Today's sport story is about an Australian swimmer, Leisel Jones, who is preparing for fourth stint at an Olympic games and all the Australian media can talk about is the size of her thighs.
Are you f**king kidding me!
This women is a gold medal swimming champion and earned her spot as a representative of my country at the London Olympic games and arseholes at the Daily Telegraph think its journalism to comment on a woman's weight.
The 'journalist' - I use that term lightly because a columnist is not a journalist - thought she had the right to comment on Leisel having a very pounds to her weight and that she didn't deserve her spot on the Australian swimming team.
She called her fat and said that the photographs of her practising her swimming had nothing to do with the body image debate, and that discussion of her 'condition' was legitimate and not an attack on the sisterhood. Maybe she needs to step away from her keyboard and take a minute to consider how her words affect other people. And the fact she has a job that allows to express every puny little thought bubble she has, it still doesn't give her the right to be a bitch.
There are some women that become bitches when they get jealous of other women's successes.
There are some women like to bring down other women down just to feel about themselves.
And while I don't agree that all women are like this, unfortunately the stereotype steams from somewhere.
But this 'journalist' needs to shut up and start reporting on things that matter.
FYI - I am not even a sports fan. I think the Olympics are boring but this sh*t just isn't on.
