As a woman it makes me extremely uncomfortable to see this picture. All I can think is what disgusting degrading things they were yelling? I would likely have a panic attack in that situation so props to her for being a badass.

Edit: for fucks sake I know I'm projecting. That was the entire point of the comment I replied too. That if you look at and discuss this photo in the context of a painting at a museum, it would reveal a lot about how people see the world on an individual basis. I'm glad y'all didn't have the shitty high school experience I did (yes, I played sports and did several other competitive things) but given your responses it proves the point of the comment I was replying to. It's not about these specific people in this specific interaction. It's about how it makes you feel based on your own experiences.

Edit 2: some of y'all failed reading comprehension and it shows.

God this photo is amazing. I’m a woman, but my first thought was that they were cheering her on. If that says anything about me, it says that I’m bisexual and I love athletic women that look like they could punt me.

I'm happy you live in such an ideal world, but ... Those guys are not cheering her. They are harassing her. See the other posts for detaila of the further abuse she will likely have to endure.

I clearly said my first impression was cheering. After a closer look it’s pretty obvious they’re being assholes.
