Stephen Moore comes under fire for writing that women should not be allowed to referee men’s basketball games — unless they’re good-looking
By Felicia Sonmez Felicia Sonmez National reporter on The Washington Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow April 22 at 5:40 PM Stephen Moore, one of President Trump's planned nominees for the Federal Reserve Board, wrote columns decrying the “feminization of basketball,” denouncing co-ed sports and arguing that women should be barred from refereeing or covering men’s basketball games — unless they are good-looking.
“Donald Trump thinks he can populate the U.S. government the way he picks golf partners at Mar-a-Lago,” National Organization for Women President Toni Van Pelt said in a statement. “He surrounds himself with sycophants and ideologues who similarly embrace his sexism, misogyny and anger. Trump’s nominees do not need to be qualified — so long as they praise him, pledge slavish loyalty, and share his attitudes towards women.
In an email Monday afternoon, Moore dismissed his previous statements about women in sports as having been made in jest. The resurfacing of the columns is the latest debacle for Moore. Court documents show that Moore was also found in contempt of court in 2013 for failing to pay his ex-wife more than $330,000 in alimony and child support.
— Bonnie Bernstein April 22, 2019 CNN noted that Moore responded to criticism of his column at the time, writing, “Look, for all I care the women can use chimpanzees to ref their games. I hate women’s basketball.” Moore had previously argued that peewee soccer was “particularly insidious” because “boys and girls play together.”
