Will this comic feature any female Blockhams who support Michigan football? Judging by the character descriptions the Mom is a nag, the female child cries which ruins football watching and grandma is resigned to tolerating football cause she has too. Would like seeing this on the front page alot more if it showed a woman liking football too instead of going the stereotyped route.
I have been an almost daily lurker for the last 5 years. Also happen to be female. This thread and the referenced one have finally forced me to create an account. Just wanted to chime in and say that I really appreciated the intention behind the original post, and not just because I am really sick of the asscheek avatar.
In my opinion this site has been one of the best sports sites out there as far as the boys club crap goes. Yeah you get the occasional women suck - boobs are awesome and marriage is death stuff (see latenight btb above) but thats easy enough to ignore. For the most part mgoblogs been a great place to read and learn about football and be an obsessive fan, even if I don't post myself.
I always took pride in the fact that Michigan's premier football blog was classy enough not to have NSFW pictures all over the place. Lately the NSFW content has seemed to increase. Maybe its new posters, maybe its what happens when your team isn't playing well and you need something else to talk about, and maybe its that the Michigan fanbase has finally lost their minds after the last four years. But I have noticed the increase and been turned off by it so I appreciate stephenrkass's appeal. And it bugs me more because I surf this site at work and worry about people seeing my screen than because the NSWF pics hurt me in the feminism, although to be fair both reasons apply.
So if you folks would consider the female fans of this sight when posting NSWF pictures instead of bitching about stephenrkass's marriage or whatever that would be great. If not please go ahead and neg me, bitch about my post format, argue that I am not really female, call me a troll, whatever. Just recognize that there are in fact women who are Michigan football fans who read this site who are annoyed by this stuff.
