If not, then how she gets her jollies is really irrelevant to the contest.
She is trying to force herself on the judges by readying herself to claim discrimination. Why that didn't work with Sams in the NFL is because Sams got handed his head when he came up against the best football players. An NFL owner couldn't afford to have an unusable player on his bench just to satisfy political correctness, and he sure couldn't afford to have one on the field.
Since a 'victory' in a beauty contest is by a panel of judges, then the late Helen Thomas could win (today) if that's what they chose.
“...trying to force herself on the judges by readying herself to claim discrimination...”
Bingo.
Nail meet hammer.
