Slightly OT - The women of Fox Sports

Postby Edrick » Fri Jun 20, 2014 9:24 am

I don't think its possible to miss this, but it has become clear that one of Fox Sports' primary strategies for establishing a foothold is to simply hire the best looking collection of women ever assembled by a network. I'm sure this will go over well with women's groups but I think they're smart in segmenting the market that way. I also think it would be wise to go all-in on the gambling side of things, for many of the same reasons. Shows concerning the events but ABOUT the lines on a nightly basis would have a pretty good chance of attracting a loyal following.

In closing...

It had crossed my mind too. I'm no Charissa Thompson fan, but there's plenty of others getting the job done.

Seems to be the overall strategy for the company. Every fox news show has at least one or two attractive women to contrast the cantankerous pasty guys.

Also Katie Nolan... :P

Fox's Foxes? I like 'em.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Is this unique to Fox though? Seems like an industry wide trend the last 5-10 years, that has been getting stronger and stronger every year. Heck, outside of sports, I don't think male news anchors even exist anymore. They should do another anchorman movie called "anchorwoman"...
