She's actually called it "sexist, homophobic, and demeaning to women"!!!

Now, how exactly is it demeaning to women???

I think that it shows how STRONG women are -- after all, doesn't this say that women can be big, burly football players???

What it is probably saying in "football" lingo is that their competition plays like girls. Big deal.

I am in the camp that believes that PINK gives the opposing team the edge if it is to be considered a female color! Like my DD and I say, girls rule and boys drool!!!

Iowa has its homecoming game tomorrow against the Illini (that's Illinois, for those of you not from the Midwest or the Big Ten), and I'm sure the visitor's PINK locker room will get lots of publicity . . . probably more so than the game itself!!!

It's not even that pink. I was expecting some screaming hot pink or magenta. Just silly. This whole thing is a waste of time.

Yeah, it will get publicity because on top of everything else, it's the Native American mascotted visitors are subjected to pink urinals.
