Yes, powderpuff football is sexist in theory but to cancel it is a bit much. I agree with the student who said that it’s an opportunity for girls to play a game they normally don’t. It’s an opportunity for them to have fun for a good cause. It’s not degrading for girls to play football. It would be a different story if they were running around in bikinis but they are not. This is being blown way out of proportion.

My name is Corey Grenier and I currently work as the marketing and events manager at Seven Days in Burlington, Vermont. I have always been very passionate about empowering women, so as a marketer, I feel that it is my job to spread positive messages. That being said, I have created my alter ego "Rosie The Marketer" based off of "Rosie the Riveter," a famous women's rights image. I hope to empower women rather than degrade them through my blog.
