Did You Guys Know espnW Existed?

So I was doing my daily routine of sifting through a few sites to see what’s what in today’s sport’s scene, and I happened to come across a story on Jezebel titled, ‘Ladies Get Their Own ESPN’. I was intrigued, but not necessarily shocked. It makes sense. Women dig sports too, and there’s no reason there shouldn’t be an ESPN more dedicated to the sports they enjoy. Obviously, HGTV, Bravo, and Lifetime just aren’t enough.

Apparently, women make up 25% of ESPN’s regular audience, which surprised the s**t out of me. How many girls do you know that wake up and lay on the couch watching the same episode of SportsCenter over, and over, and over again? I don’t know any. Which is kind of surprising now that I think about it, because I play a hell of a lot of softball.

But like I said, women getting their own website didn’t really surpise me so much as the fact that this isn’t just an idea, this site actually exists! It has made it past all the stages of production, and it is a full on website with articles and everything. It’s pretty cute.

I decided to check out the site, and to my surprise again, it wasn’t all chick stuff. Yeah, so the first story was about Olympic Skier, Gretchen Bleiler, but then it moves on to Albert Haynesworth, College Basketball, and the Charlotte Hornets. I was able to read more than one article, so so far so good. All of the authors on the site that I saw were women, but you honestly couldn’t tell by reading the articles. I think it’s a good thing that ESPN is starting to branch out from its typical and rather boring mold that they created into something that might end up being a bit more creative/original.

I just hope they take this opportunity to not be so ESPN like. Maybe not quite so PC.

We’ve got some picture galleries they can put up.
