This doesn't just happen in the sports industry, it's literally everywhere. Think any female character in any movie between the 80s-10s. Or anyone popular on social media. If you really want proof, look up "female video game characters"

Establishes both Ethos and Pathos. He paints himself as a credible source as his father was incarcerated and how it affected him growing up, but also engaging pathos by spurring emotion by, for lack of a better word, pitying him.

This is the author's voice on full display. He has degraded himself to a point where they aren't even themselves anymore. This is just him expressing his anguish. But do his peers really have no respect for him? To me it seems he's thinking too hard about it.

I don't know what this kid is talking about. Everyone knows fish is delicious.

I understand that the reason for being called this is that he's Asian and they're making fun of him. However, if someone were to compare me to Conor McGregor, I'd be honored. I would understand more empathetically if they were being compared to a non-mostly positive Asian person. I'd take pride in the comparison if I were him. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

This article angers me far beyond what it should. It is supposed to be a call to action for society to stop treating introverts like they're inferior. As an introvert myself I feel belittled reading this. Like I'm the victim and that it is a negative trait to be an introvert. While it's supposed to be a positive trait according to the article (Oh look, I'm introverted and that makes me a GREAT leader). All it does is just list the author's problems with being an introvert, but all of what she did list is barely traits of being an introvert, it's traits of being a coward with no self-confidence and a victim complex. Being an introvert or an extrovert is neither good nor bad, it's just what it is.
