sportsApr 22, 20261975

The White House posted a photo honoring the University of Georgia women's tennis team that places a row of six men in the foreground while the athletes stand barely visible in the back middle ground. The image accompanied a ceremony recognizing the Georgia team after winning its latest championship title. Observers noted one man was standing on a riser, with the men occupying roughly half the picture plane, and critics called the image misogynistic.
