“Can you tell us about your outfit?” That’s the question put to big-name athletes in this video. The big difference?
The athletes are men. And their responses are priceless.
Watch the video below.
CoverTheAthlete.com has launched the campaign, #CoverTheAthlete to call for equal media treatment for female athletes.
Male sports stars, including Olympic gold medal swimming champion Michael Phelps, are asked the ridiculous questions their female counterparts are confronted with. One response goes something like this:
“What? What are you talking about, man?”
What indeed.
The video closes with the controversial interview with Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard at this year’s Australian Open, where Tennis Australia commentator Ian Cohen asked Bouchard to twirl for the camera and show off her clothes.
