Look, if I was on QVC trying to sell you some control top pantyhose at 2:00am, and you had issues with my believeability, I wouldn't take issue with that. Don't be obtuse, I'm sure you get the concept even if you are too progressive to agree. Its cool.
This was fun....

Nowhere did I say they had to have played football before. I just prefer men commentators for a very manly sport. I'm fine if you disagree, but that's my opinion.
I don't care if men commentate ice skating or gymnastics, and if a woman said "men shouldn't commentate gymnastics or ice skating, it bothers me", I would give zero damns. I would take no offense to a woman saying that. So I'm not real sure why you take offense to me saying I think men should commentate footbal, and that I prefer that. That is not a knock on women, it's just a personal preference.
Here's the deal Beardo. Men have proven consistently to be better at announcing football games than women. That's not sexist that's fact. Now I don't believe the reason for this is because they have experience playing football I think the reason is because the ones that aren't handed a job because of their football experience are only there because they had to be better than every other announcer to get there. What I am saying is the best announcers make it to the best games to announce because they are better at announcing than the others but that hiring practice seems to be totally dead with ESPN. Basically the cream rises to the top but ESPN doesn't hire or promote like that. They give announcers jobs for other reasons besides being the best announcers. They apply this same hiring and promoting technique throughout the company and it goes back to what I said. ESPN is run by an extremely liberal CEO that wants to push his agenda and politics over making money. This is part of the issue with Hollywood right now and a big problem with the Harvey Weinstein type cases. Some in Hollywood want to normalize things that have never been normal in this country and they are starting to get called out for it.
Fine but your preference isn't the only one that matters. And since when do you have to be "extremely liberal" to think that women can do jobs that men do?!? Are you sure you're okay with women driving because even I could make a case against that?*
You might not like this particular woman commentating games. That's fine but that's not what the OP said. That's what I reacted to.
You might not like it but if you listen to me it might keep you from sticking your foot in your mouth on the job and getting fired.
What if she’s making sandwiches while she’s calling the game?
Zero doubt that ESPN stuck her in a Saturday nite SEC GAME on purpose because of politics. That said there are a ton of men play by play guys that are absolutely awful...guy calling the ole miss game for example didn't have a frikin clue. The main reason I'm not a mowins fan is because her voice is annoying as hell.
Now what I think is over the top stupid is sticking a woman in the Sunday night baseball booth as a color commentator!!! I definitely like some experience in that position.
I think it's Beth Mowins (sp?). I know her voice is almost mannish but she is actually attractive and a great person.
This is kind if how I feel. I don't think Beth does a bad job at all. It just feels more natural to me to have a man call the game. And that's not sexist. It's a preference. This kind if thing shouldn't be forced and ESPN sometimes makes it feel forced.
If she's in the prime time slot because she's the best announcer then that makes sense. But this is for politics and that's starting to get old.
I think you're confusing me with someone else. I never said the words "extremely liberal", and I do not need you preaching to me. If I don't want women commentating, and don't think they're as good at it, that is 100% fine....in no way shape or form is that "sticking my foot in my mouth". Being "Politically Correct", does not mean you're "correct".
I won't get into a "big dick" contest on who knows more ball but I do know that she has the exact same experience as I do when it comes to hitting in the major leagues.
I've said this before...I also don't like verducci in the booth for the exact same reasons. Again...this is purely politics.
