Reply to comment by MikeGolfsPoorly in Olivia Pichardo is the first woman to make the roster of Division I baseball team by AmethystOrator

Obviously, as you know, hockey goalies need massive amounts of agility and quickness that a sumo wrestler would not have, which is why teams aren’t stupid and this doesn’t happen. Similarly teams aren’t stupid and it’s why men are virtually exclusively drafted into mens sports even though anyone is free to be drafted
