Fox Sports anchor Katie Nolan hilariously rips into her own network's sexist article

'It is very easy to try type 'Cosmopolitan.com' and accidentally type 'FoxSports.com' if you’ve just got your nails done.'

Fox must be pretty used to having its reportage ridiculed by this point, but rarely by one of its own reporters.

Nolan took to task an article entitled 'How To Land A Husband At The Masters' on its site, despite a colleague telling her it was supposed to be light-hearted.

She was wonderfully sarcastic, saying: "Not every women goes to sports events to find a husband. But two to 3 percent that do, and they deserve to have articles geared to their interests on sports websites they’ll never visit, just in case they end up there by accident. It is very easy to try type 'Cosmopolitan.com' and accidentally type 'FoxSports.com' if you’ve just got your nails done."

The crew in the studio were audibly in stitches as she speared its cringeworthy stereotyping, advising readers to smile not scowl if they wanted to attract men (golf dads in beige shorts and polo shirts).

She finished the report with her very own parody of how to land a husband at a baseball game and last year was similarly mocking of her employer, saying: "The truth is, the NFL will never respect women and their opinions as long as the media it answers to doesn’t. I’m ready when you are, Fox."
