Whitlock is right. No female that looks like him is getting on TV
Maria Taylor is gorgeous. I'm sure she doesn't want anyone to notice that so she dresses like a hooker. Personally I like that look
Let's not pretend reading scripts on the sideline of carefully controlled information makes you a reporter. It doesn't. The ass clowns in the booth could read it.
If you are eye candy then be the best eye candy you can be and get over yourself
"Beauty, most especially in television, has a privilege that trumps virtually all other privileges. Beauty intoxicates TV executives, bloggers and journalists, and it masks a lack of accomplishment, qualifications and skill. Beauty transformed Katie Nolan from bartender to seven-figure personality, Emmy Award-winner and the darling of aroused bloggers and TV critics willing to ignore her pedestrian humor and inability to execute live television,” Whitlock wrote about Nolan.
I don't know shit about Nolan. But you'd have to be a dense motherfucker to not see why Whitlock is getting shredded for this. It's one thing to recognize the influence that beauty has in escalating people in society. It's another thing entirely to accuse someone else of having success entirely because of their looks.

I actually agree with @dnc and @GreenRiverGatorz here. Whitlock is absolutely correct. Nobody thinks for one minute all the hot Fox anchors or hot sideline chicks got there solely on ability. But, he could have made that point without singling anyone out. Just makes no sense to trash some woman for no apparent reason?
Katie Nolan is an idiot, regardless of Whitlock's point. This is true of most women commentators in sports. They're hired to give people sweatpant boners.
Is there bad blood between them or some shit? I don't get the context of why anyone needed to be named, but I haven't read the entire article. Still, 90% of America knows exactly what you are talking about when you say:
"Beauty, most especially in television, has a privilege that trumps virtually all other privileges. Beauty intoxicates TV executives, bloggers and journalists, and it masks a lack of accomplishment, qualifications and skill."
Leave it at that. Most of the world agrees. Single someone out, and expect backlash.

If there's such a thing as hot white bitch privileges, she's it.

Never even heard of Nolan.

Her shtick is the girl next door who has always been "one of the guys" but then got hot later in life so now has a personality and looks.
The type of girl you fart on in 8th grade then ask to homecoming freshman year.
