On one hand, the NFL obviously does so much trying to promote the game to women, with Breast Cancer Awareness month and all the other outreach they do.

Then they shoot their selves in the foot when a team does the single-highest guaranteed contract in the history of the NFL to a player with 22 sexual harassment/assault allegations against him. How do you expect to gain female fans when teams show their words are just hollow.

So glad we passed on this one and/or he didn't want us.

We have a very male perspective on this NFL out reach I'd love to know more on what females think about it. Anecdotally I know my wife can't stand the NFL and doesn't watch it any more. She returned for a brief moment when Ray Rice was shit canned for domestic abuse and then the following seasons the NFL started going soft and giving slap on the wrists and she was out again.
