Why Can't Women Soccer Players Be Honest?
How come when a man says women soccer players should wear sexier, more revealing outfits to attract more attention to the sport, all the women in the game provide a completely typical and predictable reaction: "How dare he?" and "He's a schlub" and blah blah friggin' blah.
What's wrong with trying to be sexier so that you get more attention? Is that really such a bad thing? Let's ask Brandi Chastain what she thinks of suggestions that women athletes should try that. Her striptease after the game-winning shot remains the only thing people remember about that match. Or maybe we should ask the Australian women's soccer team, the Matildas, what they think?
Chickies, stop playing dumb, and start being honest. What the guy said makes sense. Your sport isn't getting any attention. Just for this, I'm going to put the Matildas' Amy Taylor in the E.K. Nation Babe Hall of Fame. And it won't be because of anything she did on the pitch.
