I’m not disagreeing with what she’s saying: I’m just noting that her entreaties to Republicans to discard partisanship are unlikely to bear fruit, given the explicitly partisan nature of the op-ed.
Not that they would have borne fruit anyway; as she indeed notes herself, with her as the messenger, it’s likely that any requests she made to Republicans, no matter how logical and well-argued, would be spurned.

They’re ignoring those people, too. Lots of public defections from people who’ve been forefront in the party for decades. It’s like they simply don’t exist anymore, in right wing media.

The only women who speak are the two white coaches, but that’s partly due to the fact that even when he tries to engage one of the players in conversation, she’s having none of it.
Feeding fast food to top athletes: we are far from the previous administration and its support of healthy eating.
