After further consideration, I now believe that this woman has absolutely nothing to say that's worthy of discussion. Her outsize prominence is based solely on her ability to play the game of volleyball exceptionally well. This says all you need to know about our culture and times.

I don't agree with the message, but I'm not sure what exactly we should expect from our athletes.  I don't have an issue with athletes using their "outsized prominence" regardless of what game they play exceptionally well, to give voice to issues they feel strongly about.  And some issues, which have until now been given too little attention, can be brought to the fore by athletes.  And while I would prefer that they not need an athlete to increase awareness, I think that on balance, it can be helpful, even if you occasionally will get messages with which you don't agree with.
