Basically, sport tends to promote exaggerated versions of the traditional social notions of masculinity and femininity, so you wind up with sporting cultures that are either hypermasculine (football, hockey) or hyperfeminine (figure skating, gymnastics). Because of this, there is an inherent homophobia within sport, and furthermore, there is a presumption that any woman who participates in a masculine sport, and any man who participates in a feminine sport, must be gay. From there, it's one more leap of addled logic to suggest that the same holds for the fans as the athletes. It's stupid, but there we go.<br /><br />Duncan: Pro Hockey Life is the most wonderful place on Earth. I went to the one at Cross Iron Mills and walked out fifteen minutes later $120 short and wearing a Blackhawks third jersey. Kind of surprised they have a barber-pole third in lady cut, but that's pretty cool, anyway.Doogie2Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703778878103452453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-14522230433996305512009-11-02T16:18:34.978-07:002009-11-02T16:18:34.978-07:00A Habs fan behaving like a dick?

Anyway, I ...The league should hire you. Seriously.<br /><br />Anyway, I was in Mississauga yesterday at "Pro Hockey Life" to buy some equipment. This store is a crazy, warehouse-sized, hockey-only playground with a shooting range, boards, and the one of the best selections of NHL apparel I've seen. Guess what I found there? One of those Canadiens CHC barber-pole jerseys — in the old-skool, non-Reebok cuts — in a women's fit. So the pattern exists.<br /><br />Looked at the Flames area just in case, but no dice. You'll win this one, and deservedly so.duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433163316485435724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-35416406407662823332009-10-31T19:23:18.432-06:002009-10-31T19:23:18.432-06:00markbouw: (typo but it stays)

I hope your efforts get the league/apparel manufacturers on the stick. <br /><br />As for the quality of Yahoo's commenter base, I'd love to say I'm surprised, but that sort of nonsense goes on all the time, and not just at Puck Daddy. One of my favourite college football blogs is Dr. Saturday, also at Yahoo. Matt Hinton is a terrific writer, but his comment section is a cesspool. Wysh's is about the same.

I bet you ladies cut thirds are being made right now and will find their way in to the racks at the Fanattic before Xmas without a word to the public. When you ask, the answer will be, "Oh those! We just missed the box in the back."<br /><br />I went over and read the comments on puckdaddy. I know you've got some thick skin, but I would have never imagined so many people calling you an "idiot". And after all this time I was oblivious to your sexual orientation. The guys at the pub are going to be shocked and disappointed.
