Thaisa's Bio

What business does a woman have reporting sports?"

How can a woman report on a sport she has never played?

What can a woman tell me about sports that I don t already know?

Questions. Questions that always get shot across the table or bar whenever a man decides he wants to challenge the validity of a
female sports writer or television personality.

The answers to these questions, is never easy to deliver. With all the poise, dignity and knowledge one can muster together, you can only attempt to speak with confidence and not allow the rage in your belly to take over. However, quite often it never ends there. The next stop is usually a round of sports trivia questions, of which you are not allowed to pause or stutter. But let s say ESPN columnist Scoop Jackson walks into a bar, I d guess the male patrons would break their necks to buy him a beer and shoot the breeze for hours about anything from football to hip hop.

Women have always had to prove themselves in male dominated arenas and work twice as hard. And when it comes to sports, it s
as if most men would rather see a female president than see a woman on ESPN. Perhaps we can do both (smile).

For many women involved in sports reporting, their story starts with I was a daddy s girl and eventually I grew my own love for
sports. However, as entertaining and intriguing as most sports are, why can t women just want to be involved in something exciting?

Why can t we thoroughly enjoy a good football game without being motivated by men in tight pants? Why can t we want to see how
many points Kobe Bryant will rack up, without being more impressed with his physical physique?

    No worries Thai—great to have you back!!!

    As for specifics: your article last time around was excellent so I wouldn't want you to feel constrained by a suggested article topic.

    Anything thought provoking on the world of sports would be ideal. Try to think outside of the box if you can. I'll leave the rest up to you =)

    Let me know if you have further questions. Can't wait to read your piece!

    Hey Thaisa,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Thaisa!

    Welcome back to bleacherreport! I'm a bit disappointed that you're an Ohio State fan, but the fact that you'll be counted on a Gator in Rex Grossman to lead your Bears evens things out :)
