The one thing I'll say at this moment: #ALeagueOfTheirOwn is not a small or niche show. The audience is domestic, but our understanding is that it's very big. It has outperformed many other shows that have been renewed. Journalists, please stop reinforcing the narrative ...
... That POC/Queer shows are inherently niche or small if you don't have data. That narrative is racist and homophobic and all the other stuff. Please cover these things with some thought and care.
I should have said, largely domestic!

We’ve had such an amazing positive first 4 days for the show, but predictably there are some people who are trolling the show and questioning the stories. So I thought it might be useful to post a few articles emphasizing the real history. #LeagueOfTheirOwn
This article is a great starting place for understanding the queer history of the league, much of which is still hidden. narratively.com/the-hidden-que…
Mamie Johnson tried out for the AAGPBL and was run off, very much like Max in the pilot. She went onto to play professionally in the Negro Leagues, alongside Toni Stone and Connie Morgan. beyondtheboxscore.com/2021/2/19/2228…
