I am having trouble stringing together a good reaction to this (I'm a little out of it right now, just had a good work out) . The Chicago Tribune is a major American newspaper, the type of journalistic institution that is supposedly eons above blogs and other, less "official" media outlets. Unfortunately this image depicting Pronger in a skirt and referring to him with the female version of his of his name, is a prime example of how fucking sexist and ridiculously juvenile establishment sport publications really are; providing more reason for readers to flock in droves from "traditional newspapers" to other, free, outlets that provide less sexist, more in-depth and intelligent coverage of their favorite sports team.
