Maria!

In this morning's (UC)LA Times ETC. section, USC's Steve Johnson was listed as earning a qualifying draw wild card in the upcoming BNP Paribas Open. Kudos to the Staff for mentioning that Steve is a Trojan!

Then, at the end of the same paragraph, the "same" (UC)LA Times mentioned that Maria Sanchez also earned a qualifying draw wild card in the same BNP Paribas Open. However, the Staff writers neglected to write that Maria is the #1 Women's Collegiate Player in the nation, and that she is a Trojan!

Is this bias or sexism, or both?
