I& #39;ve been trying to put a tweet together explaining my love of the male dominated sports world from the perspective of a female and it& #39;s tough. This incident with the @Redskins isn& #39;t isolated. This will start coming out from so many women associated to so many teams.
I& #39;ve seen so many tweets that say "this isn& #39;t breaking news, we already knew about this" ... excuse me? Shouldn& #39;t it be alarming that we knew and it STILL is not being addressed appropriately? This article isn& #39;t about the NFL season that may start soon. Grow up.
I& #39;m pissed I can& #39;t read the whole article from @washingtonpost but all I need is the headline. Women

I& #39;ve wanted to and have even tried to break into the sports world. I would be lying if I said I haven& #39;t emailed small businesses just for a shoe in. But it& #39;s days like today that scare the hell out of me knowing the women who went for it lived through these events.
News flash: I SHOULDN& #39;T BE SCARED TO PURSUE A PASSION BECAUSE I AM A FEMALE. (Sports related, fitness related, etc etc etc etc). & I shouldn& #39;t be SORRY that I& #39;m interested in male dominated environments. (Is it bad I think it& #39;s actually a little badass? Sorry. I& #39;m on one today)
There& #39;s days I feel like because I& #39;m a female I shouldn& #39;t be supporting certain teams, players, sports, etc. because so many of them are disgusting. I remember feeling sick watching Aroldis Chapman pitch in Game 7 of the WS. But yeah, I still cried tears of joy when they won.
Yeah. Aroldis & Addison. Both of you can just fuck off actually. Anyway...
I don& #39;t really know where this thread is going. All I know is I& #39;m disappointed that this is a norm being brushed under the rug and I& #39;m sure has been and will be. Dan Snyder is a coward along with any other owner hiding behind their status.
All I ask is that the @Redskins & any other teams that KNOW about these incidents make up for their mistakes & quit making me feel disgusting for being a female sports fan.
OH AND QUIT NORMALIZING THAT WOMEN ARE IN THE SPORTS WORLD TO BE OBJECTS. @heykayadams @minakimes @ErinAndrews @jemelehill @Kelly_Crull hey guys, we just like to go to work, wear jerseys, drink beer & cheer on our teams without being sexualized too. Let
