They also seem to have taken over most of the 'sports correspondents' slots on the BBC news. Just wondering ……. you ok with that …….?

I tell you what I hate is people who get offended because the think its cool to do so and fun to get on the pc wagon and look down at people
I totally agree with the original posters point, I think I know the one he is on about to, the one who seems to shout everything im not sexist as there are some male commentators that I cannot stand either, if fact a lot more
and there are some females I could listen too all day, Lindsay hipgrave is my fav, I just love that voice, she could commentator on the town losing and it would still sound great .;-)

By the way, I like the slightly caveman-like title of this thread: "woman commentators".
Can't imagine a corresponding thread being called "man lifestyle show presenters".

And who seems to think it's "cool" and "fun"? And what on earth is "the pc wagon"? You having a bad afternoon? You haven't heard about how cool it is to be offended by bigotry yet? You're missing out. I do enjoy Pilch's response. Classic pale, stale old male getting annoyed about people pointing out bigotry.
We'd never start a thread saying 'Male commentators'

To blatantly say that “ women “ commentators are not as good as their male counterparts is , without a doubt, sexist. Many female commentators are now employed based on them having been excellent players at their respective sport. They have the knowledge and basically know a lot more about the sport than some male commentators I could mention.
If you do not like a certain female commentator then name them and try giving your opinion “ weight” by stating why?

One thing I really hate in this world is forced representation. I don't care if there's no female commentators, no females in the boardroom, could'nt care less. Equally, I don't care if there's no men. I want the absolute best doing what they do best, if all the best boardroom members are 100% women crack on, same the other way, same with commentators.
Same with the Rooney rule, a black or ethnic minority candidate should absolute not get an interview for every job. Again, not bothered if every person they interview is black or ethnic minority because they're the best candidates for that job, same the other way. Really against this forced representation business.
All the above said, the original poster is a complete idiot.

Out of curiosity (genuinely don’t know the answer here) but have the bbc or whoever been forced to do this or are they tapping in to the broadening market?

So in your first paragraph you agree with me then I’m an idiot for stating what an opinion all be it an old fashioned one?

My point was around forced representation.
