Whatever Happened To Erin Buzuvis?

You remember the now-former University of Iowa adjunct law professor Erin Buzuvis?

Last year, she disliked the pink walls and urinals in the opposing men's football locker room at Kinnick Stadium and said "Pink is regarded as the color of little girls or the color of effeminate men."

All this was based on some cherry-picking and quoting out-of-context of beloved former Hawkeye football coach Hayden Fry's comments in his biography: "pink walls would put opponents in a passive mood" and "some consider it a sissy color." Fry had the opposing locker rooms painted pink in the early 1980s, and the tradition continued after a major renovation a few years ago.

Buzuvis seemed to ignore the fact that Fry earned a degree in psychology and knew something about the use of the color pink, much less his past history at integrating football teams some 40 years ago. Fry was no dumb jock goombah.

Buzuvis's big problem was that she voiced her problems with the pink locker rooms in her blog, which has been subsequently removed, and allowed people to comment anonymously. This resulted in some nasty things said by idiots and the eventual 15 minute-long media uproar.

Buzuvis stayed low for the rest of the year, except for following through on trying to challenge the use of the color in the locker room via the NCAA, but that went nowhere.

Today she is back in the safe confines under the left wing of the East Coast. She'll be teaching property and sports law at Western New England College.

Perhaps Ms Buzuvis will take in some men's football games this year. The Golden Bears are Western New England's men's football team.

Gold, of course, has been long associated with wealth, prestige, royalty, imperialism, slavery, and heterosexual wedding anniversaries.

Maybe that will give Professor Buzuvis something to mine while living in the Commonwealth.
