Women sports journalists - they're there, but not seen

Stephanie Wright of The Michigan Daily weighs in on a poll question Sports Illustrated had on their Website the other day asking: "Would you watch ‘The Sports Reporters’ if the panel only consisted of female journalists?” 'The Sports Reporters' is an ESPN show. The answer was 60% would not. This goes back to a piece I mentioned in a previous post by Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated who suggested that maybe it was time for a permanent female member  to join the Sports Reporter team. Then he wrote another column suggesting that it be an all-female cast. I would like to see the response if SI went back and rephrased the poll question to "Would you watch 'The Sports Reporters' if the panel had a female journalistas a permament member?"
