Are You Ready For Some Football?

Despite their best efforts to minimize hard hits, the NFL is about to get concussed.

Stating safety reasons, NFL stadiums are employing new regulations this season.  I'm not hearing how men are being inconvenienced by these new regs.  They seem to be able to bring (a lot of) money for beer and food (have you seen the prices at the stadium these days?) and continue to enjoy the game.

But women, many of whom are actually football fans themselves, are being limited to a [clear] Ziploc bag and/or a "small clutch purse" (the size of their hand.  Generously the NFL allows them "with or without straps."  I guess they can't envision that anyone would be able to use straps as any kind of weapon.)

Separating women from their handbags is turning out to be more violent than any of the action seen on the field during pre-season and some are taking this very seriously (or at least very tongue-in-cheek:  My Purse.  My Choice.  Turns out they haven't registered the URL but if you'd like to support them you can tweet them at #mypursemychoice)
