Jason Whitlock is a giant tool

There's a reason Jason Whitlock got axed from ESPN.com's stable of columnists. He's a sh*tty writer who thinks that page clicks = quality. Moreover, he's a dick.

In his column today for FoxSports.com (where he fits just perfectly), Whitlock complained about Serena Williams's performance in between rhapsodizing about the appropriate amount of "booty" on a woman- as judged by him, of course.

You can call me unfair. You can even scream that I'm sexist.

Okay. You're unfair. You're sexist. Your wimpy thesis that Williams's physical appearance is relevant because it's negatively impacting her performance is BS. In case you didn't notice, Serena Williams just won her third Wimbledon title (beating out her sister Venus). To me, that signifies a pretty damned hot athlete at the top of her game. But no, according to Whitlock, Serena's still too chunky.

She'd rather eat, half-ass her way through non-major tournaments and complain she's not getting the respect her 11-major-championships résumé demands. She complains about being ranked No. 2 in the world when she's not bitching on Twitter or her blog about new rules that forbid Wimbledon players from eating in the locker room. Seriously, how else can Serena fill out her size 16 shorts without grazing at her stall between matches?

Stall? Grazing? Are you frakking kidding me??? Heaven forbid a woman, an incredibly physically active woman, actually eat. Oh no, that would make her some sort of pack-animal or livestock.

Screw you, Jason Whitlock. Athletes should be judged as athletes by their in-game performance, not whether some hack sports columnist with a weird Jeff George fetish thinks she's as hot as Beyonce. If Whitlock has any doubt about Williams's physical ability, then he should challenge her to a bare-knuckle brawl. I'd pay to see that one.
