Potential Vikings GM hire might be problematic for one media guy

My Minnesota Vikings are in the midst of interviewing multiple people for both their General Manager and Head Coach vacancies. 


One GM candidate was particularly intriguing. 





It is believed that Ms. Raiche is the first woman ever to interview for a NFL GM position. And if she is deemed eminently qualified for the position, I would have zero issue with her being hired. In fact, there's a large part of me which hopes that she is the most qualified and thus lands the job. 


You see, it was about a week ago when smug, insufferable Star Tribune columnist Jim Souhan essentially said that Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf are not sufficiently anti-racist unless they hire a black guy for both job openings. So if Ms. Raiche is indeed hired as Vikings GM, this would have to be unsatisfactory in the eyes of Souhan given the very specific criteria he outlined for this job opening. So by proggie Souhan's logic, he would not be sufficiently anti-misogynist. 


Again, I don't make the rules.
