But that distinction gets lost in the process of trying to fit everything into their pre-determined conclusion.
The Chiefs absolutely need to get better about this sort of thing. But so does every other professional sports team on earth, regardless of the precise statistics. So does America as a whole. This is a society that consistently devalues women, and that's ****ed up. But this article does a disservice to that fact by narrowing the focus to a single football team and treating it like the disease and not just one of countless symptoms.
