This will simply be a repost from Christine Brennan’s blog about the sexist ad the Chicago Tribune ran featuring NHL Flyers player Chris “Chrissy” Pronger. It always amazes me that feminizing male professional athletes is seen as humorous, an appropriate marketing strategy, and a saavy attempt to denigrate a male athlete’s level of play.

Sports bloggers have weighed in as well here, and here as well as others.
