Here’s an interesting take on the decision of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews to join the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars: she’s taking her peep-hole scandal one step further by launching herself “into the sphere of celebrity,” which is “becoming a greater draw than her journalism.”
Since being a female sports reporter is working in a man’s world, once she slaps on the sparkles and spandex she may never be taken seriously in her profession again. That may be true, but there’s also been a number of male pro athletes who have bravely donned glittery bell bottoms and dance shoes, with no detriment to their masculinity. It might be career suicide for Erin, or it might be exactly what she needs to take her fame to the next level. [Double X]
