Woman Commentator

[Croesy Blue]

It's truly staggering that people are that touchy and pathetic to label others "ignorant" or "thick bigots" for having a different opinion.

You must be fun at parties

He literally said there are only 2 places for women. That’s not being touchy that’s calling someone out for being ignorant and stuck in the past.

Well, a direct quote would've helped clear that up, but I'm giving him the benefit of a doubt and assuming it was a tad tongue-in-cheek

Funny how stuff like that always ends up being " tongue in cheek" once someone gets pulled up on it. Even if it was meant ironically I think it would still be 30 years out of date.

Ironically, the reason I assumed it was tongue-in-cheek was precisely because of how out of date and antediluvian it was, but there we go.

Bloody hell, go out for a couple of hours and the PC brigade turns up. The only reason they have a female commentator is because of all this PC crap, not because she/they are good enough. If a person MAN or WOMAN deserves a position they should get it, not because it’s Politically Correct.

Most of the complaints seem to be about the sound of a woman's voice rather than what she's saying, so it's probably not fair at say she's not got the job on merit.
Otherwise are we saying it's fine for women to commentate, as long as they have a voice as deep as Dave Seaman.
If you are fragile enough that listening to a woman talking about a game ruins your enjoyment of it then the problem is probably yours not hers.

It's just a change from what people are used to, I can guarantee that the same moans were had when the first female newsreaders etc started turning up, and now nobody bats an eyelid.

Nothing to do with voice, just don't believe any of them are up to the job on merit. PC in this country has gone overboard.
