Zone1 Is this Woke? DEI? or Proper Career Promotion

Jen Pawol is set to umpire her first game in MLB.

What are your thoughts on this, since I guarantee that no one has followed her career and knows anything about her credentials. Including myself.

Honestly, I follow MLB and MiLB as much as anyone.
I follow the minor leagues and KNOW the prospects.

Umpires, I really have no clue, except Angel Hernandez and CB Bucknor. They are very poor.
Other umpires should be un-noticed, and that is a good thing.

NBA and NFL have done this, and it has been successful.

I wish her well, and I hope she remains irrelevant and non-controversial.

If she worked her way through the minors like everyone else, there is no issue.

And in reality she looks pretty mannish, I think she plays for the "other team"

Do the mannish looking gay male umpires 'play for the other team?'

That depends on who else earned the promotion with better credentials

 

[Seymour Flops]

She should get the benefit of the doubt. It is the wokesters' fault that she does not.

They push people like Kenjati Brown-Jackson as great examples of DEI while simultaneously claiming that they are highly qualified for their jobs, and that taints all who are not white males and who achieve greatness through effort and talent.

And this matters to you because?????
