Male Sportswriter: Breaking News! Female GM (With 30 Years Prior Experience In MLB) Turns Out To Be Smart And Prepared For Her Job!

I should start a new series: "Belated". It would consist of posts I drafted and meant to publish before I got distracted and forgot about the post and then happened to notice it about two weeks later marked "draft" and thought Didn't I post that? or I went looking for the published post only to find out that I never published it. . . . This would be the first post in that series.

Before we start:

Kim Ng has been working in major league baseball front offices for 30 years.

Nearly all of the comments are right on point:

But she's a GIRL ! How can this be?

We were pleasantly surprised to learn someone wildly overqualified for the job - BUT A WOMAN - was actually half decent.

Reaches to pat self on back, falls into mud puddle.

“Extremely qualified new GM somehow qualified to do her job despite being a woman.”

gee whiz can't believe this little lady who graduated from one of the best universities in the world and has 30 years of professional experience would be good at this

Wow, Jon. My sources are telling me she even knew to call them "runs" and not "points" without a male employee having to explain it to her.

Word on the street is she knows the players names and everything.

Please make sure to let us know if she's up for the task of handling roster cuts, might be something only male GMs can handle

Did they have a comment on how she's dressing? Or how she's a good little cook? Time to evolve, Jon. ??

This just in, woman who has been qualified for her job for decades but has been overlooked because of her gender, is actually very good at said job once she got it. god damn is this sexist as hell

I mean, it's good to bring a spotlight to the new gm, but the reviews sound....condescending. She's not a rookie exec. She's a 30 year vet in the industry who probably would've been gm at least a decade ago but for some obvious reasons.

Please stop doing these head-patting stories about women succeeding in sports. It’s patronizing and extremely sexist.

— Alex The Spurious ???????????????????????? (@Spookylish) March 11, 2021

Now report on other GMs around the league on their preparedness, qualifications for the job, and workplace demeanor...

If Ng was Black, those reviews would also mention she is "well-spoken" or "articulate". Or perhaps even "clean".

That thread also includes a few comments which prove sexism is so deeply entrenched in American society that it has become invisible to some people. . . . This is water.
