Considering that you do not know her exact role with EA, you can't really comment on if she is qualified for the position or not.  For whatever reason and motivation behind it, EA saw enough of a reason to hire her.

Very true.  Everyone up in arms about this seems to have no idea what she's actually doing or in what capacity, yet they think she doesn't meet their standards to do it.  

It's nothing but a knee jerk reaction to something that the majority of gamers don't even understand.  You hear the same shit spouted about "pushing her agenda" and "ruining gaming", or whatever that means.  You know what ruins gaming?  These god damn petitions and complaints. These self entitled little children who find something that doesn't live up to their idea of something and demand that it be fixed immediately.  Cheapens everything.
