In recognition of ‘The Day Without Sports”, Netflix PR released an offensively sexist email with some suggestions on how to spend the day and we got our hands on the unedited version.
Happy Monday! Netflix wanted to share a couple wildly uninformed lists written by motherless men, in anticipation of July 15th : That one day a year sports enthusiasts fear most ‘No, not your anniversary, The Day Without Sports. On this day, fans (men) will see no professional sports on television as a part of the MLB All-Star break. Men be warned: your pathetic girlfriends and backbiting wives will use ‘no sports on TV” as a way to manipulate you into spending time with their needy selves. They will use this to try and gain some serious TV power, but you must stand strong and never allow a woman power. They will try and get you to watch a rom-com or trick you into starting a drama series as a longer commitment, or ask you to look them in the eyes, or offer that you go to dinner and talk, or suggest you sign the divorce papers, or force you to look at the sonogram. And, women be empowered! For today only, sports will not be there to save him from your nagging and attention-seeking.
