Superstar Soccer Reporter Eleonora Incardona Nukes Her Critics from Orbit After Being Called 'Vulgar'

Please allow me to reintroduce you all to rising sports media supernova Eleonora Incardona, whom Reags wrote about last month:

In a world where one of our most important values is female empowerment, you would assume that a young, up-and-coming woman getting such a high profile job in what has traditionally been a male-dominated profession would be reason to celebrate. I mean, how often do we elevate a woman doing pioneering work in her chosen field, and speak about how some young girl out there is doing to see her and be inspired to follow the path she blazed? Because if she can break those barriers and smash through that glass ceiling, well then by golly so can your daughter. A rising tide lifts all boats, and so on. 

Sadly though, we don't actually live in such an idealized world. There are still people who try to keep a good woman down. Those who wish for a Handmaid's Tale reality, where a strong, talented woman like Incardona would be kept in a bonnet, making sandwiches and babies while the men run off and explain the soccer matches. 

Fortunately, Eleonora is not willing to be that woman. And those who criticize her for being the best version of herself are finding out this is someone they'd be wise not to tangle with:

The Sun - ITALIAN presenter Eleonora Incardona has broken her silence after being called "VULGAR" by a critic.

The glamorous DAZN star was one of several presenters who were criticised by Valentina Maceri for her choice of outfits.

Eleonora, 34, starred for DAZN Italy during the broadcaster's coverage of the Club World Cup in the US.

But Maceri was not impressed as she said: "Incardona mainly presents the betting odds.

"And she does it very sexy. Sometimes vulgarly"

The criticism came after she published her new book - "F*** Female Empowerment: The Great Mistake of Modern Feminism"

But Eleonora has refused to change her ways, having broken her silence on the criticism.

During an interview with Global Networker,

 she said: "Style is clearly part of your personal and professional identity.

"How does fashion empower you in high-stakes, male-dominated environments like sports broadcasting? Fashion is my language. 

"It helps me express who I am and feel confident, even in male-dominated or high-pressure environments. 

"I never give up my femininity — on the contrary, I use it as a strength.

"When you feel good in your skin, you're ready for anything."

What do the feminists and their male "allies" always say at a moment of triumph like this? "Yasss, Queen"? "You go, Girl"? "Slay"? "Boss Babe"? "Goddess energy"? I'm not sure. I've never said any of these unironically since I'm not a Cuttlefish Male trying to get laid.  But I'll say it now because Eleonora Incardona has the perfect attitude. 

Damn right she's attractive. And dresses to accentuate how good she looks. Which isn't the only thing that comes with the job. But when you're on television, it certainly can't hurt. Unless, of course, you resent someone for the unpardonable sin of being pretty and dressing the part. 

I guess so much for "women supporting other women," eh, Valentina Maceri? I don't know anything about fashion, but green is not your color, lady. 

 I suppose if Incardona was a Boston 3.0 and showing a few square yards of skin, she'd be getting applauded for her stunning bravery. She'd be winning awards like Lena Dunham when she used to do nude scenes. But since she's a Milan 9.5, she's dressing "vulgarly." Her skirts and dresses are an affront to the time-honored traditions of The Beautiful Game or whatever. 

Well I'm not going to apologize for supporting this bold, empowered female pioneer. Even if I'm not the biggest soccer fan, I am someone who believes in celebrating excellence in others. So I will keep and eye on Eleonora's career trajectory. And look forward to seeing how her example inspires the next generation of Incardonas to follow in her mighty high heeled footsteps. If that's "vulgar," then consider me and millions more like me to be big fans of vulgarity:
