DESCRIPTION:Football is the most popular sport in the country, and one of our most 
 popular forms of entertainment, period. Like it or not, football culture 
 has an enormous influence on our ideas about what it means to be a man, and 
 what it means to be a woman. In this world, real men are strong and fast 
 and exert their power through dominance. Women are their trophies, 
 cheerleaders, or cute girls in the stands, as long as they don't get out of 
 line.\n\nWe're being sold a deeply toxic version of masculinity, one that 
 defines itself not only in opposition to female-ness, but as inherently 
 superior, drawing its strength from dominance over women's "weakness," and 
 creating men who are happy to deliberately undermine women's power.\n\nNone 
 of this is inevitable. The media (and the NFL is included in that category, 
 as producers of entertainment) can only sell us the status quo as long as 
 we keep buying it. If you value women as fully equal human beings at least 
 as much as you value your home team, the next play is yours.\n\nJaclyn 
 Friedman is a writer, performer, and activist, and the editor of the hit 
 book Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World without Rape 
 (one of Ms. Magazine's Top 100 Feminist Non-fiction books of All Time). Her 
 latest book is What You Really Want: The Smart Girl's Shame-Free Guide to 
 Sex and Safety.\n\nNamed one of UTNE Reader's "50 Visionaries Who Are 
 Changing Our World", Dave Zirin writes about the politics of sports for The 
 Nation magazine. He is their first sports writer in 150 years of existence. 
 Winner of Sport in Society and Northeastern University School of 
 Journalism's 'Excellence in Sports Journalism' Award, Zirin is also the 
 host of Sirius XM Radio's weekly show, Edge of Sports Radio. He co-hosts 
 the radio program The Collision: Sports and Politics with Etan Thomas & 
 Dave Zirin.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2015/04/08/18770908.php
