Maureen, I have seen this commercial and unfortunately the way I took it was not in the most positive light. I took it as a representing a woman being smarter in sports than the man had expected considering she was nursing. I think she was supposed to be just this object doing "woman's work" and the man was surprised that she had more going on than that. I am hoping I misinterpreted that but judging from the majority of sports programming, I didn't. I am constantly amazed at the misogynist attitude of sports programming and sports magazines.

I'm probably the only one on the list watching a Kansas State versus Iowa football game on aSaturday afternoon. Actually, I was being "held captive", nursing my youngest on the couch while DH watched the game. I don't know if any of you have caught this commercial on the Fox Sports Channel but it is for a new show called "Sports Geniuses" on said network. Here's the scene: A young man (20s) is sitting across from a nursing mother on a train. The top of the mother's shirt is unbuttoned and the top of her breast is exposed and she is nursing an older infant. He is looking at her with a bewildered look on her face (maybe he's thinking, oh so that's what their for?). Then she asks him some sports trivia question. Don't call me a genius because this is yet another commercial where I just "don't get it". Did anyone else see it? I didn't quite know how to take it because it took me off guard.
