Can't help it but just don't like female sports commentators at all, whether commenting on the live action, "sideline" reporting or studio hosting. Additionally I don't like to listen to women even discussing sports at the office or in a bar, etc. Not saying there shouldn't be any or anything, but just don't like to listen to them.

Now I'm not a sexist or anything as I absolutely believe in eqaul rights & equal pay etc. I've had my fair share of female managers, two of who were the best I've ever had and never give it a second though about working for or with a female. Have tons of really close female friends etc etc. Even my wife and cat are female!

Probably just something coded in my DNA since as child as all the sportscasters in the era I grew up were men and I only talked sports with my male friends and never heard the girls at school discussing them. Obviously there is some association with what I grew up with or something. Wonder what Freud would say if he wasn't busy too w@nking it while leafing through clothing catalogues.

Your thoughts? Do you feel the same way?

That female commentator on MOTD a while back was dire.

when they had that female commentator on MOTD it was horrible, it sounded like it was coming from a child.

Nay for me.

Only for female sports (or for the female version of regular sports). Things like Netball, or Athletics, Equestrian, Gymnastics, Water Polo, Tennis.

i don't like listening to women on the radio at all.

nor female commentators on sport.

I believe if they're good enough, then they're good enough, irrespective of gender. However, I've yet to hear a really good female commentator so maybe you've got a point

retired_sahin

oh except tennis. sue barker is alright as a presenter and some of the women commentators there are alright.

oh and hazel irvine on the snooker is ok but ray stubbs is better.
