Unpopular opinion?

She doesn't have any great or amazing takes and lots of ppl like to fellate her as being so knowledgeable. She is fine without the others trying to prop her up but nothing special.
 
I have enough self awareness to know I probably fall into “she knows a lot about football…for a girl” camp. Most of us ladies probably belong in that bucket. The majority us didn’t play the game. Most probably didn’t start watching it until later in life. So I understand there’s that natural inclination to grade us on a curve regarding our knowledge of the sport, and I don’t know if that’s fair or not.

Still, I do know there’s a few women sports personalities that know their shit.

Would I put Mina in that category? Not sure. I haven’t read/heard enough of her stuff, but what little I have I’ve enjoyed her stuff a lot.

She’s good but on the untouchable list if she’s wrong and called out for it.
 
She is awful. There is a decent size of the fan base that thinks she is amazing along with Ben Baldwin (He's a moron to). Imagine if she ran the Seahawks. Carroll and Schneider would be fired and Wilson would have a max contract throwing the ball 45 times a game for some analytical coach who only values offense. We would be 6-11 every year.

It’s not like she talks about blocking schemes or zone blitzes. She knows plenty. And most the time, the X’s and O’s talk is mostly worthless for fans.
 
Jackie MacMullin is my favorite female sports writer/personality. I’ve read some of her books and she’s smart as hell. Mina Kimes is more akin to a shock jock. Like Steven A., she does knows sports but says some outrageous stuff and likes to fan flames to get clicks. It can be annoying.

if you are a fan on the internet trying to talk about X’s and O’s you should light yourself on fire
 
There's maybe three people in all of sports journalism who know what the fuck they're talking about. The rest are various shades of Colin Cowherd.
