[staunch guy]

You say we can ask you anything, right?
Now tell me, when djd football become such sports for puritanism? First Janet Jackson, and now flack for Monday Night Football because we saw a woman's naked back? And do you think that the flack is racially motivated....you know, a black man and white woman?

Help....

What would the reaction be if the girl was black?

Staunch Guy and Mensa K,

I don't think it's racially motivated, I think it's stupidly motivated (or shall we say, hypocritically motivated).
Apparently, it's OK to run ads in football promissing men - if they're lucky - four hour erections, but not OK to air a dumb promo showing Nicolette Sheridan's back exposed in a scene that suggested she was standing naked in front of a football player.
Is he a virgin - what am I missing here, eh? And don't start talking to me about the kiddies. You think kids haven't seen a woman's back before?

Well, that's my take on the whole hoopela, while not denying the fact that some people might be blowing it out of proportion to fan their racist ego (you never know with human being) the underlying reason isn't racism but stupidity and hypocrisy.
