| Sportswomen in the media - as rare as unicorns* |
Sports writers Phil Rothfield and Darren Hadland, in a ‘lighthearted review of the year’s sports highlights’, today declared Black Caviar, a horse, as ‘Sportswoman of the Year’.
Their 'Sportsman of the Year' is the Australian cricket captain,
Michael Clarke.
In response to outrage on social media, Rothfield pointed
out that Black Caviar is a girl and implied that the piece was funny. Unfortunately, as Wendy Harmer has so effectively pointed out, this is wrong. He is possibly wondering why so many are so angry.
