Women in sportscasting

Here's a link to an article in the Globe called "Looks first, knowledge later." I'm actually surprised the Globe published anything like this. They're usually further to the right.

I think the comments from the very attractive sportscasters that they would like sex not to be an issue and would like to be viewed as one of the guys is basically like a rich white legacy using his family and position to get a great job and then saying that he'd like to be just valued as a worker regardless of everything else. Well that's very nice of you to say, but just saying that doesn't change the fact that you obviously benefited from your situation. I'm not saying that they are at fault, or that they shouldn't be as professional as they can, but thinking that they got the job for any reason except genetics is just as bad as rich white guy thinking that it was his stellar B+ grades that got him into Harvard.
