Saying that women are in general not as good as men at some things is very risky -- as former Harvard President Larry Summers found out. It seems to be less risky in English football, as the club manager who said the following at least kept his job:
"Newell questioned the competence of assistant referee Amy Rayner - and women officials in general - after a 3-2 loss to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
"This is not park football, so what are women doing here?" Newell said Saturday in his post-game news conference. "It is tokenism for the politically correct idiots.
"I know that sounds sexist, but I am sexist, so I am not going to be anything other than that," he added. "We have a problem in this country with political correctness, and bringing women into the game is not the way to improve refereeing and officialdom."

He did have to apologize, however.
