And here I thought ESPN had gone non-political . . .
There I was this morning reading an ESPN article on yesterdays US Open tennis action, when a political screed broke out. Reporting on a win by Andy Murray, ESPNs DArcy Maine [pictured here] wrote:
And if Murrays heartfelt win isnt enough to win you over, perhaps his continuing stance on equality for women, might do the trick. (If those two things combined dont do it, you might want to take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself whats wrong with you.)
Get the rest of the story here.

Writer at supposedly non-political ESPN says something “wrong with you” if you’re not won over by tennis player’s feminism.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Please tell me more of how I should think..... /s
The sports media is more liberal than the media in general. ESPN is the cathedral of sports media.
LOL. Yes, whenever I need to know how to think, I always look first to the opinion of ESPN writers.
And I like watching the top women play in their frilly white "dresses"...and I'd love to hear their lady-like grunts.
Serena Williams is damn good but she's built like a linebacker...kinda like the East German lady shotputters.
And I always go to IHOP for the fresh shrimp.
I need help. How are women not equal?
(Full disclosure, Ive always thought us a bit superior and we were actually reducing ourselves to become equal to men. Sorry guys.)
ESPN has to go.
>>(Full disclosure, Ive always thought us a bit superior and we were actually reducing ourselves to become equal to men. Sorry guys.)<<
Unless and until men can bear children women will remain superior to them.
It is unfortunate feminazis decided to lower women’s status.
Andy Murray? Never heard of the guy!
He has won three grand slam events, including two Wimbledons.
Feminism: she plays tennis, all the managers are men
The reason they make less money in sports is generally because the public is more interested in watching men compete, as they generally do so at a higher level of athleticism (e.g. jump higher, run faster, etc.). Therefore men's sports generate more revenue, and the players thus make more. If a woman's sport generated the same amount of public interest, it would make equivalent money, and the women would make more.
I watch women's sports, and root for the US Women's Soccer team, as well as American swimmers and women's basketball. I'm just interested in these sports, but they don't draw as much money and advertising as most men's sports. It's just the way it is.
I love your post!

Murray could have put his money where his mouth is and given some of his tournament winnings to the female winner.
