Women Have Opinions About Sports. Deal With It

The ridiculous stigma surrounding women in sports is not welcome anymore.

Here are two simple facts about me:

  1. I am a woman.
  2. I enjoy watching and discussing sports.

Based on these points, I should be able to express myself freely in my writing, right? According to today's society, women are STILL not allowed to talk about the "hallowed ground" which we call sports. One of the (stupid) reasons is because I "don't know really know what I'm talking about."

O RLY?

Apparently, some people, mostly dudes, think that us women are incapable of learning the intricacies of American football, baseball, hockey, and so on.
