“If women were umpiring none of this [rowdyism] would happen.

—Amanda Clement (1888–1971)
“That’s free enterprise, friends: freedom to gamble, freedom to lose. And the great thing—the truly democratic thing about it—is that you don’t even have to be a player to lose.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
