That being said, Slezak has absolutely no right to make generalized statements about the Sox players and the organization because of something SHE was offended by. I could read your article and say you and everyone that enjoyed this article is sexist because I was offended, but obviously (hopefully) I’d be wrong. She has every right to express her feelings about the dolls, but she has absolutely no right to make assumptions about an entire group of people because of it. Especially via such shitty journalism. Because of articles like this, where one person overreacts to a situation, we now get to hear it from every sports publication and television show, where douchebags like Mariotti can suddenly label himself the most pure, non-sexist male columnist in the land because it’s cool to hate the Sox over these dolls. It’s “journalists” like Slezak and Mariotti that give US the reason to judge all of THEM. You wanna talk about setting an example, Carol? Try to do a better job of not making me think all female reporters are over-reacting twats.

But, damnit, this is America, and I support your right to be offended by anything, as long as you’re not Carol Slezak.

I feel that having a blow up doll being ass rammed by a baseball bat does represent a sort of chauvanism that I would not want my baseball team condoning. I don’t think Ozzie should have to go to sensetivity training or anything I just feel like it is kind of a dick move. Furthermore when you add this to his recent comments about Chicago sports fans, Ozzie is coming off as not only a perpetual dick, but as a kind of a cold, hateful, prejudice, bitter man. Now don’t get me wrong this blow up doll thing should not cost him his job, but just think to yourself is it really “cool” to have blow up dolls with bats in their vage’s.

And finally I do disagree slightly but I am in NO way calling you guys sexist pigs for not agreeing with me… just terrible people.

Jaykay, great site Kerm.

“You’re sexist.”

Labels are so much easier.
