I know, not that big a deal. But it would have been a little better had the pic come with words saying who our player was.

You think a general sports fan is going to know who that is? I don't know who it is and I'm a MSU fan, although granted not such a die hard that I watch women's basketball although I sort of keep up with it through sixpack.
You don’t know who Victoria Vivians is? Some players I get, but she’s pretty prominent in terms of sports alumni.
I know who she is and remember what she looks like enough that I knew that could be her (I actually was giving them too much credit and thinking they wouldn't use a picture that is what, 6 years old?). But I wouldn't have had any confidence guessing it was her. I would assume there is probably somebody on the team right now that you could have showed a picture to me and I couldn't have ruled out that it was her.
Fair enough. There are players on the team now that I wouldn't necessarily be able to readily point out. Vivians was an odd choice for this picture all around because, as you stated, this picture is at least 5 years old and probably older, Vivians is not transgender, and this article takes place in Australia.
I guess "Townhall" is not a very good source of factual information. Who knew?I know, not that big a deal. But it would have been a little better had the pic come with words saying who our player was.

I criticized him for sports in general because he consistently asks questions that someone with even a slight background in team sports would know.
Victoria Viviens; somewhat ironic in that she's engaged to another woman. Doesn't align with my personal belief system, but not criticizing her personally either.I know, not that big a deal. But it would have been a little better had the pic come with words saying who our player was.

I think you'd be shocked at how few athletes would be recognized by our fans. So many are mainly fans of football players and outside of heavily promoted players, pretty serious fans still don't see a lot of our players that much. I would have trouble describing Bear or Fred Ross to anybody. I would at least recognize them in a picture. I don't think I'd recognize Fred Brown or Robert Johnson or Joe Morrow, even though I was familiar with them at the time. I'm not sure I can come up with a mental image of Gabe Jackson, Preston Smith, or Denico Autry. I can Chris Jones and Fletcher Cox. I don't know that I'm that much worse than the average season ticket holder.
Yeah, cant disagree with any of this.
