Texas A&M assistants suspended for inappropriate presentation at women's football seminar
Two Texas A&M football assistant coaches have been suspended for two weeks without pay after a running a slideshow presentation filled with inappropriate innuendo at a women's football seminar this week.
The incident occurred at "Chalk Talk," an women-only football seminar put on by the Texas A&M football team with the intent of discussing the Xs and Os of football with women interesting in learn more about the sport.
Many were offended, however, when a slideshow presentation showed a spoof of the Texas A&M rewritten to include the phrases "filled with estrogen," "putting down our dish towels" and "bring it on...no more thong."

The slideshow also featured a segment on blocking schemes that included the phrases "Don't let him inside" and "spread them again again."
