Hey children, I think winnar is as much a troll as the rest of you do, but he hardly made this a left/right issue.

You mean other than his gratuitous, irrelevant mention in the last paragraph of his OP?

I wonder if and when the left will regret building up the PC movement. Hopefully he tells them to go pound sand; A broken clock is right twice a day after all.

He's correct - PCness is generally a liberal idea, and its ironic that the liberal President is being attacked for his PCness.

If you'd read the rest of the paragraph, he even backhandedly agrees with Obama.

Come on guys, get a grip, I can't believe you're making me defend winnar.

I'm surprised you make it to the end of his posts

Winnar's first bipartisan post? I'm impressed. Unfortunately, the subject matter isn't worth a hill of beans. It is either a non-issue, or one that too few actually care about.

In my case, I just hate basketball in general. Male or female. :|

Madness

As the father of two athletic daughters, President Obama should know all about the importance of sports for women and girls.

Which is why he should have filled out not only a men's NCAA tournament bracket but also a women's tournament bracket in his well-publicized appearance on ESPN last week.

I realize the men's tournament is much more popular than the women's, and Obama is a big men's hoops fan and avid player, but the fact remains there is another top-notch college basketball tournament going on at the same time, and he absolutely should have acknowledged it.

He also should have insisted on saying his bracket was for the "men's NCAA tournament."

Those who don't use that pesky little adjective ? and you know who you are ? are acting as if there's no women's tournament at all, or it's so beneath them, it's not worth mentioning. This is rather silly. It is 2009, after all.

While we're on the subject of adjectives, why do some schools still insist on calling their women's teams "Lady" this or "Lady" that? Is there any men's team out there that calls itself the "Gentlemen" (add the nickname)? Of course not. The best-known of the tea-and-crumpets set is the Lady Vols, who were upset by Ball State Sunday night in a tough, bruising, very unladylike game.

Defenders claim the use of "Lady" is tradition. It might be that, but it's also degrading and entirely unnecessary.


I wonder if and when the left will regret building up the PC movement. Hopefully he tells them to go pound sand; A broken clock is right twice a day after all.

Wow, must be a slow news day. There is nothing of substance to bash Obama on, so you dredge some rediculous issue like this up to complain about?

You know you come off lie a total douche dont you? :disgust: Its bad enough to even give something this stupid a thought... but to actually take time to create a post about it... lame. Really really lame

Even as somewhat of an Obama fan, I have to realize many females have every right to feel dizzed that Obama failed to fill out a woman's NCAA bracket.
In my case, my Alma mater and only dog in the fight in the men's NCAA basketball tournament just lost last night, meaning my only remaining dog in the fight is the woman's team who are still alive and well for at least one more game.

Gotta agree, Obama should have seen it coming, maybe he will wise up Next year or delegate Michelle. And if Michelle does better in her picks than Barack does, it may be a win win win, and a good boost for woman's athletic programs.

I understand why Harvey and others need to attack Winnar, but he didn't write this article.. USATODAY did.. He was just posting it here. I think winnar's point was that its ironic that the feminists are going after Obama now.. live by the sword, die by the sword..

USAToday only published a commentary. It doesn't mean USAToday backs that commentary, merely gave a forum for one of their editor's views.

Its a Wingnut666 post, with those type of partisan blinders on EVERYTHING is a left/right issue.

Here comes the angry, white guy: Crying about the left and baffled that nobody can see what is perfectly obvious to him.

Winnar doesnt have a Point, and isnt here to make a point... He has but one purpose here, and making points isnt it. Anyone that has been on this forum for more than 2 weeks knows what winnar's purpose here is.
