Grr!  Shut up middle aged white men whining on JOX because they can't wrap their heads around why an ESPN game announcer was fired because he dismissed a female ESPN reporter from a professional conversation at the Chick-Fil-A Bowl by calling her "sweet cakes" and then calling her an asshole for objecting to being called 'sweet cakes' and then refusing to apologize to her when ESPN demanded that he do so.  So far exactly one reporter has called in to say that the firing was an appropriate response.  Every. single. other caller and reporter has defended the guy.  *head desk*  (And this wasn't even his first incident doing this sort of thing).


ETA:  Wow, Arkansas was snakebit tonight.

And so goes the nation! Really - what with the ascendancy of utterly misogynistic crap such as Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club and all of the Real Housewives (about which I only know of from clips on The Soup), I'm surprised that ANY young woman complained about sexist behavior at all, much less had her employer do something about it. We've gone back to uphill battles against sexist pigs.

As Helen in Topsy-Turvy remarked, "The more I know of men, the more I like dogs."

Heh. I commented to my mother over Christmas that I've never watched a single episode of any of those shows, but I know from the commercials that I hate every person in them! (This is also true of "The Bachelor")
