Politically incorrect?

I've heard more than a few female coaches yell "MAN UP!" to their female players. Always makes me wonder a little.

Reminds me of something a friend told me years ago. "My son's hockey team has a girl now. It gives new meaning to the phrase 'man down.'"

Anyway, I've heard some coaches use "player to player." I like accuracy, but I think this takes it too far.

The late, great George Carlin once said, "I believe it should be 'humankind' instead on 'mankind,' but if you tell me that thing in the street is a 'person-hole cover', I think that's going too far."
