Summary:

In whats ‘manly,’ and whats not for athletes it described how women are starting to not be housewives and are becoming part of the workforce but not many are sports broadcasters. It also gave an example of Mark Sanchez taking off the playoffs for maternity leave and how people were appalled and upset. Then in The Televised Sports Manhood Formula discussed how it is a majority of white men watch sports and are seen on the commercials. It also talked about how women are usually found only as sexy figures or paired with a male. Finally the video clip was on the top ten shots in hockey.

Reaction

In the first article I have to say that I think it was dumb of the fans to get upset for him leaving for the birth of his child. He is a human too not just an athlete and he has a life outside of football. I would want my husband there. It is a once in a life time chance. I think it is very true what was said about males watching sports and how it is manly men who watch them. I also agree with the fact that it is usually better when men broadcast sports than when women so. I’m not saying women can’t or aren’t good at it but usually men are more natural at it and it also attracts men to watch the sport more than if a women was broadcasting. I also really liked the clip insert.
