Maybe an unpopular take - women announcers are difficult to listen to.

Crazy post! You are all cancelled😊

Hate on me if you need to, but just being honest.

I have that same feeling. It may not be logical, but it just seems out of place and annoying. I'd prefer that ladies stick to narrating women's sports and vice versa. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm just being honest.

 

[arenk]

I generally agree. But also dislike plenty of male announcers.

I agree with you on that as well.

Football today, the good looking blonde commentator was talking about how one of the QBs had improved this season with making his progressions 1-2-3. I couldn't help but think, lower the camera so I can check out how big her boobs are. Is that bad of me?

Women do need to know their place in society worship the ground their husband walks on and to stay in the kitchen and make sure he is well fed also to keep the fire going in the winter

True

 

[shano]

Correct.

Not sure why so many posters are comfortable posting that fundamentally - they just don’t like women and don’t like listening to them. Female announcers don’t bother me at all if they have pleasant voices.

And those complaining about using women to announce men’s games, are you similarly offended by men coaching women’s teams (considering the reverse never happens) - like our team? That’s just a ridiculous argument.

I'd say it depends on the commentator. There are some who do really well. Generalizations can get you in trouble because there are exceptions all around. But many women don't think or observe things in the same way men do, so men want to hear details about the game, statistics, observations about unique plays and athletic plays, and commentary about the players, coaches, and their history. And they want to hear from an authority or an expert, like a former player or coach, or a sports broadcaster who knows the game well.

So, I don't care if I'm listening to a woman or a man. I just want to know I'm hearing from someone who knows and understands the game, the teams and players, the coaches, and so on. I've seen a few women who could do that. But I've seen a few who clearly weren't there for their knowledge of the game but maybe other reasons.

If they can't cook send them to the utility room to do laundry keep them busy . I am getting my wife a new dish washer for Christmas so to go along with a year supply of tide detergent I am now going to get her a year supply of cascade too my wife has never had it so good

Rare doesn't mean nonexistent.

Question I've never had this happen but why did it ask me to confirm my like to the OP's post? Like it felt like it was telling me I should feel bad for liking this post lol

 

[know1]

A lot of people with callouses on the backs of their knuckles in here. That's not a good combination when you're also a whiner.

i don’t like women announcers doing men’s sports either, but i don’t like most announcers period. i often watch games with the volume muted which irritates my wife, which makes it even more enjoyable.

 

[blubo]

just go ahead and say it fox, you wear the pants in your family and its good to hear your wife knows that too. women announcer in sports, women responding on sport message boards ,what the hell has the world come to . i mean look you give them the right to vote and look what happens .

yes. sadly that 19th amendment has brought us to this.

 

[BigTyrone]

I like Doris Burke. Candace Parker did a great job in the studio during March Madness.

I can’t think of any others I like.

Most male announcers are annoying too, especially when you get past ESPN’s 2nd or 3rd announcing teams.

IMO Hubie Brown and Doris Burke are far and away the two best NBA color analysts. Hubie is getting ready to retire fairly soon.
