On Brittney Griner and Media Frames

[Content Note: Heterocentrism.]Jess has a set of great posts concerning the WNBA's #1 draft pick, Brittney Griner, the very first on Griner speaking about as being a lesbian in women's sports and also the second around the ensuing media coverage and it is heteronormative frame, which, as I have noted before, can also be connected using the entitlements we're feeling we're owed by public figures—as if a person is not really "out" until they disclose that info on the coverage of the magazine to "us."Anyway. Read them!I really like this: "Okay, Nike. Word is you are wanting to endorse an freely gay athlete. You should get Ms. Griner on the telephone.Inch YES.
