Talk:Georgia Frontiere

Feminist Whining

In my opinion there is far too much feminist whining in this article. The fact that league staff was and is mainly male is due to the fact that from the beginning football was played by males, and wealthy males supported the establishment of the NFL, etc. There is no evidence of "domination" by males. Georgia Frontiere was in a position to be influential in the NFL not because of her own success in the marketplace, but because she happened to marry multiple times and outlived a very wealthy husband. I think a more balanced article would not whine so much about the demographics of the league, and focus on what contributions Ms. Frontiere made as an owner.

I don't see any evidence of feminism, let alone whining. The article clearly establishes that a female owner in the NFL was indeed a very unique reality considering that even today there are no majority owners in the NFL (let alone any other major American sport) that are female. The criticism she received from the media because of her gender was real and significant part of her NFL career. --108.0.215.194 (talk) 05:55, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

NPOV Issues

Speculation and insinuation about her husbands death don't belong here —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.0.39.129 (talk) 06:32, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Ummm... there are some major NPOV and lack of source citation here. For one thing, the article alleges that she orchestrated the murder of her husband, which obviously hasn't been proven in a court of law, or she'd be in prison right now. Someone who knows about Ms. Frontiere's circumstances desperately needs to clean up this article. 150.243.123.44 03:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC) (TysK, I'm not signed in)

Agreed - I have tagged this article. If someone familiar with the subject can clean it up an substantiate the claims, please do so. If not, I'll remove the unsourced material, but that will leave a very slender article. Also, I'm removing the reference to her spouse, as she has none (former husbands should be addressed in the article, though). --Chancemichaels 15:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)Chancemichaels

the ending paragraph is opinion of someone in favor of the team going back to L.A. . I don't think it should be there. It's a factual account of this woman's life and is out of place here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.109.156.242 (talk) 00:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Only Female Owner?

vote

"Frontiere casting the deciding vote in a 23-6 decision"- Normally, unless otherwise indicated, we expect a yes/no vote to be decided by a simple majority. So, how does one person cast the deciding vote in such a lopsided vote? Was there a roll call, and when GF voted, the count passed fifty percent? Or is there some other explanation of there being "a" deciding vote in a 23-6 decision? Kdammers (talk) 03:27, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
