Amy Poehler & Seth Meyers Reunited to Wreck a Sports Illustrated Writer For His Sexist Tweet

"In fact, everyone just get off Twitter."

Recommended Videos

Reviving one of their classic Saturday Night Live bits, Amy Poehler joined Seth Meyers on Late Night to “Really!?!”-bomb a Sports Illustrated writer for his sexist tweet about women’s sports.

Andy Benoit, an NFL analyst for Sports Illustrated, responded to someone’s tweet accusing him of thinking that women’s soccer isn’t worth watching by saying he actually thinks women’s sports in general are not worth watching. So, of course, Poehler and Meyers take Benoit to task, wondering why golf, coverage of the NFL draft, or six hours of pre-Kentucky Derby coverage are more worthwhile than watching women compete on a world stage. Nothing against golf, but come on. Really?

To his credit, Benoit apologized for the tweet not too long ago. But come on, dude. Really!?!
