low standards of Yahoo! Sports writing

There was a time when Yahoo sports produced quality writing that included Game strategies, Game changers, Game pivots, and so on and so forth. But of late, the sports writing has fallen to such despicable standards that we somehow made up our mind to make a representation here, mainly due to our readers request.

The incident that we are placing here is a recent post placed in by the Yahoo sports writer, Joey Gulino, who claims that the German Newspaper, The Bild, had passed a sexist comment against a goal scorer, by name, Giulia Gwinn.

But the truth of the matter is that, it was not the Newspaper, The Bild, that made this comment, but one of Giulia’s team mates, who vociferously expressed that Giulia, is pretty both inside out.

Would there be anything wrong in expressing this? are female athletes not supposed to admire each other’s talent and their beauty? If that be the case, they why would male athletes, be portrayed for their Machismo, manliness and aura? This is what I call a double standard Misogynist view from Yahoo sports, expressed a female reader.

Joey Gulion, you are getting it wrong as usual

Now the question would be, why anyone in the right state of mind, write an article on a comment expressed amidst team quarters and attribute the same, scrupulously blaming it on the German Newspaper.

This is called Fake News, aimed mainly at achieving cheap rating and readership. But the real question is, when the Game was executed in all splendor by the teams in play, other than commenting and discussing on the strategies and game involvement and other game tactics adopted by the teams, here we have Joey Gulino, fabricating News and scrupulously, targeting the German Media, to pull up his post’s rating. Is this the work culture followed by Yahoo sports? expressed a reader’s comment.

In other words, it was Joey Gulino’s mind that had coined this sexist approach to target the players in action on the day of the game, who has chosen not to focus on the exquisite skill set of Giulia but on her appearances, thus merely reducing her to an eye candy than a player of immense talent.

The irony is, this souped up News is the headliner for Yahoo sports, which prompts anyone to question both, the sports writer as well as the publisher. Why would they bring in a dimension that was totally not seen or felt, either by the audience or by the teams involved?
