Angry Moms converge on Nike and NPR to protest violence against women

There’s harmonic convergence in the Angry Activist Mom universe today. Yesterday I posted about Frank Deford’s awful pro-Ben-Roethlisberger thug-apologist commentary on NPR’s Morning Edition, and then today Cooper & Emily blogged over at TheMotherhood.com about Angry Moms protesting Nike for sponsoring Roethlisberger.

This issue has LEGS…and BRAINS of Angry Moms engaged. This is why it’s so powerful to raise our voices….going from one woman listening to the radio in the car and wondering, “Did I really just hear that?” to joining together to shout back at powerful corporations and public media who are supposed to represent a wide variety of voices.

Cooper & Emily’s blog post has links that will help you tell Nike what you think, and here’s the link to Frank Deford’s commentary, “Not All Role Models Need be Positive” and the NPR Contact form.

Seriously, Frank Deford and NPR editors, What were you thinking????
