Women who dislike football are stupid

[Swingstater]

When I first read this Pravda (Russian newspaper) article, I thought it was satire. But it isn't! The article is not posted in a section labeled satire or any other type of humor. Is this sexist or what? And by the way, I assume by "football" they refer to what we call Soccer. Read:

June 20, 2008
There are women who like to stir up big family scandals and fight when their husbands sit down to watch football. Such women are certain that football is the biggest evil in the world which has to be exterminated for good. They think that a company of men watching the game and drinking beer is a devilish ritual. They probably do not understand that every man always remain a little boy deep in his soul.

Statistics says that about 40,000 people died of extensive myocardial infarction during the recent 20 years of broadcasting football matches. It goes without saying that it would be better to let men scream, shout and swear at the top of their lungs. Let them yell how they want to slay a referee or a goalkeeper. A woman may use this opportunity to do something for her own pleasure – shopping, reading, etc. It would be stupid for women to see only the negative side of football.

7. A really great thing about this article is: it gives me (as a guy) a free pass on hating football

There's absolutely no denunciation of football-hating guys in it at all!

5. "Ten Ways Beer is Better Than Women." Front page article in a major Moscow...

daily paper when I lived there.

If Texas is rough on women and horses, Moscow is tough on women and cars.
