On a serious note, 66 sports editors voted for Serena Williams as top athlete. I think it’s a good sign that a handful of people out there know the difference between a horse and a human–hail the American educational system. Feministing quoted UN Dispatch writer Mark Goldberg who made this rather astute point:
That’s right. We live in a world in which animals are eligable to win “Female Athlete of the Year” from one of the most important global news agencies. That’s some shameful stuff. And for the record, none of the male athletes of the year were anything but human.
Feministing asked their readers to think of other women (human) athletes that could have been on the list. I’m going to ask readers to think of some male animal athletes so that we can create a whole new list.
