I can understand not liking certain voices but only liking the sound of a mans voice and not any women’s seems bizarre to me.
Plus there are so many male commentators who know absolutely nothing about the game outside the premier league and spend the whole match whinging (keown, lawrenson, green to name a few!) but they seem to just get a pass because they are men?
The real reason people don’t like it is they just aren’t used to it yet. Always the same when something changes slightly.
