Sarah Spain a sports columnist, radio host, and reporter for ESPN. Julie DiCaro is a Chicago-based radio anchor who also writes for Sports Illustrated. They cover sports, because it is their job and their passion. And they get ravaged by people on Twitter every day.

Just Not Sports asked men to read some of Twitter's worst offenders to Spain and DiCaro's faces. What harm is a mean tweet, right? But they aren't just mean tweets. These are sexist tweets, sadistic tweets, inhuman tweets. They threaten rape—"hopefully the skank Julie DiCaro is Bill Cosby's next victim." They threaten violence—"I hope your boyfriend beats you." They rely heavily on hateful language. They hurt. It hurts these men to speak them aloud, just as it hurts these two women to hear them.

It should also hurt the faceless Twitter crowd to type them.
