23 years ago this week in Sports Illustrated:
At the end of a spring training game on March 14, 1986 Houston Astros pitcher Bob Knepper praised the work of home plate umpire Pam Postema, who was hoping to land a job in the majors after 11 years in the minor leagues.
But then Knepper added, "This is not an occupation a woman should be in. In God's society, woman was created in a role of submission to the husband. It's not that woman is inferior, but I don't believe women should be in a leadership role."Knepper was nominated for Neanderthal of the Year by the Houston chapter of the National Organization for Women."NOW is such a blowhard organization," Knepper replied. "They are a bunch of lesbians. Their focus has nothing to do with women's rights. It has everything to do with women wanting to be men."
I can remember seeing signs at games that said "Bob Knepper call your wife N.O.W."
It was an estrogen fueled firestorm at the time, but with 20/20 hindsight, we see who the real bigots were.
