Over the past few years, NFL fans have become accustomed to receiving their news from reporter Bridget Condon, a native of Boston, Massachusetts, who has contributed to NFL Network, NFL.com, and the NFL app.
During a recent assignment in inclement weather as the San Francisco 49ers prepared to face the Green Bay Packers, Condon was captured holding an umbrella, not for herself, but for her coworker Omar Ruiz. While the act itself might have been considerate, Condon didn’t appear to appreciate the role reversal.
Her displeasure was evident as she subtly mentioned the situation during the broadcast and later addressed it in her caption. The social media call-out served as Condon’s way of conveying the message about traditional chivalrous behavior, suggesting that it’s typically the responsibility of a gentleman to hold the umbrella for a woman.

It seems that Omar Ruiz might be learning this lesson the hard way, and Condon’s public call-out on social media aimed to emphasize the importance of gentlemanly conduct in such situations.
