Ed Werder Called Out Sports Illustrated Writer for Offering to Help Women Get Hired

Former ESPN reporter Ed Werder thought it was a good idea to call out Sports Illustrated writer Charlotte Wilder for offering to help women get a job with at SI.  It turned out it was not.

Werder’s premise that Wilder was saying that men shouldn’t apply was clearly an incorrect one.  But it didn’t keep him from going back and forth with Wilder and other female reporters.

I think it’s safe to say Werder didn’t do himself any favors and probably isn’t going to be working at Sports Illustrated any time soon.

Nevertheless, Werder claimed he wasn’t trying to offend anyone, he was just being an advocate for an inclusive process.  Just doing hero work is all.
