The #MeToo movement has touched every facet of the entertainment industry. But, what about the professional sports world?
In her new book, “Sidelined: Sports, Culture, and Being a Woman in America,” award-winning journalist, former sports radio host, and Deadspin editor Julie DiCaro tackles the myriad ways sexism pervades sports at all levels.
