Hannah Storm Pens Women's History Month Essay, And It's A Far Cry From Last Year's Lia Thomas Tribute

As Women's History Month rolls on, the tributes to humankind's superior sex continue to flood social media.

(Just kidding, fellas.)

OutKick's International Women's Day post was, of course, the best of the bunch. But there was one other video that caught my eye — from ESPN's Hannah Storm.

Storm's essay laid out "all that it means to be a woman." In two minutes, the longtime SportsCenter anchor explains how women in sports are a force to be reckoned with. 

"A woman is undeterred, confident, fearless, persistent, powerful, tenacious, graceful, unapologetic," she begins. "A woman can be enduring, precocious, competitive, a fighter, a pioneer, an influence, a sensation, an inspiration."

Storm narrates over a slideshow featuring dozens of the biggest names in women's sports — specifically highlighting LSU basketball's Angel Reese, Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka and Swiss para-athletics champ Catherine Debrunner.

"A woman can found a business, influence a fan base, galvanize record crowds, defend a title, run a team, own a league, negotiate a deal, license her designs," she continued. "A woman does compete with men, coach men, call their games, earn equal pay and break their records. Again and again."

She concluded by arguing that women are "a force of nature" who continue to make history and leave an "indelible imprint on the world of sports."

There was one thing noticeably missing from Storm's International Women's Day tribute, though.

Men.

In March 2023, ESPN ran a minute-long promo honoring trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas. It was part of its Women's History Month celebration.

Because nothing says "let's celebrate women" quite like forcing women to celebrate a man.
