Part 10/11:
Brennan addresses the recent criticisms she faced regarding her journalistic approach, particularly concerning handling tough questions with female athletes. Engaging in the tough conversations that come with the territory of sports journalism is vital, and expecting different treatment for women is inconsistent with the principles of equality and professionalism in sports.
Her commitment to honest journalism reflects a larger call for open dialogue within sports, where athletes are prepared to address criticism and challenging questions as part of their roles. Brennan emphasizes that athletes should not shy away from the scrutiny typical of high-stakes sports environments, as it ultimately elevates their status and the leagues they represent.
