Chicks Dig Football Too
Today, I was with a client, and she annoyed the crap out of me. She tried to be my friend, but offended me everytime she opened her mouth. She's an attorney who made certain of telling me that she graduated at the head of her law school class. I could've cared less. I wasn't their to learn about her life's history. I was there to do business.
She was probing into my life. She asked questions about my family. No problem. She asked me about school. I told her that I went to college. She asked, "In what state?" That puzzled me. I thought, "Why didn't she ask 'what school?' instead." I said, "I stayed home in Delaware." She replied, "You went to college here in Delaware?"
"Yes, I went to college here in Delaware.", I answered. Now a normal person would've asked the name of the college that I went to. She wasn't that bright...or maybe she just didn't care. I took it that she didn't give a darn because she ASSUMED that I went to a college that I didn't go to. Her response to me was, "You went to Del Tech right?"
That pissed me off instantly. I said, "No. I attended the University of Delaware. Why did you assume that I went to a community college?" She gives me a blank look and says, "I don't know. It was the first school to pop up in my head. I'm sorry if I offended you." The lack of sincerety in her voice was sickening. I know why she assumed that I attended a community college. First school to pop up in her head? Yea right...and the chinese invented soul food!
The Best Is Yet To Come...
I think she realized that she hit a nerve. She dropped the subject of schools. We began talking about politics & sports. She asked me if I liked soccer. I said, "I played soccer in middle school. I don't care too much for it now." She asked me if I've ever seen Bend It Like Beckham. I told her that I had seen the movie, and it was cool. She begins to profess her love for soccer. She goes on this rant about the differences between American Football & European Soccer (as if I didn't already know).
She claims that "We" as Americans, ruin sports. She begins to really dog American football. Before I could defend American sports, she said the most assisine thing that I have ever heard before.
She said, "Do you like football? I hope not. It's so rough. Any woman who enjoys watching the NFL should check themselves for testosterone."
WHAT!!!!!!
I was a bit taken aback by her statement. I said, "Pardon me?" She says, "Women who like football should have their femininity challenged." I was stunned. "They want to be so much like men.", she continued.
What a dumb broad!
I interjected with, "I love football. That doesn't make me any less feminine than you." Realizing that she has offended me yet again, she says, "Oh. I just don't understand it." I said nothing further. I wrapped up our business, and I left her office.
How dare she say that! What about those women who watch football just for the love of the game. They understand it & appreciate it for what it is. They don't want to be men, they just love the sport. I am a woman who loves football, and I am oozing with femininity! I am not masculine in any way shape or form. What is more feminine than watching a bunch of sexy men (in tights no less) be masculine? I love watching them hit each other, and gloat about it afterwards. That's a turn on in itself! And if the woman is lucky, she may even catch a glimpse of a player on the sideline without his shirt on. Lord Have Mercy! Thank You God for NFL Players!
Timi No Lesbo. She likes man coverage (that's football terminology for the sports inept). I'm too fine to go chi chi. My parents bestowed some good genes on me. I have to be fruitful & multiply. I can't let my mother's good looks go to waste. My folks worked overtime to make me, and it shows. I need to thank for my grandmother, who made my mother, for these looks.
Someday, I will marry a man and I'll have children. They will look like me, and people will say, "You are so pretty. You look just like your mother." My child will then say, "I know. Thanks grandma. Thanks alot for not marrying an ugly man."
I'm not vain or anything. I'm just saying...

that bitch is coco for cocoa puffs. I luv sports and have always grew up around it in my household. My mother played field hockey and basketball in high school. Even today being Super Bowl Sunday and all, its a huge event in my house. Everybody is getting their Eagles merchandise ready and we are preparing for a hellaluva game.
Second for her to assume that your just another black un-educated person is str8 up bullshit. F her, that ignorant sterotypical bitch! I wish i were you because i also wouldve pulled her card.

Co-signing with Ty. As much as you love football, I'm sooo surprised that you didn't slap the taste outta her mouth!! Wow, the things that come out of people's mouths these days?!

She's a dingbat. I LOVE football. All them sweaty mens running and when the camera shows them from behind I can't turn away. I love to watch their asses in those tights. Yep, drooool.
Sounds to me like she didn't know WHAT to say, so she just said something stupid. Okay, she said alot of stupid things. Hopefully you'll never have to converse with her again.
