I didn't realize that this was a thing.
Ranking of things in the USA strikes again; in this case, women athletes. This award, for 2024, was recently given to Caitlin Clark BY THE AP. The sports department of the AP has somewhat lower intelligence than the rest of the news service, apparently. In a team sport, such as Basketball, many of you will agree with me, that it makes little sense to single out a particular individual in a team to whom to award something like this. If I were Caitlin Clark, I would be embarrassed. I would also be concerned that, winning such an award, there would be resentment among the rest of the team members that will hamper the team performance for the 2025 season.
But for the media, it is more important to get their financial advantage than to be concerned about what happens when they break a story.
