That was Nick Saum, Balloonmeister at a Nation Championship, after a female pilot claimed her poor result (from throwing her marker at the wrong intersection) wasthe result of a decision based on her gender (funny, most of the other pilots could read their map and threw on the proper intersection, resulting in better scores.
His remark came in the shadow of her appeal citing gender as the reason for her poor result.
Nick was given an award from a feminist organization, which he framed and hung in his office with pride.
