UPDATED — Oct. 6, 11:45 p.m. ET: Men's Health magazine tweeted an apology and said they have deleted the story.
Apologies for our “talk sports with her” story. It missed the mark and the negative feedback is justified. We've deleted it. [part 1]
It wasn’t meant to suggest that women are in any way inferior to men, in sports, or anything else. But … we’re sorry that it did. [part 2]
Men's Health magazine tweeted this picture Monday with a link to a short article claiming "most women" don't care about sports stats, but love "story lines."
She sees the game differently than you. Here’s how, and what to do about it: http://t.co/AaQXS1bsWY
