Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, July 15, 2004

Another example of mainstream media stories on women's sports quoting message boards: Last week in Newsday, Sheryl McCarthy wrote this commentary in Newsday about the pressures on female athletes to look sexy. (The article has since been syndicated and picked up by a few papers around the country.)

McCarthy's article quotes from a student on this discussion board for a course at Bryn Mawr. (She also misspelled the student's name.)
