Mike Schmidt, Baseball Hall of Famer and broadcaster , was put under fire after making a sexist joke and trying to cover it up with the 'Me Too' Movement. According to the New York Daily News, he refereed to his wife as a dish washer. After realizing the nature of his comment, he try's to defend himself with the 'Me Too' movement.
The 'Me Too' movement has been a very controversial movement in america lately so for him to make a sexist remark not having anything to do with the movement received some backlash; similar to the feminist movements we have studied in APUSH. “Mike Schmidt is a clown and an embarrassment,” Twitter user wrote. “Get him out of the booth.” His broadcasting teammate also commented that he "dropped the ball" by not correcting him after the statement was made.
