Rose and Friedman

I found it the gender distinctions concerning "distracted spectatorship" very interesting. Do you agree with their theories about masculine or feminine characteristics being attributed to different forms of media use (other than the obvious ones) ?

The authors posit that "the symbolic and actual community constructed by sports spectatorship in America is as masculine as the playing of games themselves."

Do you agree with this statement?

What specific examples lead you to believe this is true or untrue?
