Watching ESPN Sports Shows..

You know whats very interesting?.. The fact that 20 yrs ago there were a few gals who were given jobs sitting around the ESPN sports table analyzing games with hotshot male hosts... For many years I thought to myself while watching these shows, that the woman were sure knowledgable about the sports/subject matter but always felt that it was just a ploy by the boys upstairs ..(Attempt to portray Progressive trends) For many years the woman were certainly able to contribute to the show adequately..

But during the last couple of years while watching these shows I noticed that the women on the shows were becoming more comfortable to the point, that I know feel they are on an equal footing with the guys..High Energy, SportSmarts, and Humor

Who would of thunk... It was once a man's club only..
