No, that's a bad example. You could argue that those women are just there as TnA, and that's part of their job, but not the sole reason they're there. They still have to be athletic and have some interest in the sport. I'm betting it doesn't pay a lot.Malcolm wrote:The hell you say.Leisher wrote:That being said, I would argue that his tweet does maintain a hint of truth, in that some females on the air in the world of sports aren't exactly there for their intellectual contribution.
There are some sideline reporters who couldn't report a traffic jam let alone interview a coach at halftime.

Re: MLB
Benchwarmers barely get over $10K per year. Higher end players might scrape $50K. That said, I'm betting this is supplementary income for them and the practice regimen pretty much doesn't exist.They still have to be athletic and have some interest in the sport. I'm betting it doesn't pay a lot.
So you want to restrict it to reporters.There are some sideline reporters who couldn't report a traffic jam let alone interview a coach at halftime.

That's my point. The product is about TnA, but not 100%. The women have a passion.Benchwarmers barely get over $10K per year. Higher end players might scrape $50K. That said, I'm betting this is supplementary income for them and the practice regimen pretty much doesn't exist.
I know it's a small difference, but there IS a difference. I doubt the women playing this sport get on the team by laying on their back.
And I'm not saying that's how all female sports reporters got there, but they certainly aren't all there due to their knowledge of sports or years in the industry.
No. Sadly, there are a lot of women in high paying jobs and positions of power who used their sexuality to get there. It's a same that pointing it out makes you a misogynist. (If you're a man. If you're a woman it's ok to point it out if it makes you feel better about yourself and lack of achievement.)So you want to restrict it to reporters.

Re: MLB
A fair point, but the ones who don't end up getting stomped on. 99.9% of straight and bi men couldn't resist proffered pussy even if you told them their balls would be hooked to a car battery right after. It takes something of a predatory personality to hang onto a position of power, even in an arena or newsroom. That means being brutal, i.e. using every means at your disposal to get ahead regardless of ethics.Leisher wrote:To phrase it fairly, sometimes the women don't use their sexuality as bait.Because most men take that bait more readily than women

Re: MLB
In the top of the 9th, 4 pitchers, 4 earned runs, 20-some odd pitches, no strikeouts, 1 walk. No pitcher got more than six pitches thrown before being yanked. This marks the second time a team has blown a 3-run lead in the 9th while facing elimination. The first?Malcolm wrote:Frisco's wheels just came off. Say goodnight, Gracie.

You got a long way to go. Furthermore, I think either the Cubs or Dodgers will take them apart if they can beat Toronto in Toronto.
