    "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.

    Nolan is hot and fun and decently knowledgeable. She's far better than most women in sports media.

    Katie Nolan was pretty funny on her small time show with Fox. Haven't seen her on ESPN, but there is a reason she got the call up.

    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.

    Just went and looked at her. She's really cute, not hot. I give her a 6.5. 9 if I have a 6 pack down.
