So she’s going to hire “people who look like her”. Isn’t that what she’s complaining about. And sorry Ms muffett but the best coach in women’s basketball is a man!!
Exactly! She's a hypocrite if she's angry because "People hire people who look like them". The what in the sam hill is she doing demanding that people follow her failed example of "hiring people who look like her?" Typical hypocrite.
Yeah it's the guy with 11 titles.
Yeah, it's the guy with 11 titles. If you were starting a women's program, would you hire Muffet or him?
Hey Muffet, Isn't your quote the very definition of discriminatory hiring practices? Hire the best job candidates regardless of their sex. You are making a bold statement that actually goes against the principles you are so passionately against.
Let's see... she makes a sexist comment about never hiring men because she accuses men of "hiring people that look like them... so I'll hire people that look like me." Your failed attempt at faking concern about "outrage culture" while being a part of your "outrage culture" is laughable. Take your fake outrage to the water cooler so you can fake your outrage with fakes who think like you do. By the way... your Irish just lost to a team that has people on their coaching staff who does not look like their coach... which probably irritates the life of your coach who "will never hire someone who does not look like me." Go figure!
They never made a discriminatory hiring comment like Muffet. Muffet started this with a sexist comment, now she can live with her foot in her mouth.
She said she would not anyone that doesn't look like her. That is the defintion of discrimination, and flies in the face of the entire civil rights movement. Got it Muffet, you won't hire the most qualified candidate if it is a male. Isn't the object in sports to win? And in order to win means you hire the best and most qualified staff that you can? Not make some kind of contradictory social statement and then lose.
I've coached girls teams and my daughter has while in college and after she started teaching.
Agree. Ms. McGraw is the head coach and it is her absolute discretion to decide whom she wants as assistants. She is assuming the risk and she is the one who will be fired if she doesn't hire quality assistants who can help make her team successful. While I would argue that it's best to get the best possible people, male or female, I understand her reasoning.
Could a men's D1 college basketball coach make the same statement as Muffet, and not have ESPN and the National News calling for him to be fired for a blatant sexually discriminatory statement? I think the answer is no. So why the double standard? Muffet can say what she wants because she is a woman?
The issue is not with hiring a women's coach it is with Muffet's starement saying she will not hire anyone who doesnt look like her? What if a NFL owner had said this?
This is 2019, not 1954. Discrimination by statements like Muffet's is 1954. She is taking a major step backward, she claims to be fighting against discrimation against women and then openly says she will blatantly discriminare against men. I don't see how Muffet's statement is not buried in 1950's and before, pre civil rights era. She wants to promote hiring women, but then she openly says she will discriminate against men. Two wrongs don't make a right. My daughter would play for anyone but Muffet.
I have never heard a men's head coach make a statement saying he would never hire anyone who doesnt look like him, blatantly saying he would never hire a woman! Because if he did, he would be crucified by the media, social media, and public outcry, and likely lose his job and effectively end his coaching career.
