There appears to be a culture of sexism within the sports broadcasting industry. Men are predominantly used in roles in the broadcast booth, such as play-by-play and color commentators, whereas women are predominantly used as sideline reporters. I want to change that.
After Bob Brenly left the Chicago Cubs' TV color commentary post to do the same job with the Arizona Diamondbacks, I figured that I'd start a petition asking for the Chicago Cubs and their television broadcasting partners, WGN-TV, WCIU-TV, and Comcast SportsNet, to hire a woman as the new color commentator for Chicago Cubs television broadcasts.
Here's my SignOn petition asking for the Chicago Cubs to hire a woman as their new television color commentator!
