You Negotiate Like a Girl: Reflections on a Career in the National Football League | Amy Trask

pan

I‘ve been a football fan almost as long as I can remember. I learned a few interesting tidbits about how the NFL works from Trask‘s memoir, but as a guide for navigating a man‘s world as a woman, this is a complete failure. The prose is repetitive, vulgar, riddled with typos and grammatical errors, her theory on gender in the workplace is patronizing and degrading, and her obsession with Al Davis is borderline creepy.

Alfoster Yikes! My husband is a high school football coach an I learn the most from him! Sorry this was disappointing! 5y

Chelleo Sounds like a train wreck 😕😧 5y

Leftcoastzen Wow , don‘t hold back , tell us what you really think.😀 5y

DGRachel @Leftcoastzen 🤣🤣 My Goodreads review is worse, if only because I had a lot more characters to use. Book club is going to be tough. 5y

Leftcoastzen Gird your loins and stand firm,I‘m betting you are right about that turd sandwich! 5y

I‘m still hating this book, but at least I have #Bailey to keep me company while she naps and I fume.

This book is making me rage-y, but I have to read it for work. I didn‘t realize how much it would anger me before I started writing notes in it and now can‘t take it to the used bookstore after book club meets. So-if anyone needs/wants books they can cut up and use for crafts-first come first serve to anyone who wants this. I‘ll ship it to you at the end of the month. Just reply below and I‘ll give you my email address.

j.rye This blurb sounds like something I would write. 😂 5y

DGRachel @j.rye I don‘t want it taking up space in my house, but I‘m opposed to throwing books in the trash, as a general rule. I could make an exception if no one wants it for craft projects. 😂😂 5y

BookNAround You can donate it to Julia‘s Coffee (the Habitat for Humanity bookstore and coffee shop) on Wendover. I was told they pulp unsellable books to use as insulation in the houses. 5y

DGRachel @BookNAround I didn‘t know they did that! That‘s so cool!! Thank you! 5y

This is my (unreasonable) proposed #FebruaryTBR. It‘s a combination of books in progress from January, book club picks, Litsy buddy reads, and a few that I just really, really want to read. It‘s a shame I have to work for a living at a job where I can‘t just sit and read. 😂
