LINK Of Course the First Woman to Coach on an MLB Field Was Immediately Undercut by a Comment About Her Looks | InsideHook

I realize he was trying to be positive, but still...

From the link


Nakken, who has coached first base for the team during spring training games in the past, was greeted with a warm reception from fans at Oracle Park and a congratulatory handshake from Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer, who recognized the significance of the moment.

But of course, it wouldn’t be glass ceiling-shattering moment without some good, old-fashioned casual sexism, so naturally the commentary from the Giants’ broadcast booth included some questionable remarks about her looks.
...
Before Krukow could barely finish saying “she’s a great trailblazer,” however, Kuiper chimed back in with a truly cringy comment: “Who wears that helmet better than she does?”

"Undercut"????? "Cringy"???????
Really??!!?
Why not save the umbrage for filth like Matt Gaetz?

Exactly. Duane Kuiper was basically saying that nobody looked more qualified for the job. To make people walk on eggshells for fear of offending the terminally woke is what makes liberals so intolerable. This is exactly what Bill Maher is talking about and of course he's getting cancelled for that as well. I'd rather be cancelled than come off like a politically correct loser.

All he said was, she wears that helmet well. That was not a comment about her looks, it was just a complement. What bullshit!
