This article hits on what I was talking about: commentator criticism. For the women’s team there seems to be none. But in this case there was criticism and Hope decides to blow up on twitter before even commenting on the team’s great win. I’m not sure how offensive Chastain’s comment was but evidently her job as a commentator is to criticize not to always praise. There needs to be a healthy balance between the two.
