I told him that assuming sports are only enjoyed by men is a stereotype in itself, but the point is they can't CALL it television for men.

But I agree with what people are saying in terms of the issue being with quality roles being filled by minorities. That also requires minorities to go after them, or make those types of movies, and not "Scary movie pt. 9".
I always kid my late sister about Lifetime Channel.She always was watching it when I see her.I used to say to her."Who 's husband/boyfriend went to jail tonight".
