@latimes We’ve changed the headline and photo on this story to treat it with greater sensitivity. Thank you for your feedback.

@latimes What the hell is wrong with you?

@AuthorNinaPerez You're not the New York POST, @latimes. You know you don't have to stoop to this level of bullshit, right? Right?!

@hellresidentNY I can't believe someone at @latimes thought it was a good idea to pit a black woman against a horse for "Sportsperson."

@AuthorNinaPerez You DO know there is actual uproar over the SI selection. Pharaoh won an online poll, and SI chose Serena. Its a thing.

@TheStrojny Yes, I know. And she shouldn't have been up against an animal then either. Thanks for whitesplaining, though.

@AuthorNinaPerez This isn't an example of anything once you have the context. They aren't comparing her to a horse. Neither was SI.

@TheStrojny I disagree. Can you please stop talking to me?

@AuthorNinaPerez Its your right to be wrong. Cheers.

@latimes Well given that horses aren't people I'm going to have to go with the actual athletic woman who was given the Sportsperson award.

@latimes I mean are you seriously asking who is a better person -- a black woman or a horse? Is that really what you want to be saying here?

@saucissonsec @latimes no, they're asking who the better sportsperson is. It says it right fucking there. Not person. Are you dumb?

@cmb991 @latimes Sportsperson. Sports. Person. PERSON. P.E.R.S.O.N. A horse is not a person. A woman is a person.

……. @latimes

@rgay @latimes A HORSE IS NOT A PERSON. Why is this so hard for people to... oh wait, I know why.

@laurennmcc @rgay @latimes You know they dont count woman as people and lord forbid your a woman of color they double dont respect you.
