This Downey Column Had No Place in Sports

I am shocked and amazed at the senselessness and duplicity of Mike Downey’s “Having a Field Day” column. It had absolutely nothing to do with the world of sports; and was a self-serving and misguided attempt at satire, fueled in large part by the womanizing of two politicians and a preacher.

It simply failed to make any point whatsoever, except to disparage women and to demonstrate Downey’s lack of creativity and reliance on tired sexual innuendo. All this from a writer who criticized the swimsuit edition as having no place in sports.
