HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" presented a disturbing look at the problems of sexism and ageism facing female sports reporters Tuesday night.
But the most eye-opening part of Jon Frankel's piece was NFL sideline reporter Laura Okmin saying Fox Sports benched her for a few games last season in favor of a younger female reporter with no NFL reporting experience.
Neither Okmin nor Frankel named the other sideline reporter. But sources tell me that Okmin was talking about 29-year old Fox colleague, Holly Sonders.
Sonders jumped to Fox from Golf Channel, where she served as an on-air host.
