At least the soccer lesbians are cuter than the basketball lesbians (horrendous!) and the golf lesbians.

Was it Louis B Mayer who said, of a poorly attended movie opening, "why did it do so poorly? -- the public stayed away in droves!"

By the way, it's the lesbians and lefty lesbian lovers in the media who badmouth Anna K.

And don't you wonder why someone who would be a natural TV draw on the tennis court is NEVER seen or shown playing tennis on TV? In the events she does enter she's NEVER on.

The lesbians would rather that we watch the mannish women, with lesbian commentators doing the play-by-play (you know, that butchy brunette with the lesbian-lisp?)
