Men’s Health Magazine offends with tweet about female sports fans
The magazine apologized after a social media firestorm regarding an article and tweet suggesting ways men can discuss sports with women.
It’s been said that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but that same fury exists when women are told they don’t like to watch sports.
That was the lesson Men’s Health learned after tweeting a link to an article titled “The secret to talking sports with any woman” Monday night. The tweet received quite a backlash from female sports fans as well as men who thought it, and the article, were misogynistic.

The article, which has since been deleted, read:
Not all women share your passion for sports, in case you hadn’t noticed. The reason? They need story lines.
