Danica Patrick confronted wreck 38th finish a frustrating first Daytona 500 on Monday night girl. Now, racing commentator looks sexist attacks.
The conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh condemned her support of President Obama Patrick contraception rule: "He said," I leave it up to the government to make good decisions in America. "..." Limbaugh mocked. "What do you expect a woman leader? I do not know why everyone is so shocked."
This is nothing unusual about the sexist remarks Limbaugh, but it seems ridiculous for him to dismiss Patrick as a "leading woman" - as it seems unfair to simply summarize the girl, the "sexy".
Patrick has recently commented on the objectification of women in the sports industry. "I do not quite understand why, when you're referring to a girl, a female athlete in particular, that used to be" sexy, "he said." Is there another word you can use to describe me? "
Yes, Patrick was young and pretty, and of course, he also plays on her sex appeal to the financial benefits. However, Patrick caused a stir in the racing industry, worthy, it is in competition. The male-dominated field, both IndyCar and NASCAR, Patrick keeps its own borders, while other women break.
So I think a little thought, could find better words to describe Patrick. That talented? We are a pioneer? Or courageous?
But the Fox 5 San Diego sports anchor Ross Shimabuku joked that he was the one that "does the" B ", and it's not" nice "complaining that Patrick's remarks demonstrate that he is" always have a chip on his shoulder, trying to prove something. "
