2009 Female Athlete of the Year

[sandpit]

Dubious sportswomanship not withstanding, Serena Williams wins in a landslide. But, suprisingly to me, Zenyatta finished second! Short article here (http://msn.foxsports.com/tennis/story/Serena-Williams-is-2009-AP-Female-Athlete-of-Year-55066554).

Are there sports that human female athletes compete in in a non-Olympic year? LOL!
I never heard of the third-place vote getter. I guess noobody much watches WNBA. Too many TV channels!

Zenyatta reportedly said when told news "Take that, Rachel Alexandra!"

How about some respect for Informed Decision? She should be a serious candidate for Sprinter of the Year.

Reminds me of the T-shirt I saw for sale yesterday:

I saw this earlier and as a sports fan, this was a really poor year for women's sports. When your top two choices are someone who cusses out a line judge and only won 3 singles titles I think, or a mare than happened to win a race at the right time of the year, it says something about the overall quality of women's sports.
