So this morning I was eating breakfast watching SportsCenter not really paying attention to the ticker running below.... but something crawled across the screen that made me go "Huh?"..... and then obviously I had to rewind and make sure I had read it correctly. The word for word news was:
"Tulsa Shock C Glory Johnson-Griner will not play this season after announcing she is pregnant. Johnson-Griner married Phoenix Mercury C Brittney Griner last month."
Ok so obviously there's nothing wrong with that I guess. But the wording of the news item? Maybe I'm just being picky here.... but somewhere in my subconscious I'm still one of those guys where if I hear the news that a woman is pregnant, quickly followed by a sentence about "by the way" a recent marriage..... I kind of expect a man's name to follow.
No biggie.... it just made an otherwise totally boring sports-related announcement into a mildly amusing one for a few seconds.
