A Pretty Good Comment on Women’s Soccer

When men are outstanding athletes, they have strength, courage, athleticism. When women are outstanding athletes, it’s only sex appeal [“Looking Good,” July 8]. Shame on you, L.A. Times and Mike Penner.

I just can’t accept the Women’s World Cup as a legitimate sporting event. The players give 100% and don’t complain about the refs. They don’t talk trash, go on strike or choke their coaches. There are no $100-million contracts or drug problems. What kind of professional sport is that?
