As much as we love her, some mid-west people I deal with talk about her like she's the worst person in the world.

That's because of one thing and one thing only - how she has been framed by media using their perception of her social and political views. I'm convinced that is the issue. There is a corner of the sports media world, particularly print media journalists, that take bits and pieces of what she says (or in some cases doesn't say) or has said in the past and completely paints her with a broad brush, when I suspect based on what I hear from a lot of the commentators of the game and ex-players, is a totally mis-framed version of who this woman is. The fact that people these days can't separate political views and personal feelings is a true tragedy of the media age.
