We've got right wingers demanding that she affirm her orientation, since in their minds being gay would disqualify her from the court. And meanwhile we've got a right-wing rag running an out-of-date picture of her playing softball. But I'm sure the right-wing rag didn't mean anything by it. They're just demonstrating that girls play sports too!

Yes, Virginia, there is a stereotype about softball players, and just because there are lots and lots of straight softball players out there doesn't make the WSJ's choice of photos in this context any less suspicious.
