Saw this yesterday, wasn't going to post it here, but it's gotten a lot of run the last couple of days and I think it's pretty interesting (and offensive as hell). Sports' treatment of women, in my opinion, lags behind pretty much any other "ism" in my opinion. The first thing asked about any female has nothing to do with whether she's any good at the job and is almost always "is she hot?" (ie "pics or GTFO). I think it's an interesting topic. Be warned, this video is fairly uncomfortable to watch and includes some awful language (though I think it's all bleeped out). Thought it was worth sharing on a sports message board:
