What’s people’s views and opinions on women commenting on the male game.

Personally I prefer male pundits and commentators for the men’s game but also understand that not everyone has the same opinion as me.

I’m not sexist it’s just my preference. I don’t like female presenters in formula one either.

It’s interesting reading this thread from Canada.

Here, we have excellent female presenters, who provide both excellent commentary and match analysis before, during and after games. They do this for both men and women’s games. You don’t even notice the gender here.

Personally, I don’t think your beef should be with female presenters but with the production teams that are choosing who presents their football. The BBC and Sky are notoriously bad at selecting appropriate people for these roles and often take the lazy (easy) route of choosing a big name or ‘personality’. I am sure just as many women complain about the poor quality female presenters as you do, but you need to understand that’s not their fault.

You definitely need to look at more factors than just gender here.

Agree with this. I actually think we have quality male and female presenters here. The bad female ones are unfairly jumped on by Joe Barton fanclub which sets things back a bit but generally the quality good.

I can't actually imagine going back to all male lineups. It would be weird and backwards. You are right though, when there is lazy selection and you get some right poor pundits it gets jumped on.

Poll:

Who do we think McKenna (not you) will partner Greaves with ?
