For some strange reason, the sports television world is enamored with hiring sideline reporters who are tom boys or to put gently, women who wouldn't make the cut for homecoming queen. I understand that there are the Erin Andrews' of the world, but it seems like the tom boys rule the day. This is affirmative action in my humble opinion and should be discontinued.
People think that affirmative action is about giving blacks and Spanish speaking people an opportunity. Yes that is true, but we also see that women take advantage of it as well.
What is wrong with a tom boy such as Jenny working the Fox Sports Northwest Mariner game? Well, she put together a whole bunch of puff pieces like on the players' wives, the Mercer Island Little League team that made the Little League World Series throwing out the first pitch at the Mariner game, etc. Why someone who's more attractive such as Lisa Gangel of KING 5 or Nicole Zaloumis, who seems to have disappeared from Fox Sports Northwest, can't do these stories is beyond my conservative, male chauvinistic pig point of view. I must be re-oriented to think like a more sensitive male, even a metrosexual.
