‘No woman should ever be an official or umpire’: Criticism rises against female umpire in MLB after rough outing

Things got testy in a game between the Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres over the weekend. Home plate umpire Jen Pawol ruled that Padres hitter Sung-Mun Song didn't make his ABS challenge in time, resulting in Padres hitting coach Steven Souza Jr. being ejected after he took exception with the ruling.

Later in the game, the Blue Jays were heated with Pawol over a controversial balk ruling brought home a run for the Blue Jays.

I used to listen to sports radio, but when I started hearing chatty 20 year old girls running their mouths about something they have no idea about, I change the channel.

There is an American female ref at the World Cup. She got 2-3 matches and performed very well.

Lol, and here I was thinking that Beth Mowins is pretty good. I don’t mind her working my team’s games. But now that you mention it, yes, we have hit the skids in recent years. 🥴
