Okay... but no. This reeks of sexism/xenophobia. I don’t recall this much outrage about Adam Levine & his shirtlessness. If we’re going to do all this hand-wringing about “family-friendly,” then y’all gotta get mad about these beer ads too... since that’s not safe for children.

Man, just having someone in the room who looks like you and relates to you makes a world of difference—even more so when they're in a position of authority. It helps in the classroom, it helps in the workplace, and it for sure would help in college football. SECONDED.
