Female Athletes in the Spotlight


Last night a friend called to talk with Harriet, but she told him she would call him back during the commercials. You see, Harriet was savoring watching the Olympics, where only once every four years she can enjoy watching female athletes featured on television in any way in an equal proportion to men.

During the broadcast, the NBC social media report indicated that 70% of the Tweets and Facebook messages involve female athletes, so obviously Harriet is not the only interested fan of women's sports out there.
