If women and blacks are so capable, why must their gender and race always be mentioned when they accomplish anything?
Personally, women should not be involved in men’s sports. Some of us are smart enough to not pretend that gender differences are a social construct.

Might be symbolic, but there was no minor league play last year I doubt there will be this one.

Seriously, you can't figure this out for yourself? People often note when someone is the "first" to accomplish a particular thing. In other words she made history.

As for your opinions regarding women not being involved in men's sports, it's a good thing that they only limit your own options and growth and not those of others, hopefully.

I’m happy for her, now she can sit at home and get paid while the minor league season is cancelled because of the virus.

No, you’re another backwards lefty.
I coached girls high school sports for years. No need to force them into men’s sports and pretend everyone is the same. Let this woman coach a woman’s team.

Did they honor the first white (Brian Kelly, 1993) to play on a Georgetown basketball team in ten years under John Thompson? No, and they shouldn’t. Should Thompson’s obvious race bias have been exposed? Yes, and it wasn’t.

Coaches who have never played lack a certain credibility.

It will be interesting to see if she can overcome that.

Remember that as the amount of males in this nation keep growing in being impoverished and undereducated in all ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Despots in waiting to galvanize these groups will harvest true revolutionary goals as the economy continues to slowly decline with the retardation of excellence due to enforced quotas that women have taken advantage of and are in many ways not as good as in others they are in the numbers needed.

Lombardi, Weaver and Walsh are three that come to mind, so anything is possible.

I'll take your word for those three. I would imagine at some time Vince, Earl, and Bill played organized football and baseball as an adult and considered it as a lifelong vocation.. This woman, however, may not have.

She probably played little league. However today’s pros aren’t as coachable as they were years ago, so I’m thinking without pro experience, she may not have a good chance.

Those men would need to become competent. Affirmative action doesn’t work in pro sports.
