Why not just just hire the most qualified individual ?
Aside from working for TSN and being women, what exactly qualifies Beirness, Waglund, and Hamilton for the job ? And, have any of them ever called Amateur football as Neilson (High school, CJFL, CiS, and even some radio for the Esks) has many times over ?
Equal opportunity and equal outcome are not and should not be the same thing. I’m all for giving a woman a trial shot as a “backup” type of thing (similar to Neilson last season), but sorry (not sorry) I can’t get behind simply handing the #1 or 2 PxP spot to someone simply due to their gender. They should start at the bottom (amateur sports) and work their way up as Cuthbert, Black, Miller, Smith, Lalji, and Neilson have.
