What a pitcher!

I was watching the NCAA softball tournament. As Tennessee pitcher Monica Abbott was twirling a no hitter, someone commented, “she ain’t no Jennie Finch.”
The tone of his voice told me he wasn’t comparing the ladies’ pitching styles. Unfortunately, every female athlete can’t be a gorgeous 6-foot blonde.
At times like these, it must really suck to be a female.
What’s it like to be the most dominant pitcher in college softball, lead your team to the NCAA championship game and in the middle of your finest moment, have some goober talk about how unattractive you are?
If Abbott needed advice on how to handle this situation, she could call the women’s basketball team at Rutgers.
This is the reason Paris Hilton is a household name. This is the reason Britney Spears is a more famous singer than Charlotte Church.
For women, it’s all about the looks.That’s okay if you’re a model. But, it shouldn’t be that way for athletes.
