I haven& #39;t read the WaPo piece yet... but sadly, it sounds like a continuation of the disgusting garbage women in sports have always dealt with (and continue to have to).
I say that because I& #39;ve heard female colleagues, editors, interns tell these same sickening stories...

Truth is, I wouldn& #39;t be where I am today without the excellent women in sports I& #39;m lucky enough to know.
@bepryor hired me at @dailytarheel as a freshman. Then @gmraynor believed in me enough to make me an editor. And you know what? I still look up to them as writers/reporters.

I had the privilege @theobserver of learning from tremendous female colleagues: @JourdanRodrigue is as fine a beat writer as there is in the country; @agetzenberg is a rising star in the NFL world; @mwc13_3 was a superstar as an intern. And @schisenhall is THE ultimate supporter.
Now @TheAthletic I& #39;m lucky enough to be teammates with the incomparable @DanaONeilWriter @tori_mcelhaney @SaraCivian (and can& #39;t forget @danielle_lerner, a dogged reporter and one of the most creative writers I& #39;ve met). All do tremendous work, but are even better people.
And I& #39;ve seen the way @lebrownlow @Sheena_Marie3 @Quierra_Luck @kfitz134 and so many others go about doing fantastic work on their beats, never caving to all the trash and denigration they have to go through. Truthfully, I know it& #39;s more than I& #39;d be able to endure.
All of this to say, women aren& #39;t just "capable" -- and if that& #39;s how low your bar is, that& #39;s pretty f*cking sad. Women have unique, invaluable perspectives that not only should be heard, but NEED to be heard. Their voices and thoughts and stories make their coverage outstanding.
