A Blitzkrieg of sports, pop-culture, and stupidity. We'll tell you what you need to be aware of. Randomly featuring award winning opinion & satire of viral videos, HS Dunks and buzzer beaters, the MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, MLS and MMA as well as critique of mainstream media with a New York slant. And, of course, the Blitz Babes.
“The USTA declined [the] request to include certain footage which the USTA determined was not in the best interest of the sport,” according to the complaint.
The suit filed Friday in White Plains federal court seeks a permanent injunction against “Venus and Serena,” which opened last month in limited release. The film was expected to air on Showtime, but yesterday the pay-TV channel said it is in “discussions with the filmmakers and their representations about this film.”
The USTA contends that broadcast journalists Maiken Baird and Michelle Major, along with VSW Productions, included footage that “the USTA made clear it would not license for use in the film.”
Here’s what Miss Utah was asked: “A recent report shows that in 40 percent of American families with children, women are the primary earners, yet they continue to earn less than men. What does this say about society?”
We’re not sure what this says about society, but it sure says something about the Miss Universe Organization that oversees the competition. We would refer them to the Web site for the Independent Women’s Forum, where there’s a terrific new video called “Straight Talk About the Wage Gap.”
It points out that when differences in education levels, in the fields of work, in hours worked and choices about family are factored in, the so-called wage gap largely disappears. It points out, too, that “younger, college-educated women in urban areas actually out-earn their male counterparts.”
So by all means, let’s all indulge our feelings of superiority toward a 21-year-old model. But what of the geniuses whose question sounds like it came straight from Ashley Judd’s Twitter feed?
