Some of the media covering the 2016 Rio Games is proving that sexism is, lamentably, still a thing.

The Olympics only began on Friday, but there’s already been a series of incidents involving NBC and the Chicago Tribune.

NBC sportscaster Dan Hicks was the first to spark outrage when he appeared to credit Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszu’s husband, Shane Tusup, for her world record-breaking win in the 400-meter individual medley on Saturday. As the cameras panned over to Tusup, who was also Hosszu’s coach, the commentator said, “And there’s the man responsible.”

Twitter users were furious:

I get that Tusip is Hosszu's coach, but you can make the connection without using the word RESPONSIBLE. You can't throw that word around. — Maggie Hendricks (@maggiehendricks) August 7, 2016

Anyone else uncomfortable with the amount of time Dan Hicks spent congratulating Hosszu's husband for HER amazing accomplishment? — Hayley Collins (@hayley_mo77) August 7, 2016

"There's the man responsible for turning his wife into an entirely new swimmer..." REALLY, NBC? — Charlotte Wilder (@TheWilderThings) August 7, 2016

After a woman just won a gold medal, announcer literally said, "And there's the man responsible," as camera showed her husband/coach. — Elizabeth Picciuto (@epicciuto) August 7, 2016

OK, so Hosszú (swimmer) shatters a world record by 2 seconds, and NBC's broadcaster gives the credit to her husband and coach. WTF? #Sexism — Tim Gibson (@timgibson) August 7, 2016

Hicks attempted to clarify his comment on Sunday, telling The Associated Press there were often times in live television “when you look back and wished you had said things differently.”

“It is impossible to tell Katinka’s story accurately without giving appropriate credit to Shane, and that’s what I was trying to do,” Hicks added.

The Chicago Tribune also came under fire for an article and tweet about Corey Cogdell-Unrein’s bronze medal-winning performance in the women’s trap shooting event. The tweet focused more on the career of her NFL player husband Mitch Unrein than her own achievement.

As Jezebel pointed out, the Tribune’s article wasn’t much better. The headline ― “Corey Cogdell, wife of Bears lineman Mitch Unrein, wins bronze in Rio” ― only referred to her achievement, but didn’t say in which sport. Nor did the story mention the fact that it was the second medal she’d won at a Games and her third time competing at the Olympics.

The newspaper article later went off on a tangent about her husband, saying the defensive end was in his second season with the Chicago Bears but “was unable to get away from training camp to join her in Rio.”

Again, Twitter users expressed their fury:

Her name is Corey Cogdell. Shove your no-so-subtle sexism where the sun don't shine @chicagotribune @CoreyCogdell https://t.co/D84qbtdxMc — Peter-Martin (PM) (@petermartindk) August 8, 2016

2. Sexism in the article is gross

Everyday sexism at work. Congratulations Corey Cogdell. https://t.co/ShTaZMfvu0 — Ed Skipper (@EdSkipper) August 8, 2016

Corey Cogdell wins medal in Rio, press announces only using her husband's NFL info. Gee, is there sexism in Hillary's media coverage, too? — Fifth House Sun (@FifthHouseSun) August 8, 2016

Corey Cogdell. Her name is Corey Cogdell @chicagotribune. She won an Olympic bronze medal for trap shooting. #sexism https://t.co/ofHPfmDjYl — Renee Bracey Sherman (@RBraceySherman) August 7, 2016

Some people defended the newspaper for simply trying to localize the story. Without the Bears connection, the Tribune probably wouldn’t have covered Cogdell-Unrein’s achievement at the Olympics.

It's the Chicago Tribune. Localize news to your audience. #journalism101 https://t.co/PLMga1yUw5 — Bojack Horseman (@ElChivoJefe) August 7, 2016

The headline writer at the Chicago Tribune was probably trying their best to localize a story. That didn't go well. pic.twitter.com/QQ2nnFSDhR — Joe Buettner (@Joe_Buettner) August 7, 2016

@WillMcAvoyACN Probably could have/should have localized it with "Chicago resident," assuming she lives there. — Allison Carter (@AllisonLCarter) August 7, 2016

NBC was again accused of sexism during its coverage of women’s gymnastics on Sunday, when an as yet unidentified commentator said Team USA members looked like they “might as well be standing in the middle of a mall” after they were caught on camera laughing and talking following their utter annihilation of the competition during the qualifying round.

No, NBC anchor, those female gymnasts do not look like "they might as well be standing in the middle of a mall." They are at the Olympics. 😑 — Natalie DiBlasio (@ndiblasio) August 7, 2016

"They could be standing in a mall"

...you wouldn't be talking about male gymnasts like that. #TeamUSA #ArtisticGymnastics #Rio2016 — Wicked Ginny (@GinnyLurcock) August 7, 2016

UGHH. "They might as well be standing in the middle of a mall," male @NBCOlympics commentator says about chatty U.S. gymnasts. #Rio2016 — Jessica Weiss (@jessweiss1) August 7, 2016

NBC has not commented on that incident, which came just days after a study by the Cambridge University Press found that in the media’s coverage of sports, men were three times more likely to be mentioned in a sporting context than women -- who, meanwhile, were routinely described with regards to non-sporting issues, such as their age, marital status and appearance.
