You didn't ask for debate, you spouted nonsense. I was simply replying in kind.

Why is this about women fans? I thought this was about women athletes? Is the idea that a man would actually watch a female athlete *gasp* that horrifying?

It's not all attributable to the press. It's called sexism, and it's everywhere.

Being famous more than one thing does actually happen. It does hardly ever happen. The last time a female athlete was on the cover was like 18 months ago.

Ever heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? Something is not popular - it is talked about and celebrated rarely (in fact, denigrated on the regular!) - said thing does not become popular.

No one cares about women's sports because the only reason we watch sports is to see the thrill of competition. Women are unable, no matter what they do and through no fault of their own but simply due to basic biology, to compete at the same athletic level as men and hence offer the same thrilling competition as men…

This article is acting like it's rare. Which it is. I t never says it's "unheard of" or first.

Google tells me...less than 5% of SI covers have featured a female athlete. OMG so common!

But this is about the cover. Is it also common on the cover?

So I brought the fixings of a burrito to work today. Meaning one tupperware for the meat, one for the veg and cheese, and a plastic baggie with a tortilla. My boss just walked around the office going, "Who brought this? Is this a tortilla or lefse?" He was sooooo disappointed in me when I told him it was just a…

Oh Garrison Keillor. The one bad thing on NPR.

I'm frightened of Lutefisk. I come from a German background and from an area of Mn that is very German Catholic, but my new boss is Norwegian and obsessed with all things Norwegian and how Norwegian Minnesota is. It's just a matter of time before I am forced to either eat lutefisk or lose my job....

....colored?

I honestly don't know anything about that guy, but MilkPEP did not create Got Milk. The California Milk Processor Board. Milk PEP, and many other dairy promotion boards all over the country, pay them to use it.

Just because some conglomerate "society" isn't perfect doesn't give you an excuse to be a racist.

You clearly aren't getting the point. The fact that YOU find the omission of their race and religion to be SUPER IMPORTANT indicates some serious racism. Stop trotting out your claim of minority status as if it exempts you.

Being a minority doesn't mean you can't be racist, as you clearly demonstrate.

By "society" you mean you.

That literally makes no sense. The article does not mention the race or religion of the four women, then you say it's super important, but then accuse "the media" of having done what you just did but they did not do? Ooookay then.
