Why do you spend $10.5M on a goalie? To shut down $48M worth of forwards, of course...

The issue with most men who start covering women's sports is that they see the athletes they cover as women first instead of athletes first. What that means is that a lot of their inherit biases or opinions towards women cloud how they cover the sport, the players, and leagues.
