SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE WE’VE MADE NO PROGRESS AT ALL.
[Since I don’t take content from other sites, you’ll need to go visit Yahoo! Sports to see the article and photo I am discussing below. Be sure you see the headline.]
This is a GREAT photo. I LOVE this photo. I love that they instead of the cliche spring training photo of some young boy in a Yankees jersey staring wide-eyed at Derek F. Jeter, it’s a girl in shock that she’s getting an autograph from Evan Longoria.
I LOVE the photo. I love that this girl is at Spring Training all decked out in her team’s regalia. (No, You don’t get to make fun of a 14 year old girl for being a Rays fan, if she lives down there, that’s what she’s got.) I agree that it is adorable.
I love everything about this article except for the headline:
“Looks like someone has a crush on Evan Longoria”
Really? Would you have said that if it had been a boy looking at the star of his team with any adoration? Why does she have to have a crush on him? Why can’t she just be thrilled to meet one of her team’s star players? Why does her fandom have to be diminished and demeaned by calling it ‘a crush’?
