  1. Men will be better players (faster/stronger/bigger) Women will be better coaches (eq/big pic/communication)

  2. Is she gonna be in the bed with some players now? lol 2) YES as long as its the BEST person for the position. NOT just "cuz" to prove equality and all that

  3. how very seattle, they also hired a non binary, disabled, aborigine women as assistant gm lol

    I'm only joking around, let's go jessica !!

  4. Sad to see these comments (though not surprising). Do you clowns actually think a professional sports team would hire someone in such a prominent position simply for “PR” reasons? You don’t think there’s any way she could possible be…. dare I say…. a good coach!?!

  5. Looks like there are a lot of sad little men in the comment section here. This isn't a gimmick. This isn't a diversity hire. Sorry fellas. She got hired because they know she's good. Too bad some guys just can't handle that truth.

  6. 5yrs from now she will be suing the league for sexual assault and being under paid. Diversity is our strength lmao.. what a bunch of horse shit

  7. So she is going to be in a locker room full of half naked, millionaire, alpha males. Ya this is going to end well.

    On a side note I wish the Seattle Kraken all the best in the PR storm they are going to have when it comes time to fire her.
