Texas A&M Women’s Basketball Team Is this glamorization of College Women’s Basketball good or bad for the sport? Is there an underlining homophobia?

The Aggies
I have to say that I find the Texas A&M media guide far more insidious than I find the FSU website, mainly due to the presence of Gary Blair. To just call it creepy is a understatement, in my opinion. I think it crosses the line from glamorization to whorization--he looks like a pimp standing there among his stable of prostitutes (an image bolstered by the stance of the woman in the chair on the right).
I feel bad even saying that, as I'm sure that these girls are incredible people, but that media guide is just horrendously offensive. Plus, where the hell is the rest of the team? That can't be their entire roster...
This will make cheering against them on Sunday when they play Duke a little easier.
