Who Run The World? GIRLS. – 10 Hottest, Bad Ass Female Athletes

In the wise words of Beyonce, “Who run the world?! GIRLS!”

Well, these girls are running the world- the sports world that is. They are hot and good at what they do. I mean, what more could a guy want? Take a look at the top 10 hottest, bad ass female athletes according to TCD!

10. Serena Williams

The GOAT of women’s tennis. Williams is a GOD in the tennis world. I’m surprised she doesn’t have a shrine at Wimbledon yet. Or you know a graveyard for all her opponents. She is ranked number one in women’s singles and is the champion for the Australian Open, US Open, French Open and WTA Tour Championships. She has more wins than the amount of times Kanye looks at himself in the mirror a day. DAYUM. There is no doubt that Serena Williams is the greatest female tennis player of all time. Oh did we mention she has a twin sister? But you already knew that 😉 We rock with you girl! And your sis!

9. Antonija Misura

Misura is a Croatian basketball player from Yugoslavia. She is a point guard and a shooting guard. She has played for the national team in the 2009 Mediterranean Games, EuroBasket Women 2011 and the 2012 Olympics.

8. Skylar Diggins

Model Behavior! Diggins is a WNBA player for the Tulsa Shock and a model. She was drafted in the first round in the 2013 draft after a stellar career at Notre Dame. Diggins is the Irish’s all-time leading scorer with 2,357 points. In 2014, she won the WNBA Most Improved Player and was a WNBA All-Star. You can also catch her in Sports Illustrated.

7. Gina Carano

Carano is an MMA fighter from Dallas, TX. She is also an actress and fitness model. Carano was ranked the third best fighter in the world and was featured in Maxim and ESPN The Magazine. Carano was “Crush” on the TV hit American Gladiators.

Spoiler Alert: You might be seeing her as Elektra in the Daredevil series!

6. Lolo Jones

Jones is an American track and field athlete who ran the 60 and 100 meter hurdles. She is one of the few athletes that has competed in both the Winter and Summer Olympic games. She holds the American record for the 60 meter hurdles with a time of 7.72 seconds. She is coming off shoulder surgery, but looks to be back at the 2016 games.

5. Silje Norendal

This Norwegian snowboarder is straight up melting the snow with her fire. She competes in the halfpipe, slopestyle and boarder cross and let’s just say her trophy case is pretty solid. She won a gold medal at the Winter X Games Europe in Tignes in 2013 and won a gold medal at the Winter X Games in Aspen in 2014. She added another gold medal this past January when she came in first in the Women’s Snowboard Slopestyle in Aspen. TCD is on board with you Silje!

4. Sydney Leroux

Originally from Canada, Leroux moved to the United States and played soccer at UCLA. She was selected as the number one draft pick in the 2012 WPS Draft by the Atlanta Beat. Leroux was a part of the 2012 Women’s team that won the gold medal in London. She made her way back to Canada as a member of the 2015 U.S. Women’s World Cup team, where they defeated Australia 3-1.

3. Ronda Rousey

Rowdy Ronda Rousey. This girl is a straight baddie. How could anyone forget when Rousey defeated Cat Zingano with an arm bar in 14 seconds? The fastest time in UFC Championship history! UHM WHAT! She is the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion and Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Champion. Her next fight is scheduled in Brazil against Bethe Correia, which should be quite the match up! ICYMI: Check out our preview here! You also might have seen her in the films Furious 7 and the new Entourage movie where she throws DOWN… as expected, of course.

2. Danica Patrick

Well obviously this list wouldn’t be complete with Ms. Patrick and her sexy Go Daddy commercials! I mean, she’s a race car driver and a model. Need I say more? She is the most successful woman in American open-wheel racing. In 2013, Patrick was the first woman NASCAR driver to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Pole. She got some disappointing news recently, when she was not chosen to be driving in F1 for the new Gene Haas team in 2016. It’s okay Danica, TCD still loves you!

1. Alex Morgan

Numero UNO, Alex Morgan. She’s hot af and she kicks ass. You probably remember Morgan from the Olympic games in London in 2012. She was a part of the Women’s soccer team that took the gold. Morgan was the number one draft pick in 2011 and already has five years of international experience. She is on the U.S. national team for this upcoming World Cup, but her playing time is unsure due to a bruised bone in her left knee. But seriously look at that photo. Smoking hot.

There you have it. These women are beautiful, talented and can kick some serious ass. Enough said.

Mike Napoli aka The Fireman

Mike Napoli is hot. I know that. You know that. Everyone knows that. There is no doubt about it. (Oh, you meant on a hot streak? Not physically striking? Oops. Whatever.) Either way, the first baseman for the Boston Red Sox is doing something right. He even made Bleacher Report’s “MLB Team of the Week”. Like hi, are you single?

If you follow baseball at all, you are well aware of how AWFUL his OPS really was: .533. We’re talking one of the worst hitters in the league. Like okay, even I could do better than that. And I haven’t hit a ball since my dad stuck me in front of a tennis ball machine in the back yard with a helmet and a bat and told me to hit as many as I could, as far as I could! I was maybe 12, by the way. *Hair flip*

But then something changed. First, he watched film and realized he was making several mechanical errors at the plate. And second, a 9-year-old signed his bat. No really, a 9-year-old signed his bat. And the best part is that is where he has attributed some of his successes ever since (can I bring you home to meet my mom now, or…). Now obviously just switching a few minor things around with the way you bat isn’t going to change everything, but obviously having a 9-year-old sign your bat will (duh). But in all seriousness, with a combination of his batting corrections, the faith (and signature) of a 9-year-old, and his hot momentum, Napoli is going off (and up, and not just on Tuesdays, people). Currently, Napoli’s OPS has been raised up to 1.080 over the course of the last few games.

Maybe this correlates with this year being his 9-year anniversary since his MLB debut? Maybe? Probably not.

When batters are on a hot streak the way Napoli is, pitchers want to avoid them at all costs. No one wants to face the hot guy, well, except for me. I want to face the hot guy. (Wait, you still mean on a hot streak? Dang!) Still, when a batter is on fire and absolutely killing the game, you want to stay far away from them like the game depends on it, because, well, it does.

So here’s to hoping this hot streak continues!

And Mike, if you see this (and your hot streak has ended, or maybe it hasn’t…but you’re still hot), call me. 😉

Men You Would Consider Dating with Hair Longer than Yours

Admit it ladies, there is nothing sexier than a guy with good hair. So how come when it comes to dating a guy with longer hair than ours, it comes as almost a taboo like dating men shorter than us?

Long hair and the man bun is quite the trend right now, so let’s go through men that we would consider dating that have longer hair than our own.

Jared Leto:

Nothing is more sexy than a rockstar swinging his long hair, which brings me to Jared Leto. He’s the lead vocalist of 30 Seconds to Mars and is making his way up in the acting world!

Charlie Hunnam:

Badass with a motorcycle on Sons of Anarchy. Man, you know we like our bad boys over here at TCD! Count us in. I’d run my fingers through those blonde locks any day.

Clay Matthews:

Apart from looking like the hulk, this sexy athlete blows our minds when he takes his helmet off. And can we talk about when he whips those luscious locks around afterwards and the sweat comes flying off. Ugh, swoon.

Brad Pitt:

I mean, Brad Pitt is on everyone’s bucket list to date. Brad Pitt with long hair not only makes him look sexy, but brings us back to that baby faced hunk we all loved in Fight Club.

Chris Hemsworth:

Whether up in a “man-bun” or hanging freely by his beautiful face, Chris Hemsworth looks stunning with long hair. No wonder Snow White woke up to this long-haired beauty’s magical kiss. Hell, I would have too.

Johnny Depp:

Last but not least, Jonny Depp and his luscious long locks. I mean, can you imagine a pirate with short hair!? He definitely can pull off any length of hair and can still look sexy.

Bonus! OC Local Favorite!
Brock O’Hurn:

Brock O’Hurn is one of the sexiest things to hit instagram. Well, at least on my instagram feed! From a rockin’ bod and some serious height this is one guys hair you’d like to pull on. Did I mention he’s local So Cal girls! Hopefully I get to him first though!
