FYI to those saying things like its dark comedy, saying its just a joke or I was joking isn't an acceptable response for little children, so its certainly not for adults.

lol. Much ado about nothing. People just lack humour these days.  Comedy is over. This is comedy. 

It's a little cringy...but yea...a joke.  Pretty hairbrained of a professional organization to mass email though. If my buddy quipped this over a few beers, I'd laugh but not if it was said to a woman. If my wife heard him she would probably have some choice words and he wouldn't get my protection.

People take themselves to serious nowadays. 

Nah jokes are funny. That's just hacky sexist bullshit.

They might have tried to be funny and trendy... but the execution is so poor it's just straight up sexist

No, people just don't put up with thinly veiled misogyny any longer.

this is RAGE inducing. It's because of bullshit "trends" like this, that otherwise perfectly normal girls have a complex of some sort. I am constantly feeling sick for my niece and other young women in my life.. 

It's in bad taste but far from RAGE inducing.  Anyone who gets to a point of being RAGED by this should probably self reflect on why they get angry over the smallest things in life.

Sounds like they tried jump on (what is apparently) a social media trend... kind of funny but at the same time probably not a great idea to piss off a large group of the fanbase.

Today's different tweets concerning women just go to demonstrate the stark differences between our organization and the gappers in terms of professionalism and proper management. Just night and day.  Awesome to see Paddy and Schoen coming out to hang out with a strong contingent of passionate female fans of the team. The RIders....well not so much....and I have to wonder who the hell are they to make fun of anyone's math skills anyway? 13

 It's almost comical at this point. Just no accountability or professionalism from top to bottom in that organization. Hate to say it but Craig Reynolds has really been a god awful president over there....ok...I don't hate to say it.

This one made me genuinely laugh out loud!

Saw her at a Banjo Bowl while she was pregnant, trying to get through the drunken mob to the elevators on the concourse. As a fat drunk myself, I acted as a plow with her following me to get her to the elevators, while she verbally cleared the way.

My wife has attended some of the women's club events and absolutely ADORES Holly. They're similar personalities in so much as they will tell you to f*** all the way off when it's needed...

yeah don't they realize that the male Rider fans enjoy bringing their cousin-wives to games? Why mess with that grand tradition with this stupid message.  Oh well.  Looks bad on the Riders as everything else seems to.

That franchise just can't get out of it's own damn way....and I LOVE that about them.

I love jokes, I don’t mind what some would consider “edgy” humour but that was just tone  deaf and brutally un funny. Not great when you insult potentially 30-50 percent of your fan base. 

... better late than never?
