Dame Distraction
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Women are blamed for many things in society. We seem to be the root cause of many problems that men endure. Now women are blamed for the loss of a football game!
There have been numerous articles, blogs, news reports about Tony Romo’s performance at last week’s game. Many speculated that Jessica Simpson being in the stands cheering him on was a jinx and distraction.
Wow! I thought supporting your man was something girlfriends were supposed to do? A professional football player loses his cool on the field because of a pretty blonde he is dating? Seriously?!
I think that most of the coverage was tongue-in-cheek, but I have wondered if men ever felt that dating women distracted them from their goals. Are women sometimes the reason why men can’t focus and achieve? Do we throw men off their A-game ? If so, is that really our fault or is it a scapegoat kind of thing?
Guys, have you ever had to sideline a woman (pun intended!) because she became a bit of a chore to date? Did she distract you from work, obligations, or your daily life too much? Do you think your decision making abilities are impacted when a pretty woman is in the picture?
Ladies, have you ever dated a guy and realized that you distracted him to the point where you disrupted his life? Has a guy ever told you that you were his weakness - not the good kind?
If you are a football/sports fan, do you think that Romo’s performance is a result of his off-field romances? Are there many athletes that get distracted by females to the point where their head is not in the game?
