we wouldn't do any blogger

One tip we've received quite a few times from readers is a piece written on sporting blog Epic Carnival that pitted two female sports bloggers against each other in a "Who Would You Do" contest. The emails we've received voiced a degree of outrage that a blog would objectify a woman, let alone a peer.

Two things we don't quite understand:

~Sports blogs (the primary tipsters we heard from were sports bloggers) complaining about objectification? When 90% of sports blogs feature pictures of scantily clad women next to posts about sledding or other things completely irrelevant to it?

~Why you would say "they're not public figures" to a site that believes that if bloggers want to be taken seriously as journalists that they should have a light of scrutiny and mockery cast upon them the same way a sporto might do to a Joe Morgan or an everyone at ESPN.

Our biggest problem with the piece was that it wasn't that interesting, felt way too long and too soft, and was no different than any other misogynistic sporto or celebrity blog post. If done well, the idea could have been a poignant cap on the self-aggrandizing sports blogtown that interviews each other and incessantly compliments each other on a job blandly done.

But as for sexualizing two women who are being sexualized for money by Fanhouse? Your outrage seems misguided.
