Debbie Schlussel: Fine Whine of the Week: No Women in Harris/BCS Football Poll

By Debbie Schlussel

This week, we are giving out the Fine Whine of the Week award early. We simply don't believe anything will top the whines of AP, Detroit Free Press, L.A. Times, etc. that there are no women in the Harris Interactive College Football Poll, which is now part of the BCS. There were women in the larger pool, but the 114 voters were selected at random, with no women chosen.

Why is this a problem? The poll decides college football rankings for bowl games and the like. How many female college football players are there? None (unless you count a few litigious kickers who played at places like Duke and University and Colorado, then sued for alleged discrimination, alleged rape, etc.).

This is just the latest in the never-ending whine of feminists who know little about sports but want to assert themselves everywhere they are not wanted, whether it is in the announcing booth calling football games, coaching men's basketball teams, etc.

Somebody, please, make it stop.
