Following last week’s article titled “Women, the Yankees, and how we’re going to move into the future,” one of the most discussed issues in the comments went something like this:
“Sure, women can be involved in coaching and management, but it’s pretty much impossible for them to earn the respect necessary to actually get hired into those kinds of roles.”
At first glance, a hurdle such as this might feel like a death blow to the careers of women looking to pursue this line of work. Women have never played at the higher levels of the game, so how can they possibly prove they’re “good” enough to know what they’re advising on?
