I'm having a hard time hearing exactly what he was saying but was it just something like not being distracted by women when none are around?

Yeah that's what he said- The context was the first reporter said “If you think about it, it’s a terrific environment with regard to — if you enjoy playing and enjoy being with your teammates for long periods of time, it’s a perfect place,”
-“It’s the perfect place,” Milbury responded. “Not even any women here to disrupt your concentration.”

This is the type of thing that liberals blame conservatives for, and conservatives blame liberals for.

All except sexhaters and manhaters dislike the way that this country has gone.

As Freud said, sexual repression emerges as work ethic. The purpose is to maximize our efficiency, and thus profits of those in power, who guide the legal and media systems.
