Yeah there are definitely way more accomplished female athletes this year. She was a nice story for about two weeks.

why would the AP need to make news? they are the news. she was the most notable female athlete this year. name another who made as many headlines as this girl.

So a girl is as athletic as a boy before the parties go through puberty. This is not news, nor is it news when a girl can compete with boys in athletic events because of this reality. If a girl did this in college or the minor leagues, then by all means, give her the award. However, giving this award to her without thinking about the true impact here is belittling to other female athletes who had tremendous years.

Accepting that adult males are better athletes than adult females at the highest levels is not sexist or intolerant. Celebrating Davis' accomplishment as something more than it was does not serve to advance female athletics. Kudos to what she did in the LLWS, but the title is better awarded to a female athlete at the highest level who dominated her competition at the pinnacle.

I can't be faux-raged about this bc I don't know a ton of other female athletes that significantly achieved in 2014.

Just shows how dumb womens sports are, besides MMA and even that is way worse than the mens. Ronda Rousey should have won.
