The “We Need More Jessica Mendozas” Bonus Segment

http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/hang_up_and_listen/2015/10/hang_up_and_listen_bonus_segment_sexist_tweets_and_baseball.html

This week on the Slate Plus Hang Up and Listen bonus segment, hosts Stefan Fatsis and Mike Pesca welcome Sports Illustrated senior editor Emma Span to discuss the negative tweets that surfaced after Jessica Mendoza’s ESPN debut. What kind of pushback did the MLB’s first female postseason analyst receive via social media? Is this an inevitable response for female commentators, or are attitudes towards women in professional sports changing? And will sexist Twitter users please go away?
