Anna-Megan Raley, who reportedly blogs under the pen-name of Claire Crawford, posted a poll on her article asking people if they thought Williams "looked beautiful" or could use "some tightening up in her mid-section."

She wrote:

The Rockets looked terrible in Game 1, but some say they weren't the only bad-looking people on the court. We're not trying to be ugly. We're just discussing what men like in women, specifically NBA cheerleaders.

She went on to write:

"...if she's comfortable wearing that tiny outfit and dancing for NBA fans, then good for her ... Besides…not every man likes women to be toothpick skinny. I'd say most men prefer a little extra meat on her bones."

Readers were given three choices in her poll "What do you think? Is this chick "too chunky" to be a cheerleader.

  • She has the perfect look to be an NBA cheerleader.
  • She could use some tightening up in her midsection.
  • She has no business wearing that outfit in front of people.
