"Extinct cowboys. Broncos with no buck left in them. Hairless men. Female entrepreneurs. The evidence is all there. Keep it up, NFL."

"Ten thousand more Super Bowls and we'll be even."

Hanna Rosin does the math in an item titled "Our First Feminist Super Bowl."

It was one of the worst football games I've ever seen, and the commercials were disconnected from anything resembling the daily reality I know and live in this country.

You'll only be truly even when you can fertilize your eggs without the participation of a male. Not that you won't try, of course.

"Ten thousand more Super Bowls and we'll be even."

If this is the first feminist superbowl than you only need XLVI to be even. Assuming that the unit we're using is "Superbowls" rather than some kind of resentment phlogistons.

"And surely I’m reading too much into it, but isn’t one message you can take away from the Chevy Silverado commercial that the cowboys are a dying breed because only the cattle are doing the breeding?"

Yes! Indeed! Reading too much into it!

What in the Hell is wrong with this woman?

some day, this pendulum will swing back the other direction (or a different direction altogether - she's a WHITE female, right?). Then people like Hannah Rosin might regret some of the crap they are spewing right now.

The NFL as a product is excruciating to deal with over an entire season. The Super Bowl by way of extrapolation is the penultimate flush. Bring on the Tidy Bowl.

She needs to ride a cowboy to save a horse.

Retributive change. It was inevitable. Some women are just as prone to power trips as are men. I wonder how the collapse of civilization correlates with women's progressive expression of lust for sex, money, and ego.

Nothing will be "even" until the Browns get to the Superbowl.

"Our First Feminist Super Bowl."

Knew there had to be an explanation why it sucked so bad.

This is another of those "What the hell is she talking about ?" articles. I need an interpreter.
