While indelicate, I can appreciate what Maroon was getting at. His response was stoopid. He feels the line of acceptable casualty is higher than others because it's part of a culture he feels is fine. His response could simply have been "I'm sorry if some took offence, but I'm simply trying to point out that I feel this is a contract sport and we assume the risk of that contact. I should've used better language as I feel women are just as capable of playing in this great game". Done. Instead he says "Hurr durr... I'm not stoopid. I have upmost respect!"
"upmost respect". Ok then
