"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nThose of us who watched the NCAA National Championship on Monday night can probably agree that the most notable thing about the game was not the action on the field (Alabama easily beat Notre Dame, 42 to 14), but the spotlight shown on Katherine Webb, the Alabama QB's girlfriend. Throughout the game, ESPN commentators turned their focus to Webb, who recently won the Miss Alabama USA title, to creepily gush over her looks. Brent Musburger, who is 73 years old, said, \"You quarterbacks get all the good-looking women,\" and then gave the viewers at home this advice: \"If you're a youngster in Alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the backyard with Pop.\" (Really, dude?) Webb, whose popularity exploded after the game (she now has over 180,000 Twitter followers), responded to their lechery saying: \"It was kind of nice. I didn't look at it as creepy at all. For a woman to be called beautiful, I don't see how that's an issue.\" Seriously? Look, Webb is beyond gorgeous (yes, that's her in the photo competing in the Miss USA pageant), and she's totally entitled to feel however she wants about old dudes drooling over her. But we're not okay with women being objectified during sporting events\u2014or, you know, just in general. And, pretty women certainly aren't prizes given for athletic prowess, as Musburger suggested. ESPN released a statement apologizing for the on-air tongue-wagging, but we'd like to hear from you: Did you think that the commentators' remarks were totally inappropriate? Or were the guys just \"being guys\" as the phrase goes?Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook.Photo: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
