People Seeing Red Over Pink Locker Room

[MorganGrayson]

I agree, Selena. I'm no expert on this, but I imagine not all "visiting team" locker rooms get a total makeover with spiffy new paint and tile, no matter what the color. The temptation to give the "visiting team" crap must be overwhelming.

And I think the ladies should just gear down about what's sexist and what isn't. Pink is just a frigging color and in and of its self has no value other than what a bunch of hysterics decide to assign to it.

Equal money for both female and male sports teams would be a much better use of this woman's obviously free time than ranting about the color of the locker room.

And as for it indicating "homosexuality"? I thought lavendar had that honor.

arent they the ones promoting the stereotypes by saying that having a pink locker room is gay and offensive?


If you're against stereotyping, wouldnt having a pink locker room be a non-issue?

Plus I love the idea of a football team getting sicked up in a pink locker room, it's a great image

I think you may have aimed that remark a little high up the intellectual food chain. Yes, they are, but they'd just shriek at you for pointing it out; accuse you of being "an insensitive male;" and possibly cause you to use "one of those words."

A nice, sane, rational reaction to the remodeled locker room would be "ooh, this is nice...no toxic mold shit like the last place we suited up...let's go play ball!!!" (Which is probably the reaction of the visiting teams, by the way. Notice how they are not quoted in this article.)
