When it comes to the stereotypical idea of the “sports world,” some people, years ago and perhaps even today, would say that it’s a filed dominated by men, a type of job that very few women could do. However, those people (unless they’re jokingly attempting to impersonate Ron Burgundy) would be and are incredibly wrong (and probably more than a little sexist). There are a number of popular female sports reporters to be found throughout the world today, covering everything from baseball and football to golf and wrestling. These women are not valued purely for their looks but for the passion and knowledge that they possess about the sports that they cover, and that’s what makes them so likable. Here are the 15 most popular female sports reporters in the world.
