People Are So, So Pissed Andy Murray Hired a Female Coach
LatestTennis star Andy Murray hired a woman to be his new coach and some people are predictably furious about it.
I’m sorry, let me slightly correct my lede: Andy Murray hired a new coach who he feels is the best person for this job based on his own assessment and beliefs and only the worst kinds of jerks are expressing outrage about it. Via ESPN:
Murray hired former top-ranked player Amelie Mauresmo as his coach on Sunday, saying the appointment is initially for the grass-court season. “I’m excited by the possibilities of the new partnership and Amelie is someone I have always looked up to and admired,” Murray said in a statement. “She’s faced adversity plenty of times in her career, but was an amazing player and won major titles, including Wimbledon.”
*GASPS* You mean a top professional athlete hired someone based on their skill and talent and didn’t see their gender as a reason to disqualify them from the job? THE HORROR.
