Danica Finally Wins One

By | April 21, 2008 | Racing | 5 Comments

Well, well, well… Danica Patrick finally won a race.

As a woman I should probably rise up and cheer. Hooray! She is the first female IRL winner. It even makes me feel a little bit better about the whole misogyny in sports media thing.

How come instead I just keep thinking, Oh good, maybe now she won’t have to act slutty for money anymore.

Poor Danica. I think it is too late for you to ever win with the ladies. I know I can’t take you seriously. This isn’t even the sleaziest picture of you I could find.


There is another great post on this subject over at The Big Lead.

    Unfortunately, I have to agree. I watched that race, but I would have been a whole lot happier had she been able to win without all that shameless self-promotion. Hopefully, she can now make a career out of winning instead of magazine spreads. -Mallory

    I completely agree, then again, there are a bunch of topless Carl Edward photos out there.

    My first thought was, well shit she WINS and then she CRIES about it like a damn GIRL.

    Gidge, she is a damn GIRL and crying is what we, sometimes, do when we’re happy, sad, angry or it’s, um, Tuesday. However, draping onesself over the hood of a car…well, that’s something altogether different. On the other hand, she’s workin’ what her momma gave her.
