I’ve thought long and hard before tweeting this, so please take it for what it is - completely sincere - women in every industry endure sexual harassment. That’s simply a fact. But women in sports, who spend their lives not only around high powered executives, but high profile...
...budding on celebrity executives, are in a position unlike any other. When a women speaks out her boss in a workplace, her coworkers find out. When a women speaks out against a player, manager, or GM, an entire country finds out. The strength and courage it takes these women
to come forward is heroic. The strength and courage it takes the men to simply stop their inappropriate behavior and treat their coworkers as such seems almost Olympian. It shouldn’t have to be. From the top down, everyone has to and must do better.
In 2021 a woman working in sports and feeling comfortable doing their jobs every day needs to become the norm, not the exception.
