Women's UConn Huskies 71 Game Win Streak

I just read an article on ESPN.com detailing the UConn Huskies Women's basketball team's 71-game win streak which they just recently established by beating Notre Dame. Reading through the article, one thing stood out the most. There wasn't a sexist or gender bias undertone within the article itself. Usually, when I read an article on a women's sport, there are subtle cues and indications that lead to the fact that these are women athletes and some how there must be special consideration when looking at certain achievements. However, in this article, it was pleasantly surprising to go without having these asterisk like undertones when describing and complementing these kinds of achievements. The article was written by a woman journalist and I don't know if this affected anything than if a male journalist had written, but it was a nicely written article depicting and praising the UConn Huskies Women's basketball team's record setting win streak.
