Why women sports reporters ruins sports and Men

This is going to be a long and controversial rant about women sports reporters.

In today’s world we have a large number of women sports reporters. Some people like it some people don’t. I am not a fan of women sports reporters particularly as a career. I will explain why.

I don’t think that this kind of profession when it’s done right, is one that isn’t conducive for long term satisfaction for women. Yes they can obtain the skills to do this job, but the professor and the locker room culture works against them.

This doesn’t mean that they can’t do the job or can’t learn about sports. I just don’t think it’s a long term career for them. Work for a few years, make some money and then go teach about it in college or graduate school.

Additionally, I think to a certain extent there is a similarity between pro sports and the military. Very male-dominated and structured.

Most of the women who are hired by the teams or news outlets are either Tom boys (girls with male likes and or tendencies) or groupies who were former models and athletes who want a piece of the action. Regardless their presence in our realm is something that I can do without.

I’m not interested in giving them a seat at the table because I’d I do that means that we have to completely redo the broadcast and the way sports is done. You women reporters represent a small fraction of women, many other women are fine doing other things and not turning sports into a social laboratory experiment.
