[Cracked Sidewalks] Attacking the Poll Attacker

[Herman Cain]

Honestly, I can't think of any female sportswriters off hand.  Many female broadcasters, anchors, analysts, commentators, etc., but they're all in an on-screen or in-game role.

It's actually kind of sad if you think about it.

Who could forget Lisa Olson. She was a legit redhead who covered the Patriots. Zeke Mowatt got fine for proudly displaying his man hood. For a while Mowatt became a verb.

Dana O'Neill is really good. I always thought Lori Nickel did a nice job for the Journal-Sentinel as well. Not sure if she's still there. But you're right, not a ton of names come to mind.

Lori is still there.  She and I exchanged a Happy New Year note a few days ago.

Washington Post has four female sportswriters assigned to each major team.  Liz Clarke covers the Redskins, Candice Buckner the Wizards, Chelsea Janes the Nationals, and Isabelle Khurshudyan for the Caps.

Helene Elliott has been out here with LA Times for a long while...excellent Hockey writer

Among those not named here so far is one of the most prominent -- USA Today columnist Nancy Armour, an MU alum.

(Another MU alum that was already mentioned: Mary Schmitt Boyer of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

Karen Crouse has been at the NY Times for about 15 years, and she was writing in SoCal before that.

Jourdan Rodrigue has become the main Panthers beat writer for the Charlotte Observer and is doing a great job; she's the writer who got into a minor kerfuffle with Cam Newton last year.

Lori Nickel has been at the Journal Sentinel for awhile now and covers the Packers some.

AP has several female sportswriters: Beth Harris, Janie McCauley, Jenna Fryer, Kristie Rieken, Teresa Walker.

Terry Taylor was AP sports editor for 20+ years and annually turned up on "most influential women in sports" lists.

Rachel Blount is still at the Minneapolis paper, where she covered the North Stars and Timberwolves for several years.

Rachel Nichols was an outstanding sportswriter before she went to TV, where she is very good IMHO.

Plenty of others. But sure, it's still predominantly white males. I'm not sure if that's "sad" or not. I have seen no sign that talented females who want to be sportswriters and move up through the ranks are being denied opportunities. Indeed, newspapers want to diversify more than ever now, and that's good.

Erin Andrews didn't make your list?

Erin Andrews didn't make your list?   

Is she a sportswriter?

I mean, did Roseanne Barr make your list?

Roseanne Barr?  Strange question, but the answer is No.  Ever since she dissed the National Anthem with the spitting...simply cannot condone that.

Andrews a sportswriter?  She's a sports journalist, not sure about writer.  Different mediums and such.  I like the barriers she has helped to break down, especially the old caveman thinking how sports journalists are required to act in clubhouses, dugouts and such. Good for her.

Don't forget how female sports reporters are supposed to dress too.

Great Interview with Lisa Olson from back in the day. She was one hot and sassy gal.

My post was in response to Benny's post:

What Benny said was specifically about female sportswriters and was specifically NOT about female broadcasters. Erin Andrews is a broadcaster and not a sportswriter, which is why she wasn't on my list.

I know ... sticking to the actual subject ... that's so out of the usual Scoop realm.

Has she ever been on your list for other things?

Yes, she is No. 1 on my list of irrelevant names being brought up by dopes in interwebs chat rooms.
