Lia Thomas, Brooke Forde Among 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year Nominees
Man who cheated women out of swimming medals nominated for woman of the year. The insults just never end, do they.
NCAA champion Lia Thomas and American Olympian Brooke Forde were among the nominees for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year, released Thursday.
The duo is among 577 graduating student-athletes in Division I, II and III nominated for the award. Schools nominate their athletes for the award, and conferences select up to two from each school. The preliminary list will be narrowed down to 10 athletes from each division, 30 in total. The Woman of the Year award was created in 1991, honoring “female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers.” This year’s class of nominees coincides with the 50th anniversary of Title IX.
So Penn decided to insult all its female swimmers by nominating a man – a tall hulking man with enormous shoulders, at that – Woman of the Year. Penn might as well spit in their faces.
And cheated a Penn woman out of her nomination — 1 of 2 that each school can put on the list.
Exactly.
It’s now de rigueur to play men at the top of Woman of the Year nominations just for being stunning and brave.
