My wife (who published in endocrinology before getting her education degree) was teaching high school science and English in Manitoba. She applied for a position to teach the exact same combination in a town 400 miles closer to our house but was not even short-listed. When she asked why, they said 'Oh, we wanted someone with a stronger sports background'. She hadn't thought to mention that she had shown the kids in the school how to hurdle, and beaten every one of them.

All sweeping statements are wrong.
