One thing I’ve never understood.

When males get together they kid each other by insulting and downgrading each other. Almost universally true. The victims end up laughing after jousting against the others with their own putdowns.

Gutfeld to standup comic: The city reported a lot of the storefronts are empty these days. Sort of like the venues for your comedy tour.

When women get together unless they are doing “mean girls” or fighting a rival over a guy they usually cooperate and encourage each other.

And women go out shopping together and stop at a place for lunch.

No guy does that.

So if she gets pregnant is she exempt from working behind the plate? What if a player starts flirting with her? I personally don’t see anything positive about this. Does this add or subtract from the game?

If she successfully rose thru the umpire ranks and made it to the MLB, good for her. I wish her much success........

Yeah, and their workload is about to be reduced to standing around and making base running calls at the plate (”ABS”):

Male Sports and female sports should be separate and never the twain shall meet

You want perfect equality? Then die, and go to heaven. Here on Earth in spite of imperfection they should be separate

I am tired of social engineering by know it alls

“When women get together unless they are doing “mean girls” or fighting a rival over a guy they usually cooperate and encourage each other.”

That’s what you see.

What’s going on there is a whole microcosm of behaviors and intentions

Two women friends, women who are cousins who happen to have a lot in common, for instance. That’s the ideal

And one doesn’t want to hear “sorry that color is hideous or no that gigantic flower is ridiculous.” But it will certainly get sent later in a photo. “Ooh I shouldn’t have worn that dress with the stupid flower

Women will go around together but their roles in life are different from men’s

If they all have kids that’s what they’ll talk about. They have no time for pushing each other around. Their kids and husbands are doing just fine with that. They have to go home to a lot of being in charge of logistics. It is a lot

Men don’t talk to each other. They have a sporting or const/destruction implement and they keep each other humble

At work women are brutal. I’ve worked with nurses my whole life. New York City nurses. Combat nurses. Volcanic

You know what's funny? If this story had never aired in the media, you never would have known that a female umpire is now part of MLB.......LOL!

She can't be any worse than some of the MALE bone heads in the umpire ranks......

It's hard to know she's a female from looking at her. She doesn't look very feminine. She looks like a typical overweight middle aged lesbian. MLB hired a bunch of affirmative action umpires, and they are quite bad. Angel Hernandez was about the worst ever.

Gutfeld was on this topic this week.

She won't call balls and strikes because everything will be "fine".

The game can't start until she has talked about her day.

Why is this “history”? Is there a difference in the way females call the game compared to the way a male calls the game?
