The funny this is that I would get mad at folks not taking me seriously when I was in my 20s and now that I am in my 40s I see that they were right all along.

Yeah, the woman who made the video! "Cult of Perfectionism" is a very apt term to describe the mentality that the minute her job doesn't give her what she wants, that must be an example of her being slighted.

She gets more endorsements because she's gorgeous. And?

Some of these comments are seriously mind blowing. She (and them) is acting like having to give up "time" and "energy" for her work is somehow unfair to her and if you disagree, then you're a 'slave to the machine'. Yeah, okay. Does she really not know what having a full time job entails? Not to mention, she said that…

It isn't her fault she's beautiful! She'd be an idiot not to use that to help make a career for herself, and it's idiotic to expect professional athletes not to use every asset they have to stay afloat in the world! You can talk integrity and morality all day long, but athletes are gladiators and we all know it. …

Wow that is some revisionist history.

i think virtually any news organization that starts their morning broadcast at 6am or so would beg to disagree with you.

I grew up under the impression that That Thing You Do was one of those movies everyone had seen, like so many of Tom Hanks' other movies. I am legitimately shocked every single time someone says they haven't seen it at least once, if not a million times. God, I love this movie.

Seriously, how difficult is it for people to understand this?If the job didn't align with her values (hanging out with friends) then say thanks but no thanks but don't act like such an entitled baby about it. There will be someone out there whose values do align with the job (i.e. work over family/friends) and would…

Jones' fame comes in part from holding a couple of (indoor) world records; from a highly visible loss in the '08 Olympics, after hitting the ninth hurdle as the pre-race favorite; and from a pretty compelling personal narrative involving homelessness etc.

I don't know where you get that 5k a year for child care thing. I don't have any kids but I have toddler and infant nieces and nephews. Between the clothes, food, shoes, cribs, playpens, strollers, infant car seats, more shoes, more clothes, more food and lots and lots and lots of diapers we're talking way more than…

Agreed. Though I think Gaga could pull it off as day-wear. She does the big shoulder thing very well and looks great in green. Iggy Pop, of course, would also make me really happy in this.

She made some choices. Choices to prioritize work. I'm not sure her choices rise to the level of "Sacrifice." We may abuse that word the most - second only to "tragedy."

You're not buying into it because you're lazy. Of course you don't want to sacrifice. You probably don't have 3 kids and a mortgage. You probably don't have a sick spouse or parent or child where you have to work so you can have medical insurance. You could care less because at the end of the day you've probably…

Before I saw the name, I seriously thought that was Iggy Pop. I actually like the dress but the overly square shoulders and plunging neckline are doing her no favours.

You lost me until you referred to her virginity as somehow being sullied or something by posing nude. It isn't hypocritical to be a virgin and pose nude. ESPECIALLY FOR ESPN'S BODY ISSUE.

God forbid a woman with massive skills should have a massive ego.

I don't know. It is normal for someone to "talk down" (not in a hideously shitty offensive way of course) to a junior officer because:

You missed my point, I guess.
