Fuck you WNBA Public Relations!

The WNBA recently unveiled its plans to boost support for the league and its bottom line: femme-ing up its players.  Instead of focusing on the amazing athleticism these women possess, instead of putting more money behind marketing and media for the teams and the league, their answer is to make these athletes "women first."  There are all sorts of gender issues here: the sexualization of women, the homophobia that exists in sports, women forced to change instead society moving forward.  It's just disgusting that we are still forced to deal with things like this in 2008.
