12:21 AM ET 11.12 | In the interview, Barkley (who's on TNT's studio coverage of the NBA, aka television) states that if you are a less than attractive looking woman, you must stand as far away from a camera as possible, and forget all dreams you have of ever actually appearing in front of one that is broadcasting to millions of viewers worldwide. Let me ask you this: how many buck-toothed, one-eyed, greasy, acne-crusted and/or unibrowed women do you see ESPN calling in for job interviews. Now how many blonde-haired, blue-eyed, chiseled bombshells are currently working at all four major sports networks as sideline gals?...Exactly. Barkley may have gone about this subject in a rather blunt way, but he's actually exposing the blatant sexism of both major networks and of us at home by saying a sexist thing. But the more important question is, are we more amused that Barkley was (sort of) making a social commentary on how women are viewed in sports, or are we laughing at Barkley for saying something outrageous?

Network's bottom line is $$. Ugly women don't sell air time like ugly women don't sell makeup.
