1. I don't get to define what is inappropriate to another.
I think it's more sexist in a "throws like a girl" sort of way, but I can see why the addition of the pink in a negative connotation would be offensive.

6. Yeah. I would definately say sexist. Maybe I'm naive, but I've never
associated the color pink with being gay.

I find it more sexist than homophobic. It's caricature more than commentary in either case. One doesn't need to resort to such crap to state or imply that ARod is a dipshit. I still hold that ball or no ball, Mankiewicz should have hard-tagged Rodriguez in the nose for trying such a dirty stunt.

4. I would consider it both sexist and homophobic
And unnecessary - the lameness of the slap requires no embellishment...

It is still somewhat amusing for being so old.

8. It's ok with the purse, but putting the pink there I think is inappropriate...
...maybe give him a lolly and a big ribbon in his hair...throws like a girl is thus implied, not just like a woman.
