Has anyone else noticed another lie routinely thrown around by the lamestream media during the Ray Rice/Roger Goodell uproar, namely that thanks to the NFL "reaching out" to women, females are now touted as "45% of the league's fan base."
Talk about a whopper! While there are many women interested in football, the vast majority of them are casual fans at best, wives and girlfriends of men who, sadly, live and die by their "home" team. Hard-core fans -- DWFs, fantasy football players, those that regularly listen to sports radio and read sports sections in newspapers -- are at least 95% men and probably more like 98%.
This is the same thing they're doing to video gaming. Women make up like 45% of video gamers now but that's only when you include casual games like Candy Crush and Angry Birds.
