A long time ago I made a post about how few female Fatheads there were. (A Fathead is a giant wall sticker you can stick on your wall of various sports stars.)

I was happy to see that while they haven’t greatly expanded the choices for female sports stars, there are still more than there used to be. Now you can get a huge Sue Bird on your wall. (Though I think my wall would have the Candace Parker one. :) )

Good thing I’m going home for the day now or I’d probably end up reblogging ALL of these!! ONly a couple more days until the season starts!

Seattle Storm’s Ashley Robinson tosses a ball while being photographed during the WNBA basketball team’s media day event, Friday, May 27, 2011, in Seattle. The team opens play to defend their 2010 WNBA championship at home against the Phoenix Mercury on June 4.

Obviously, “Psychology Today” has never met Swin Cash.

(Ok, here’s a personal fact. My idea of the sexiest Swin Cash photo is her in sweats and a ponytail obviously having fun.)

A happy Sue

Day 30: Sexiest Athlete picture you have

Not THE sexiest picture of Lauren Jackson I have, but the sexiest SFW picture I have (though by mistake I first blogged the NSFW one for like 30 seconds!), and I hope even this one is SFW! Lauren won another WNBA championship with the Seattle Storm last week, FYI.

(Normally I do the comic one first, but I’m having a really hard time picking just one AND making it a SFW one as well. LAST DAY of the MEME. I’m gonna miss doing this.)
