As a self-proclaimed football gal, I feel I should comment on this MSN piece entitled NFL Eye Candy. (Link via Go Fug Yourself.) It's my duty.
The thing about it is that I can sum it up in these four words: lots of white quarterbacks. There are a couple obvious reasons for this--first, QBs are the most famous and visible members of teams. Secondly, I believe the writer of the article is white. People tend to be more attracted to the familiar, so that's white QBs on both counts. I still wish she'd corrected for this a little more, though. Sure, you have to include Tom Brady, because you have eyes in your head. But Tony Romo? Peyton Manning? I love Peyton as much as the next person, but foxy he is not. It doesn't get silly until the end, when she tacks on some old-school players, and those players are six white quarterbacks and Jerry Rice. C'mon.
Other than that, I guess it just comes to down to personal taste. However! She did leave off my personal favorite eye candy NFL guy, perhaps because he's not a player. But Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin?
Nice.
