This is a great article and agree 100%. I've always said that change doesn't happen overnight but change does start with widespread awareness. So thank you for bringing more awareness to this issue. And hopefully I can be an ally without talking over those that need their voices heard.
To add my own 2 cents related to male voices talking over women in sports, I remember when Hannah Keyser asked Sandy Alderson if he consulted with any women prior to hiring Jared Porter and male reporters/analysts were saying how this was such a great question. Yes it's an important question, but in reality, it shouldn't have come as such a shock or surprise and I feel like that's part of the problem. The fact that men don't automatically think "we should consult with women in the baseball industry" is part of the problem. The fact that men were so caught off guard by Hannah's question is part of the problem. We need to change the way we think about these things.
Again great article and I hope your voice gets heard!
