Hard Snow Life: There IS Such a Thing As a Dumb Question

Like many of you, we check out SkiRacing.com on a daily basis. There's some great material on there, though we preferred the print version more than the new digital standard. But, as I'm sure many of you would agree, not everybody is right all the time.

This is a screenshot from the poll on the front page of SkiRacing.com.

Give me a break. Is this where we've ended up, after the most successful US women's teams ever? Really? Is this how we can grow and develop women's sports in this country? "You've done some great work out there ladies, but we also will be evaluating you on your physical appearance and the extent to which it stimulates our sexual sensibilities."

I mean seriously, if the rednecks at Nitro Circus (who are, by their own admission, "testosterone driven") can get it pretty much right, why can't we?

Hey, Ski Racing, you're doing it wrong:

Note to the editors of SkiRacing.com: If traffic is down, try writing about something like national team selections. There is no need to swing so low as asking who we'd most like to make out with.

What??? Skiracing magazine is retreating into male chauvinism, making women sex objects. Those guys should be spanked, hard.

Lindsay and Julie wouldn't be doing photoshoots in bikinis for SI and Lange if they didn't want to be gawked at. If they wanted to be taken as athletes only they would have just stuck to skiing but Mancuso is posting pics everyday of herself in a bikini in Hawaii. Have at I say.
