Wimbledon "Babes"

A few days ago Wimbledon organizers admitted to the Daily Mail to booking "babes" on Centre Court, shuffling the...uh...uglies, fuggos, and fatties to the back courts. Some "people" are upset about this because it ignores rank and favors ratings. These are the same people that probably petitioned the idea of Homecoming King and Queen in high school for being a popularity contest. Losers.

So who's a hottie and who's a nottie?

Gisela Dulko: Center Court Hottie

Serena Williams: Nottie

Street Boners had a funny little post about this and really I don't have a problem with it. Tennis is such a girly sport anyway that why not be completely straightforward about it. For clarification purposes "girly sports" are for the most part ones in which the athletes wear outfits instead of uniorms. Here's what I do have a problem with. The term "babe."
GROSS. EW. :(
The last person I heard use the word "babe" had a hole in his jeans that exposed his patchy ass-hair that stared at me as he tried rub his sweaty palms on my lower back at a pool bar. EW. NO. RIGHT?
Even ESPN was all about it with a segment called "Techincally Speaking: Big Babe Tennis" where Pam Shriver, Mary Carillo, and Mary Jo Fernandez talk about Big Babe Tennis as something that is feminine and pretty but filled with crushing backhands and aggressive play. It was full of confusion and the word "babe" everywhere. Yuck. Here it is.
