women sports writers to their face

Like jerking off to the Erin Andrews video with Erin sitting there.

Women like these don't want equality, they want an advantage.

Rough video?


What a coddled society we live in. Some mean words from people they'll never meet in a medium that allows the inner a-hole to come out.

We have it too fricking good.
100 years ago young men were dying face down in the mud, having their brains blown out their asses and choking to death on poison gas, and this fat bitch is worried about hurt feelings?

We don't starve anymore.
Our sons and fathers aren't dying in droves.
Pestilence isn't sweeping its hand of death across hundreds of thousands of children.

These bitches are getting paid to write about people that get paid millions of dollars to play a game, from air conditioned rooms supplied with amenities the Kings of old would have dreamed over!

I wish they'd have to live a little in somewhere poor to get some fricking perspective.

Of course, if they did they'd probably be actually raped.

Maybe they'd shut their fat hog holes about mean tweets then.

It's the act of looking a woman in the eye and reading these. Hope you die? Hope you get raped. I think it was "raped again" which is even more terrible. You are now mocking the woman for the worst thing that has ever happened to her.

First of all, these weren't the people that wrote that stuff and second, these women agreed to this. If it was so damn traumatic, why would they submit themselves to it for a 3rd or 4th time?

Let me remind you that it was a group of guys that came up with the idea of the video and it was men who invited them to participate in it.

While ESPN’s Sarah Spain and I have received most of the kudos for the video, the credit really should go to the fantastic men at Just Not Sports. They are responsible for coming up with the idea, setting it in motion, and pushing it out to the world. All I had to do was sit in a chair and try to keep my eye makeup in one place.

Scoot over and give us a seat at the table. We’re smart and capable and are perfectly willing to speak for ourselves. We don’t need rescuing. Speaking on our behalf is just another way of silencing us.

Instead, support women’s sports. Read and share women sportswriters.

Teach your sons and daughters that women have a place in sports equal to men.

In the end, this conversation needs to be about the need for us — ALL OF US — to be kind to one another. There is nothing more fundamental to peace than the words we use. If you doubt the power of words, watch the #MoreThanMean video again and look in the eyes of the men struggling to say words that contradict everything they believe in. Words matter. The person on the other side of the keyboard matters. Remember: And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

More delusional bullshite.

I think it's horrible that folks write such disgusting things in the first place no matter who it's written to, but I would imagine male sportswriters such as Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless get some pretty foul/messed up letters/e-mails as well.
