Week 4 - Hot Broadcasting Babes

Article 4

It took me a while to find an article for this week.  While browsing SportsFixChicago.com, I decided to pick the first article that I found dedicated to women in sports.  Needless to say, I had to browse all the way back to November of 2010 to find anything remotely dedicated to women, and the article that I did find was only about the Top 10 Hottest Female Broadcasters of All-Time.  Of course.   No where did I find anything about the talents of female athletes, only pictures of Erin Andrews and Colleen Dominguez, #2 and #1 respectively on this list.  Once again, this article shows how completely demeaning that men can be in relation to women in sports. complete with pictures and demeaning descriptions of the women who were lucky enough to make such a list.  Websites like SFC just show that men are the athletes and women are supposed to be feminine and pretty all the time.  Not once while scrolling through hundreds of articles on this website did I find anything dedicated to celebrating the talents or obstacles of female athletes today, and this clearly proves many things that we discussed in class to be true.   Don't fret, SFC also published a list of Top Ten Hottest Female Athletes of All Time.  That counts as print time for women athletes...doesn't it?
