Mushnick's sexist article about Kim Mulkey was an ugly joke

The reason woman-hating Phil Mushnick writes for the second-rate New York Post is that he is a second-rate journalist. Some might even call him a hack.

In a highly sexist, potentially libelous article, Mushnick attacked LSU women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey this week, “calling her a clown-outfitted, attention-starved, raging, sideline-stomping coach.”

In a world where there is no limit to the number of attention-starved, raging, sideline-stomping male coaches he could have made the focus of his hit piece male coaches like John Calipari, who scandal follows wherever he goes, the foul-mouthed whiner Mike Krzysewski, and the ego maniacal Rick Pitino. But, he chooses to attack a woman, even going so far as to criticize the way she dresses.

What is Mushnick’s problem with women?

He says Mulkey is “representative of the uglier side of sports, remorselessly stomping opponents, humiliating them in the name of sports” as if every head coach doesn’t do the same thing.

UCON’s head coach Gino Auriemma led the Huskies to the Final Four this year by beating the likes of Toronto Metropolitan 111-34, Dayton 102-58 and DePaul 104-67. But he gets a pass because he is a male.

In fact, Mushnick couldn’t resist flaming the entire LSU women’s team, calling the players “tantrum prone” and he reserved a highly personal insult for Angel Reese citing her “inability to write a cogent sentence as a public reply to a question on Instagram.” Can a journalist stoop any lower.

Mulkey is one of the most successful women’s basketball coaches in the history of the sport, having won four national championships at Baylor and LSU. She was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000 and the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in 2020. She is the first to win a national championship as a player, assistant coach, and coach. Just as important, she has played a key role in helping lift women’s basketball to astronomical heights. A record 12.3 million viewers turned on the LSU vs. Iowa Elite Eight game recently.

Crawl back under your rock Phil.
