“LOL! Was it bad? Why yes. It was!”
What more can you expect from a DEI hire?
This is the problem with all DEI hires in any field. Anytime a mistake is made, people will, fairly, annd with good reason attribute it to DEI.
This woman may be a good umpire, but for good reason, she will have to rightly carry that albatross with her.
That is the corrosive and destructive side of hiring using DEI principles, something that was undoubtedly involved in her hiring.
People who say “Oh, she just made a bad call, men make them all the time” can be likened to people who, when confronted with a crime committed by an illegal alien in this country say “Oh, American citizens commit those crimes all the time”.
That may be true, but an illegal shouldn’t be in a position to commit that crime at all the same way a DEI hire shouldn’t be in a position to make a bad call.
