Ahab searches internet for dick photos while throwing questions at housemate who follows the football. Housemate responds "I dunno Ahab, I don't watch footy for the cock!". Ahab sighs in resignation and establishes that, yes indeed, this issue has actually set important legal precedent here in Australia.

In this age of steroid and performance enhancing drug use, FIFA corruption, and basketball players packing heat, the last thing we need to do is further emphasize that these people are flawed human beings.
That said, I think it would be a coup for Deadspin to post pictures of Venus and Serena's dicks.

I once had a case of Athlete's Dick. It's a fungal infection of the skin that causes scaling, flaking, and itch of affected areas. I could never play sports the same way afterward, because of the itching.

GMP is being pretty myopic here. To wit:
"Oh, that’s the website that had the picture of Brett Favre’s cock. Mmmm, Brett Favre. Deadspin: bookmarked."
and
If you have seen a picture of an athlete’s dick, it is more likely that an entirely different process of free association will surge to life in your brain. Perhaps you’ll remember how incredibly uncomfortable you felt when you first saw that dick staring at you from your computer screen. Maybe you’ll remember the stink face you made as you instinctively craned your neck away from the screen... or perhaps you liked it. Some people who are not otherwise interested in pro sports like looking at athletic men! (Which might even generate a new appreciation market for pro sports! Crazy!)
I mean, c'mon. This in the internet, man.

And not to knock down my own previous point, but some bona fide sports fans are gay men and dick-positive women. Even if it may not be their primary attraction to the topic, ocu-cock doesn't repulse everyone.

I think sometimes making a cheap joke on an internet comment thread is not necessarily related at all to gender essentialism or one's opinion of individuals. Plus you're assuming that the crux of the joke was "hur hur they must really be men" rather than "lol dicks" or "let's play around with expectations"

Rather, they manage to turn these athletes into abstractions, representative of everything that makes sports worthy of pedestals and purple prose. These aren’t men; they are otherworldly forces of nature or unstoppable incarnations of power, speed, will, and even heroism (I’m looking at you, Last of the Mohicans score).

RE athletes being human, I think most of us that weren't part of the jock crowd figured that out back in high school, as suggested above. The guys on my junior high football and basketball teams started some very weird homoerotic domination shit when I was in 8th grade. They would take their combs, those largish plastic dealies everyone seemed to have back then, and, walking up behind one of their pals in the hallway, would rub the comb teeth under their pal's taint. The thus-affronted pal would turn and smile sheepishly while everyone behind him who saw would get a big laugh. I. Kid. You. Not. This was actually a thing that the cool jocks did in my junior high.
As a gay kid very, very deeply in the closet, this left a lasting impression on me. One, that it was kinda titillating seeing two cute older boys doing that to each other. . And two, jocks can be some of the most fucked up assholes on the planet, even more so than the dorks that hung out on the FFA farmer equipment in back of the school and got stoned on a daily basis.
RE the other issues mentioned in the article, it took me nearly 25 years to get over the military fetishization I had when I was a kid. (Of course, I'm prepared to accept that it may be partly sour grapes, since the military didn't want me, despite my wanting very much to join, because I'm gay.)
I was 40 before I started to come to the realization, for example, that just because someone was a "veteran" didn't mean they automagically earned my respect for being some great gift to society or having done some great service to our nation. I say this as the stepson of a real war hero - Purple Hearts in both WWII and in Korea - whom I am in awe of for what he did and how he survived. But just because someone drove a truck at Rammstein or did I.T. at Bragg for a few years to get their G.I. Bill doesn't make them worthy of any greater deference, imho, than a nurse or a teacher or any of a number of other folks who are in public service roles. No offense meant to any military types, of course. It's just that our society does tend to fetishize military service and war and such and the article makes a good point of showing how it's often done with PR techniques that completely divorce military service from reality.

It was a poor joke, and it gains additional levels in distastefulness due to the fact that he chose the Williams sisters as the focal point of the comment given the fact that they are frequently dissed by the White Male Gaze for being "masculine" and "intimidating" as are so very many black women in the public eye who have the "misfortune" of not being petite, and waifish.

I'm finding it really hard to imagine how you can imagine that the joke did not pivot upon "hur hur they must really be men", Jon_Evil.

Yes. Or better, the dicks of two other petite white women who have some salient connection like being sisters or rivals or whatever. But I'm pretty sure Venus and Serena Williams are, at present, the most famous women in sports, and most readers have a decent idea of what they look like so they're the most salient and accessible punchline.

It sort of sounds like you don't follow women's sports that much.
A question I like to ask myself at times like these is, "Is this the dick joke I want to die on?" Usually the answer is no.

Don't most of these guys initially send out the pictures themselves? Put your junk in a pic and send it, you should expect it to show up somewhere eventually. Especially if you're famous.
And yeah, I don't find penises repulsive, and I kind of hate the whole "women are beautiful but mens' bodies are disgusting" trope. It's part of the also-stupid idea that women really hate sex and only have it if coerced/out of the goodness of their hearts. Many of us like men's bodies, penises included, and don't fear or hate them.

I don't want to live in that world. I want the etiquette on dong shots (and boob shots, and all the other kind of shots) to be, "Did he send it to you himself?

*"But Favre sent that dong shot unsolicited!" Well, yeah. Which is a dick move, pun intended, but that doesn't make it less of a dick move to look at it. It's a different kind of dick move, but it's still a dick move.

Both are used by stereotypical jocks in high school to intimidate and humiliate nerds. Also by sadistic non-jocks, although they tend to prefer outright beatings.

I grew up straddling the nerd/jock line, as I have mentioned previously here (baseball, basketball, orchestra, computers, BBSes, AP Math and Physics) I never once witnessed either a swirly or a wedgie. To my knowledge none of my jock friends ever gave them, none of my nerd friends ever received them. Are they a myth invented by teen movies?
Also, maybe it was because I was friends with some jocks from Little League and Babe Ruth but all the trouble I had in Jr High or so came from random bullies, not real letter jacket jocks. Eventually I tackled the shit out of one at recess during a game of 2 hand touch and it stopped. It's like, bro, maybe the fact that I am wearing glasses distracted you from the fact that I'm 6 inches taller than you and outweigh you by 25 lbs.

No. They are real. In my experience, though, they generally occur in Junior High, before the jock/nerd divide has become clear.
None of my numerous and often atomic wedgies were administered by jocks. And, to be perfectly honest, the experience is not entirely unpleasant.

I went to a private school in Brooklyn in the 80s with a strong jock culture. You had to be a 3-season sports player to be anybody. Either that, or bench 200# and get a pass (although people would grumble about why someone that strong wouldn't contribute that power to the all-important football team).
Wedgies definitely existed. They were somewhat routine, but only once did I see a kid get hung from his skivvies (he was kinda small). Shredded underwear were not unheard of.
Giving someone a swirlie would probably have got one expelled for assault. Yanking a fellow student around by his underwear is one thing, trying to drown him in the toilet is something out of Sin City.

Pirate-Bartender-Zombie-Monkey, that's not really the point of a swirlie. The point is the gross-out factor of having toilet-bowl-water soaking your hair.
