An irreverent look at the news, issues, and personalities of women's sports from a feminist perspective.

It's bad enough watching Dottie Pepper call a golf event in which Christina Kim is participating, but recently she wrote in an article that Kim has "Ochocinco Syndrome." Aside from clearly hurting Kim's feelings as evinced by her Twitter feed, that statement is also inaccurate. Chad nee Johnson is a showboater who lauds his own talent and disrespects his opponents. Kim is emotional and excited on the course, which certainly can be annoying to those who like their golf staid and proper, but unfailingly supportive of others. She's also one of the games greatest assets at a time when it desperately needs them: she's fun to watch, a bit flamboyant, smart, articulate, dresses well.... She's hard to dislike, unless inexplicably you're Dottie Pepper. I can't evaluate Kim's claim that Pepper herself was not the nicest human being when she golfed, but she's certainly not the nicest human being when she's indulging her pet peeves and taking us along with her.
