... And more stupid journalism: “Hamlin is the first woman to carry the flag since 2006”.
So, she’s not the first woman to carry the flag. Shall we restart the count of female firsts each day?
Note to the bloody enemedia: What the HECK does the sex of the flag bearer matter?! When I used to watch, I watched for the skill of the competitors. I figured everyone on the team must be pretty awesome. Sex had nothing to do with it.
AAAAARGH.
I’m a chick, but I HATE the chickification of sports.
