    I know I should take this more seriously, but it's hard to not laugh at a man who tries to do a macho, hardass act while also saying things like, "You're in my box."

      In other news, the sky is chartreuse and grass is orange. I know that is going to sound ridiculous to some people but I don't care because I'm very right. How do I know I'm right? Because I ended that sentence with "I'm very right." So I win and you lose and I'm rubber and you're glue and no takesies backsies times infinity.

      You see, I'm willing to share my sandbox as long as you're willing to remember: You're in my box.

      Yeah…actually no. You don't own sports or control anything, so regardless of how willing to share you are or how many tantrums you throw, I and everyone else will keep watching what we want and saying what we want and you not liking it will continue to be irrelevant.

      I was lucky enough to be the female finalist for our local sports radio station over the summer. The winner got their own show. Now, I know that the best person won (who happened to be male, he could talk like no one's business), however, the crap I had to read about myself was awful. Women are genetically different and unable to talk about sports, I have a big forehead, I'm not hot enough, I got to star struck (this is partially true) because I'm a woman (the dude was one of my SPORTS IDOLS). I had some guy on air call me THAT GIRL.. To which I immediately laid the smack down. Little did anyone care to realize that I had NEVER been on the radio before. I got to the finals simply because I actually knew what I was talking about. In the end, I did stutter step.. but I gained valuable experience. I just needed to get over my nerves.

      I refuse to listen to any radio host who isn't Cecil Gershwin Palmer. I wish these sports radio assholes had Lovecraftian station managers to fear. They deserve to be devoured and replaced.

        I also like the line "For some of you, this is going to come off as very misogynistic." Like for people who understand English? What an idiot.

      As someone with a stake in this industry - I will point out just one thing: The "feminizing" of sports gets discussed when it comes to any time the sports media/industry looks at anything humanizing. Yes, how dare anyone treat players like human beings capable of fear, weakness, pain, or fault.

      Men, like this one in question, are not angry at women - they're angry that someone dares tell them that their cartoon characters are not two dimensional, but three.

        No doubt, but I wasn't going to waste my breath on this guy in question. My response was for the larger "women ruin sports" argument.

          This is just old. Shock jocks and radio misogynists are going the way of the dinosaur. However the biggest names will end up podcasting soon enough to their old guy audience with some net saavy but most will just disappear. The young guys who were these radio tycoons when abusing strippers was socially acceptable are all old and bitter now. Like Opie and Anthony and Howard Stern or Adam Carolla with his bad teen advice for girls (if you hate women you cant give highschool girls sex advice) FUCK LOVELINE. Every once and a while i check in on what the "guys guys" are talking about and its all bitter old man racist sexist shit, no funny bits, no random hilarity just fuck blacks and women. Theyre turning into FOX news...the more time goes by the more cut off they'll be. The only people tuning in will be old bitter people who want their country back.

          Its over for them! The descent has begun.

          Bet he'd be disappointed if we did away with cheerleaders and beach volleyball.

          (caveat: I did not listen to his rant, so if he covered these sports, feel free to hurl, "listen to the rant!/read the article!" at me, but realize that my doing so may result in holes in my wall. Or red wine stains and wine glass shards.)

          ETA: Or the SI swimsuit issue or godaddy commercials during the Superbowl.
