Twitter Reacts to College GameDay's David Pollack's Comments About Women

In the wake of this week's announcement that Condoleezza Rice has been named to college football's selection committee, ESPN's College GameDay analyst David Pollack reacted by putting his foot in his mouth during Saturday morning's broadcast.

The 31-year-old analyst expressed his opinion that members of the committee should have football experience, essentially stating "no girls allowed!"

If you watch the video (longer version linked here), Pollack was clearly aware that he was about to say something controversial and probably should have just stopped himself. An awkward few seconds on camera would have undoubtedly been a better route. 

The former Georgia linebacker quickly backtracked on Twitter, stating that his preferences regarding the committee have nothing to do with sex: 

Bleacher Report NFL columnist Mike Freeman isn't buying it, though: 

Surprisingly, one of the first notable responses on Twitter came from Pollack's coworker at ESPN, reporter Sam Ponder, who poked fun at Pollack and his embarrassing comments:

Well-known American sports journalist Bonnie Bernstein also called out Pollack: 

Those tuning into Fox Sports 1's college football preview show on Saturday saw former ESPN employee Erin Andrews reference Pollack's comments with the following on-air response to her co-hosts: “I’m a female, thanks for having me," according to CollegeSpun.com's Tyler Moorehead. 

But the backlash didn't end there. A pair of Sports Illustrated writers, Richard Deitsch and Stewart Mandel, acknowledged their disappointment in Pollack, and Mandel even went as far to present a well-crafted counterpoint as it pertains to Rice's selection to the committee: 

Sir Broosk on Twitter sums up Pollack's flawed logic with a hilarious comparison:

The bad news is that Pollack made a fool of himself on national television. But the good news is that it won't be long before another sports analyst stirs up some controversy, rendering his barbaric comments obsolete.
