Texas football program faces backlash after incident with Holly Rowe

During a postgame interview following Texas's comeback victory over Ohio State, head coach Steve Sarkisian dismissed ESPN reporter Holly Rowe. Instead of engaging, he signaled a 'Hook’em Horns' gesture and walked away, prompting frustration from Rowe. This incident occurred amidst ongoing discussions about misogyny in sports, amplified by subsequent mocking commentary from Texas quarterback Arch Manning. Manning later apologized for his insensitive remarks about an AI-generated meme featuring Rowe. The backlash highlights a wider issue regarding the treatment of successful women in sports, as exemplified by Rowe's longstanding contributions to women's basketball and the WNBA.
