Subject: ABC/Eagles "Apologize" For Monday Night Football Fiasco
Written By: Indy Gent on 11/17/04 at 10:07 am
If you haven't read or heard about it, the MNF promo at the beginning shows Desperate Housewives' Nicollete Sheridan in nothing but a towel invading the Eagles' locker room with nobody in it but Terrell Owens. After pleading with T.O. not to play the game with Dallas and to do naughty business with her, Sheridan takes off her towel, exposed what God blessed her with. And T.O. says, "Looks like the boys will have to win it without me.", then hugs Nicollete.

I saw that! I was wondering how long it would take for a big response to it. I was thinking as a i watched it of how some big bellied rednecks sipping their beers all psyched up for the game in front of the tube were responding to a white woman coming on to black man!( Laughter) I bet many forced themselves to turn the channel, and many had to wrestle with their prejudices and their love of football- I think deep down football won out though. If you wanna know a secret deep down those rednecks actaully felt the interracial thing was a turn on but they won't admit it- in case Bubba is watching the game with him. Very interesting huh?

I'd think that rednecks would rather see T.O. play football than play with women of any color. Those things should be kept in the locker room or bedroom away from any cameras. Nicolette does have a nice figure, though.

Now Colts head coach Tony Dungy has said on a talk show that the ABC promo was "racially offensive", probably because of a stereotype that black men crave the beautiful blonde white female, which is totally bogus. I know where Coach is going, but if Terrell was white and Halle Berry was "au naturel", ABC would pul the same stint.

Black men do crave beautiful blonde white females!!! This Black on white is a hotbed topic and a secret fantasy of most white females (and white males if they'd be honest) in America, this promo was designed to put sex in front of the macho guys watching the game and to promote the new show Desperate Housewives for those who are unaware of it. The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have been doing this for years, only a little less overtly. It was inappropiate and not well thought out But it does raise the question of where honestly we stand in matters of interracial sex and is football watched by porn watchers? Hummmmm he said as he looked in the mirror....

I don't agree with that, Elvis. Mostly, black men prefer soulmates with the same skin color. The belief that black men lust after blonde, white women was an ages old wives' tales dating back to slavery and the Civil War. It was used by slaveowners to "prove" that the black race was inferior to the Holier Than Thou whites in the South. I am not against interracial relationships as long as it is based on mutual love for each other and not get in bed with each other or out of spite.

Hey Indy, Well how closely we agree yet disagree. That so called age old myth is still alive in the south and it's not a myth it is truth for I live here and most of my black friends who will be open about it tell me they do want to sleep with white women for the adventure and the fact that it's suppose to be taboo. While a man of color may prefer a mate of same skin color he has great interest in seeing what it's like just over the line and vice versa from the white perspective as most of my white female friends have admitted they'd like to experience sex with a black man for the curiousity and excitement of it. Anything considered taboo makes it more appealing. The Football incident simply brought to surface what the majority of Americans fantasize about.. and that is- a black man and white woman breaking the taboo and we secretly love it - that's why we're all tore up about it.
I do agree we should never do things for spite -it ends in disaster but there is also a danger of suppressing a secret desire when it's there whether we deny it or not. Honesty will set you free like the truth. Ain't it cool to debate...

Depends on the people debating. ;)
From where you live, it might be the truth. I like to think of it as a mere coincidence. Dungy likes to think, being the conservative he is, that men prefer women of the same race. That's not necessarily true in today's world.

I agree R and R, Mtv and Vh1 is soft porn. Networks should re-think about who they will be putting their latest "brainstorm" ideas in front of. Yes, a majority of Mon. night Football veiwers are males who love to see pretty women and sexual situations, BUT how many young kids tune in and were influenced negatively by it (example- Terrell Owens suggestion was "the team will have to play without me while i take care of this white woman')? How many housewives were offended? Sex and sports are inseperable or there'd be no need for the scantily dressed cheerleaders. (remember Debbie Does Dallas anyone?) We just have to decide who the audience will be. This promo would have played at a bar with cheers and yahoos but in America's living room? Oh well- what's next Madonna kissing Brittany while Janet has a wardrobe malfunction in the locker room before the next Mon. Night game? I went to a football game the other night and a porno movie broke out....

When they are honest with themselves. We just need to make sure that a person is to the age of accountabilty in their minds before bombarding them with visauls of sex and nudity and porn. Once a person gets to his mature age then it's all about personal choices. As for interracial acceptance, it's more accepted now than ever -it's just a lot of folk have "closet" hang-ups about it and refuse to confront their own selves to see why they feel this way. Example- I knew a white guy who told me (while he was drunk of course) that his biggest fantasy was to see his wife making it with a black man and YET he said if he ever caught her doing such a thing he'd kill them both. The thoughts of it turned him on while the reality of it made him angry- Psycho analyze that!

I think it was a sorry a** attempt to be hot. I saw it and I'm sorry I think Nicollette looks like a dude in drag (my husband said it first - which was funny!). It was a bad and desperate attempt to be "cutting-edge". Remember, Desperate Housewives is the tame attempt to be like "Sex and the City", which was really cutting - edge. But, you can only do so much on regular tv.
What the hell did it have to do with football? I don't have the slightest clue. Now, don't get me wrong, I love sex like any red-blooded, hot American, but I must agree that there is a time and place for everything.
As for the interracial thing, it's a major myth. Most do not desire to go there at all.

A friend didn't think I could get a white female to honestly admit that white women secretly have this fantasy to try sex with a black man. It is a common fantasy and ranked number 1 or 2 in most "honest" polls. Likewise I told him, he secretly wanted to watch such an encounter and after much de-fragging of his "not me" attitude he admitted it that he did. I love truth. I loved the way you said in your first response "as to the intrerracial thing "MOST" do not desire to do so!" Then when you looked deeper you responded with "Honestly..it is true!" As for the reverse pairing you referred to, i'm sure that is true also it's just that here in the south it's more 70-30 majority of black men with white women. Either way I am fascinated by it and I wonder why we hide truth from our own selves? Thanks, Tanya. :)

Who the hell watches ''Desperate Housewifves'' anyway? What a waste of an hour.
See, GWB, we don't disagree on everything now do we?
I must add that the Red States of America may protest anti-family attitudes at the polls, but they sure like to watch them on the tube. "Desperate Housewives" is rising to the top in places like Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and Idaho!
I don't like the iea of the state telling TV land how to run the show, but I sure wish garbage celebrating promiscuity and infidelity didn't sell so well. I have always repudiated the ideas from the "sexual revolution" that sex with many partners and so-called open marriages are liberating. The destructiveness of such ventures was overwhelming in evidence by the late 1970s.
I also think families ought to be able to watch sports together without the parents having to worry about raunchy conduct (Sheridan, Janet Jackson) and violence erupting (Pacers) At least the NBA is coming down on those brawlers like a ton of bricks.

Hey Karen, Not all will admit it I know, but "EVER" is a strong term you used. The sexual mind is very wide. I won't say you're being untruthful but based on my conversation with white women MOST eventually admitted that yes they do secretly have that fantasy. Re-read Tanya's second response after I asked her to be honest and she said that Honestly, It IS true. And that however she'd found it to be more White guys wanted black women, also look again at Tanya's change in her responses Karen. She even agreed with me when I told her she helped me win a bet and called me a stinker for getting her to be honest. Tanya came honestly clean, do you want to try again Karen?

Well actually. You lost the bet b/c I'm black. I'm fair-skinned, but I not white. Actually, what I said was that what I had said in the first post was true. Most black men do not fantasize about it all. In my encounters with white men, it's the other way around.

Tanya, Tanya come on now. Do women really stick together that good? Oh no, i've been gendered! I am a dark skinned native American that society labels caucassion and I'm not prejudice at all. Just as man in pursuit of truth in every area of life. This topic was one I've been involved with a lot in my circles and I thought I could get an honest answer here- I guess not. I love to analyze people and why they do what they do and especially when there is such a double meaning to what they are saying. Tanya since you are considered black I suppose then what you said about white men/ black girls to be true- however IF you were white you'd hear more of the reverse. This fantasy thing is a touchy subject and I understand how not many will not dare to be truthful with their own selves. But contrary to opinion on this thread I have found the majority of other "white" females to tell me this myth or fantasy of black on white is true. Sorry.

I believe the fantasy is true and that some carry it on both sides. As said before, in my experiences, I've met white men who wanted to act on their fantasy and I've met black men who didn't have this fantasy. But, I'm sure others have this fantasy. If you must know, I've already been there, so it's no big deal with me. You haven't been gendered at all. I was just supporting my previous posts.
I'm glad you are seeking truth in this country since truth seems quite lacking in our country. I commend you.

If you read USA Today this morning, the writer of the article hinted that Nicolette's character in Desperate Housewives would be killed off, since she is not a series regular like say Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, or Marcia Cross. That would hurt the ratings, since in Soapland, the villian(ess) is the most liked person on the show. :(
