Default Re: 10 Hottest Girls in Poker?

I mean, come on: (regarding Chantel McNulty)

[ QUOTE ]
This 22 year old Texan is perhaps better known for her recent boob job and erratic love life than her poker skills.

or (on Isabelle Mercier):

[ QUOTE ]
Prior to turning to a poker career, she earned an undergraduate law degree from the Université de Montréal and practiced commercial law for a year.

[/ QUOTE ]

but they missed the part where they say "Now, she walks around in TV ads with 'PokerStars.NET' embroidered into the ass of her pants".

I can understand why they segregate tennis. Or volleyball. Or any of 9,998 other sports where women would make next to nothing if they had to compete openly against men. Why not play up Maria Sharapova's sexuality when you could only claim that "she's a great talent (for a woman)"? The full segregation already does the demeaning, so it costs us nothing.

Poker is better than this.

It's such a unique activity. Women have no biological disadvantage, they have a rare opportunity to compete as equals. Poker doesn't fit the mold that tennis, volleyball, or any other of those sports does. We're only going to damage poker by trying to squeeze it into such a mold.

Women poker players deserve better than this.
