    reading comprehension problems?

    Uh, folks who are complaining about this post, please read a little more carefully. The writer didn't leave out the women who are "die-hard soccer fans," and it wasn't she who was asking how women were putting up with the games; she was pointing out that once again, the mainstream media is trying to fit women into their predetermined stereotypes.

    Oh, and you guys who are whining about the sexy guys in shorts comment, ya know, a little objectification would be good for you. And if you're feeling insecure about unfair comparisons, all the better.
