[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t watch any sports, but even I know who this girl is.  I assume (?) and hope she will get some big endorsements.[b] She is a pretty girl[/b] and that will help her—think volleyballer Gabby Reese.

You sure about that?

Don't be that dick that trashes a talented athlete based on her looks. It's mean. And it's sexist. [/quote]

She is not a pretty girl. That was what was challenged.
It is not sexist.[/quote]

That' is an irrelevant opinion to the discussion. And it is sexist when there is not that sort of focus on appearance on male athletes and their worth. That IS sexist. [/quote]

Well given the articles on how men who are talented athletes benefit from NIL deals in the NCAA while women who are only sort of talented but definitely willing to flaunt their looks on social media benefit more, there's reality to back it up. It just so happens that it's still true that NIL deals for women go more to women who are considered attractive. It doesn't seem to matter as much for men. And that stinks for really talented but not conventionally attractive female athletes. It just does.

Though I think there's substantial room to disagree on Caitlin Clark's looks.[/quote]
