That took a longer than I thought it would...
I'm just going to put this out there and see what happens.
It seems that it took a VERY long time for Broadsheet to get anything posted about this story that wasn't just about "race" but talking about a couple of groups of women in college basketball's highest eschelons.
I'm openly wondering why it took so long for a comment to be made. It's Monday night now, but the story had been running since Wednesday.
This isn't a swipe. There could be several reasons why no attention had been paid before now. There was a long weekend for some people. There are certainly bigger big fish to fry in the political/global scene.
But I dare say that had this been a different group or ethnicitiy of women involved, I think that it would have been brough to the fore much more quickly.
I'm glad that it's here to be debated now, but I hope that Broadsheet and Salon in general can learn from this that they might need to be a bit quicker on the uptake when it comes to something this straight-forwardly sexist, bigoted, and racist.
