Wise writes: …it doesn’t take just an activist to summon emotion when an unidentified player props up two nude, inflatable dolls in an American workplace — dolls with bats strategically positioned around them and one holding a sign that read: “You’ve Got to Push,” a juvenile reference to the White Sox hitting slump.

Whether or not you're a sports fan, you've probably heard of Ozzie Guillen's bullshit commentary on most everything. Being a sports fan, hearing the defense of shit like this is sickening. It's often hard to separate pure sport itself from the misogyny it promotes, so articles like Wise's as well as your commentary here are fantastic and invaluable. I shot him a message, thanks for linking to him. I read that article earlier; definitely on the mark.
