Serena named AP Female Athlete of the Year...a horse places 2nd
« on: December 23, 2009, 02:52:14 PM »

Runner-up in the AP voting was Zenyatta, winner of the Breeders' Cup.  I think things are pretty bad in women's sports when a horse is viewed as the #2 'female athlete' in the world.

Honestly, the horse won, but most of the writers couldn't tell them apart.  :P

That is hilarious. I'm sorry, but that is a big step back for women's sports when they give awards to animals instead of humans lol

How many steps can be taken back when there is a wall behind you?

What happened to all the marketable tennis and soccer players?  Michelle Wie isn't gorgeous, but she's not ugly either.  She just has no game right now, I guess.  Women's basketball may sell tickets to the corporate and lesbian sets, but for whatever reason, the players just aren't able to sell other products. 

Jenny Finch decided to go be a wife and mom.  Boo.  Has Sharapova's star already faded?  Why don't we see more of Natalie Gulbis? 

I think a hot woman golfer can sell stuff, even if she's not a rock star on the tour.  All she has to do is look good, I'd imagine, just as we had with Kournikova in tennis.
