'We Don’t Have Enough Women In Power,' Says Notre Dame's Muffet McGraw
In a statement that has now gone viral, Muffet McGraw, the head coach of Notre Dame’s women’s basketball team, advocated for gender equality in politics and sports.
"How are these young women looking up and seeing someone that looks like them, preparing them for the future?," she said during a press conference Thursday."We don’t have enough female role models.

Men have the power. Men make the decisions. It’s always the man that is stronger one.
