I miss the days when you rarely saw women's sports on ESPN.com outside of Tennis or Bikini Volleyball because you had to actively search for in sublinks.

Then one day, ESPN decided to plaster women's sports at the Top of the Front page, acting like this is what everyone watches, putting in Women's boring blowouts galore March Madness ABOVE the Men's Tournament and scores.

ESPN stopped reflecting reality (while pretending it was) and stopped giving their core audience what they wanted a long time ago.

And ESPN is bad at it....social engineering that has always been met with derision and contempt...but they won't give up the Cause until we all bend the knee.

Then the caption should’ve read “All the icons that ESPN has a vested interest in”.

2. Even so, who fricking cares? ESPN owns the rights to the WNBA and has huge interests in continuing and growing the leagues momentum


That’s fine, and it’s their prerogative. They should also be fine getting clowned when sports fans recognize how ridiculous it is.

Company that owns the media rights to the WNBA attempts to promote WNBA. Absolute fricking shocker I tell ya.

Nobody is shocked that ESPN would do this…..doesn’t make it any less ridiculous to portray some of these people as icons.

No man should ever be able or want to cite this list. Hopefully you're just a dyke.
