Ridiculous USA Today column proves that the demand for misogyny in sports far exceeds the supply
The demand for misogyny in American sports far exceeds the available supply.
That's a problem for USA Today columnist Nancy Armour.
Armour has built much of her professional brand around finding sexism and misogyny everywhere she looks in sports.
So, what happens when women reach a better position in the sports world than ever before? Armour has to look harder.
Much harder.
In a column published Tuesday , Armour argued that American sports are happy to take women's money, but don't want women in their space or to treat them with "even the slightest shred of decency." Strong claim.
What evidence did Armour use to support the idea that American sports, as a whole, don't want women around? A sports-betting ad featuring a nearly nude Sydney Sweeney , Arch Manning laughing at a stupid AI video, and an architectural rendering that included almost no women.
That's it.
That's her entire case.
The arena rendering barely warrants a response.
An architectural rendering of Philadelphia’s future arena showed almost no women, the image was replaced within two days , and the building will be home to the city’s WNBA team.
If that is evidence that women aren’t welcome in sports, the definition of evidence has lost all meaning.
There's another problem, though.
Armour has no trouble finding misogyny in an advertisement, a joke or a computer-generated crowd.
