I am a heterosexual man and a HUGE sports fan. However, I find it disgusting how many alleged sports shows stoop to sexual language, bawdiness, and objectifying themes in order to discuss sports. It makes no difference if you’re watching Pardon the Interruption on ESPN, The Hot List on ESPN News, or listening to Kevin Kiley on ESPN radio. Topics such as Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning will inevitably deteriorate into: Tom Brady dates super models. Legitimate issues such as whether or not Michelle Wie should stick to the LPGA can barely last ten seconds of commentary before somebody interjects that “she’s hot.” Last summer, Kevin Kiley was discussing the disappointing second half of the Dodgers’ season. The topic of a particular call-in show was: Are the Dodgers a one night stand that looked like a smokin’ hot chick while you were drunk, but who is sagging and fat now that you’ve woken up sober?
