This is not progress.

I enjoy watching baseball for a few reasons. One is that it is all boys. I’m a girl. It is a study on how boys interact and behave. Which is always different when I am with them because I am not a boy

This is a bad thing. In every way

There are certain professions where a woman is simply not suitable. NFL lineman is one. Firefighter is another. Both professions require physical strength that the huge majority of women just don’t have.

But I don’t see baseball umpire as being on that list. If this Pawol person is competent and not just a DEI hire, then I wish her well.

It's not surprising that she graduated from Hofstra University - that place that 2nd and 3rd tier movie, television, and radio personalities along with 1 or 2 barely known sports entertainers, attended, following the marketing of their one graduate of note, Francis Ford Coppola (class of 1960). James Caan and Christopher Walken were smart enough to walk away.

Their other most known graduate is Bernie Madoff.

There was one already.

She got fired after letting some ordinary jerk manager argue her into changing a call.

At least she’s not saying she’s a guy. Wishing her the best.

I believe Howard Stern’s roving reporter, Stuttering John Melendez, once asked Joe DiMaggio if he ever farted in a catchers face?

I'm OK with it as long as she has a double mastectomy and wears a strap-on and a cup.

I see no reason why are woman cannot do this job. There have been a good number of lousy MLB umpires, all of them male. My personal worst was Eric Gregg giving a huge strike zone to Livan Hernandez against the Braves.

I would love to see how the stats show her to be on making calls. That’s what matters. I wish her the very best.

What’s the big deal? She’s there to carry out the wishes of MLB,which based on the results of her male counterparts this season is designed incompetence.

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........

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

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?
