Columbia Journalism Student Tackles Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

The 2010 sports journalism class at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism wrote about the role of women in sports. You’ll find their efforts here, in a package titled “Life on the Fringes: How and Why Sports Marginalizes Women.” The first story, by Heather Higgins, is all about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I would argue that the Cowboys Cheerleaders organization does the opposite of marginalizing women, but what do I know? I’m just a man who likes short shorts.
