Any thoughts about sex and sports, marketing, and the role of femininity in masculine sports? I though Danica Patrick was particularly interesting...

I watched it. I think, in regards to Kornikova, that she was only as popular in the athletic world because she was considered to be pretty. Let's face it, she wasn't that talented in tennis to have the million dollar endorsement deals that she had. In fact, people talked more about her as a tennis player than they did Venus and Serena Williams. Those two are awesome players. Yeah, they have endorsement deals too but they are still talked about less than Kornikova. Basically, sex sells. That is why pretty athletes go so far.

Female athletes are cool & sexy. But female announcers & interviewers in football? Does any guy really listen to their squeaky voices?
Men don't sell tampons so women shouldn't intrude on Football.
