That's a really terrible article. Sure, certain complaints are kind-of legitimate (e.g. mentioning someone is someone's wife - although I'm sure same is also often said of men married to famous women), but most just seem to be petty denials of the fact that (the best) men are almost universally better at a given sport than (the best) women.
- throwaway814 10y agoFor sure, and even the follow-up on that issue has the IMO totally reasonable explanation + apology for how something that ridiculous came out: http://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2016/08/12/cogdell-unrein-twitter-olympics-trapshooting http://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2016/08/12/cogdell-unrein-twit... The Chicago-based newspaper was trying to emphasize her connection to Chicago (she's from Alaska) and overdid it. Then apologized. Woo, makes sense, no harm no foul.
- adrianratnapala 10y agoI don't see any foul either. When the captain of the Australian cricket team was going out with a famous Australian model, that was news. Even though she was overall a bit less less famous than him. Had she being going out with some otherwise unknown olympian, that also would have been news -- especially if the dude won a medal.
- pygy_ 10y agoTestosterone does that, to the extent that there are controversies over women with hyperandrogenism competing professionally. Men just have on average a higher natural supply of anabolic steroids.
