Did anybody or their wife go? The sip reporter Anwar Richardson is trying to slander our coaches.

My quote made it in to the Houston Chronicle article.

http://m.chron.com/sports/aggies/article/Two-coaches-suspended-after-Texas-A-M-s-chalk-8635826.php

It may not change things but I'm glad a quote against political correctness made the article.

There is just no way that is real, if so someone maybe multiple people have to be fired.

Keeper, it's all in good fun. This country is too politically correct.

I feel bad for the coaches. You don't want the material to be dry but the sip media pounces on every "opportunity". I still don't think it's a huge black eye for A&M because they clearly said "put down the Clorox & gloves" and have fun. If they had said "the woman's place is to clean up" it's an embarrassment. But they said the opposite!!! Such a tough spot.

That is so damaging to our brand, I don't support the PC agenda, but this will have an effect our ability to recruit top female students. And it reinforces a lot of the negative recruiting points about us.

It's real, and I agree with you. Time for some stupid people to lose their job. Anyone who saw it & thought it was ok needs to be removed.

Looks like Jason Cook is already in damage control mode. Maybe get rid of that bevel while you're cleaning house.

it was a comedy act, but with the power of the long horn media you've gotta be careful with your content. and apparently a few attendees weren't pleased either...

Yeah they need to be fired before it even hits the big press cycle, this has potential to get a lot of AirPlay as a ends of the spectrum piece.

First woman nominated for president but TAMU thinks women should be barefoot and pregnant.

Also if you are an Ag why share this on social media, address it with the presenters immediately

It's not just the football program it reflects on the entire university

Absolute embarrassment. Why does the A&M AD always shoot themselves in the foot. A simple we're glad you're here ladies here's what you need to know would suffice.

Looks like some new victims with 1st World Problems were made tonight. Some of those new victims appear to be on this thread. Get over it. The world has worse problems.

One of my clients went and she absolutely loved it! She thought it was hilarious as did a lot of other women there.

The met all the coaches, a lot of the players (including Knight) and had a great time. They even did football drills with them.

From what I'm gathering from someone who was actually there, this is being taken out of context and only represents a small minority of what was hundreds of women who had a blast.

I went. It was an awesome event. Was this speech a little borderline? Maybe, but it was meant to be funny and was definitely not meant to be offensive.

Someone needs to get over themselves.

There's a whole lot of millenials posting on this thread. Chill the eff out, it's just a joke. If that offends you, please never watch George Carlin, Chris Rock, or Richard Pryor

Does the world have worse problems? - Absolutely Yes
Was it meant as humor? - Sure
Is TAMU in the business of recruiting top tier female students? - Yes
Could this have a potentially damaging effect in that effort? - Given the wrong spin, obviously

Like it or not, organizations should be very careful with humor. People are more sensitive than they have ever been, but that is the world we live in.

"Times they are a changing." 50 years ago a presentation like this with racist overtones may have been considered funny by a majority of the members, it doesn't mean that we should be engaging in that type of humor as an organization.

Perception is reality in situations like this, the organization must always be concerned with it's brands,

Of course it's being taken out of context....and that's why and how it will be used against us.

I think it's piss poor. I'm no millennial but I'm married and have a beautiful daughter. This slide, context or not, pisses me off.

I'm married and I have a daughter and it doesn't piss me off. You'll be ok.

I enjoy George Carlin, Chris Rock, or Richard Pryor, but I would never put them on at professional event and expect everyone to be ok with it.

I also agree it was and will likely be taken out of context but that needs to be considered when creating materials for public consumption,

Nice, dismissive comment. Good for you to be so accepting of archaic, sexist stereotypes of women. Of course you see nothing wrong. I'm sure you'll be just fine if your daughter stands barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen all day while making sandwiches for her sexist husband who tells her that's her place in the world.

I can't tell if you are serious or not. If you are, may I suggest some blood pressure meds and some anti-hyperbole pills.

I'm not against the material at all personally, but I feel like the only people in this world anymore that know how to take a joke are the users of this site.

If I had to guess this was a woman's idea and she came up with the slide. It's a joke and it's funny. People should lighten up.
