I found this article a while back regarding women in sports broadcasting. This is a career path I am hoping to go into upon graduating, and I found it really interesting how most people view women as just sideline reporters. I know when I tell people my major they always ask me if I want to be the next Erin Andrews, my answer is always no and people are always surprised by this. It's not the biggest issue involving feminism, but it is a male dominated profession with high male viewership (obviously). And with so many men critiquing the broadcasters it tends to be a very sexist job.
