What are we doing this week to ruin sports for men?

ESPN's Katie Nolan finally joins the secret society of women in sports media.
I don't really follow other sports, but Katie's a Liverpool supporter which makes her alright in my book.

This was very funny and I enjoyed it tremendously. Pitch perfect.

Egads I'm dying. this is amazingly on point... I think since this post I've already forwarded to probably 20 people...
I play ice hockey in a coed beginners league and I can easily separate every guy into 3 groups. Normal humans who respect and understand that women can play hockey and talk about hockey and sports and play on fantasy teams and generally are other humans. 2. The closeted which goes both ways: those who say they're happy it's coed etc but frown or complain when a woman makes a bad play no matter how many bad plays a dude just made before that or the ones who make the jokes and feel kinda gross about it but don't know what else to say to fill the silence 3. the outright assholes who actually think the majority of us agree with them when they say something terrible and misogynistic and think we'll all go right along with them.
I've noticed that group 1 is the majority now finally. And group 2 are getting more quiet or actually thinking first sometimes. The thing I keep noticing is that the guys in group 3 although seemingly dwindling in numbers, are getting more brazenly vocal.

"I wore a turtleneck." Yes, that would do it for all too many men.
