Documentary puts NBA players in unflattering light

[Sam Peel]

An ESPN original film about gender inequalities in sports disrespects a handful of current and former NBA players. That and more on today's Yahoo! Sports Minute with Angela Sun - the show that brings you the must-see moments in sports every day.

A terrible story.Why put the pictures of certain players in the story?If a male reporter did this he would lose his job.Let's be real and understand that too not many people watch or follow the WNBA so why would you pay a lady a big endorsement deal?

Seems like the double standard they're arguing is that female athletes will only get sponsorships if they're good looking, while it doesn't matter for male athletes.

But someone like her, a freak of nature is the exception. I'm not sure if she's even endorsing women's clothes.

Brittney Griner is breaking down another barrier by being the first openly-gay athlete to be endorsed by Nike, but don’t think they’re going to salt her game, she has already made up her mind to model more of an androgynous style of clothing.

“It clicked for me,” Griner says. “I used to do the whole baggy, hard-core, I’m-a-boy look. Then I went through a preppy phase. Now I have the athletic, bow-tie look. I found my style.”
