Look in the Mirror (Episode 74)

Look in the Mirror (Episode 74)

In today’s episode, Shaunna and Lisa discuss what it means to hold up a mirror to up to the millisecond judgements we make about other people. Using the recent (unwarranted) critiques of Coach Syndey Carter’s outfit at a Texas A&M basketball game, Shaunna and Lisa discuss what “professionalism” means in sport. The critiques of Carter’s attire are embedded in histories of racism and sexism and again illuminate the double standard women are forced to manage. Negative comments are directed at individuals often because they are perceived as not to belong. Entering a space that has previously excluded a person based on their identities exposes them to baseless and shallow critiques. Despite qualifications and talent, encroaching on the power of white men who have largely dominated coaching and other professions for an eternity, is a threat. (Another point of reference for this is the nomination of an African American/Black woman to the Supreme Court in the U.S and the white response to it). Since attacks cannot be based on qualifications and track record, detractors look elsewhere - their body, their attire, or their personal lives. Tune in to learn more about these realities and struggles and why each of us needs to be better at disrupting our long held and learned assumptions about who belongs where.
