Honestly, I am guilty of falling asleep in the Hard Rock Stadium before...but my tickets were waaaaaaay cheaper.

I'm not, but not that there's anything wrong with that.

That was more about the little confrontational jabs that Muck has been throwing my way lately, for no apparent reason. It's just odd.

what are you even talking about, man? My life is way too busy to play "confrontational Internet jab" with anyone.

You can definitely tell around here who doesn't have daughters.

If you took the ad literal then you're absolutely right, however that's missing the point. The real point (in my eyes at least) isn't women literally on an equal playing field, it's equal opportunities and access, equal quality of facilities, etc.

Equal pay though, that's economics, you either bring it or you don't. Right now women's sports (for the most part) don't. However, current trends continue the women's soccer team may close that gap lol

Aren't opportunities and access driven by economics as well. There are ample opportunities for little ladies to play softball or cheer, because there is money in those sports. Volleyball as well. Quality of facilities is just a dumb argument. Economics are what pay for those facilities.

Economics may pay for facilities at the collegiate+ level but access to safe, clean facilities and opportunities for girls at youth ages is also a huge problem.

And I'm too lazy to find statistics right now but I'd be willing to venture the access and opportunities for "little ladies" to play softball and cheer as kids is WAAAAY less than the opportunities for boys to play baseball, basketball and football, especially when it comes to those in lower socioeconomic areas.

Edit to be on topic: I actually didn't love the commercial either. I agree with the message but just didn't think the commercial was well done or landed the message the way they'd hoped.

I would have been ok with the half time show if it would have been britney or kate....those latinas are too hot for prime time.

Yeah about the US soccer women gritching about that pay gap. You notice how quickly that story and outrage went away? Right about the time this came out....

So far this is winning.

The lack of bear man makes ruins this commercial

Oh I was aware of that, the joke was our men's team is in the bottoms and the women draw way better than the men do now

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

I think we mostly agree, but may have some differences in how we define "opportunities." I think the fact that low socioeconomic areas have less access proves my point that this is all economic driven. Yes, nice softball/little league fields tend to be in nice areas. They charge more in those areas and also benefit from more sponsorships and donations. Cheer facilities are also located in higher income areas for the same reason.

Basketball does well in low socioeconomic areas due to endorsements from big companies like Nike, Adidas and others pumping money in.

My only real issue with your post is that your complaint is broad and I have no idea what you solution would be.

Probably a better discussion for the pol board so if you would like to reply, I'll give you the last word.

I agree with the message too. If I had a little girl I would do whatever I could to give her the opportunity to play sports if that is what she wanted.

It was even worse before I edited it.
