This past week the odious Los Angeles Time published a piece by one of its sport writer questioning the wisdom of Lindsey Vonn posing for Sports Illustrated in a bikini and whether such photos would advance the cause of slalom skiing in the US.
In the article the man has shown himself to be an idiot.
Professional athletics personalities go into professional athletics for two reasons -- to receive praise and to make money. It is not about being the best, despite what they say. Otherwise they would have careers as engineers, accountants or janitors who participated in sports as a hobby.
Personalities such as Lindsey Vonn and Danica Patrick are merely making extra money and fame from their physical attributes in fields where men are dominant. Their appealing to their physiques are no more lessening to them as are actresses showing up at the Golden Globe Awards showing their gold globes.
What's the difference between the two? At least the women athletes have put in the work to get their figures instead of paying plastic surgeons.
