Women doing games..

I must be old school and I also have no problem with women being equal or whatever but I grew up for 50 years listening to men cal men’s sports but now it’s all changed! It’s awful to be honest! What happened to stay in ur lane? Oh know am I saying something wrong! Too bad! This is pathetic and ESPN grow a set of balls oops wrong again! Too bad this sucks! This world is insane! Men dressing as women and other way around is wrong it’s Adam and Eve in the eyes of GOD! Yes GOD! I hope Covers respects the freedom of speech bcuz if it can be thrown in my face why can’t I stand up for what I believe in! I fought for this country for our freedom and I will honour my country always but I have respect for all but when I feel disrespected as I do today I stand up for the freedom I fought for! SEMPER FI

you can say that again buddy! It’s Adam and Eve!! Not Adam and Steve !!!

I'm a woman and I totally agree. Men are better at broadcasting the games 

I'm all for women doing games, as long as they got the job for being the best at what they do of the available candidates. Something tells me that is not the case most of the time.

You tellem Devilnuts!!

Two biggest problems:

#1: They talk to much. They drown the picture with words. In my experience, the very best male announcers do not suffer from that affliction. (The worst male announcers also do). The picture matters most. You are there to ADD to the action, not surpass it or overwhelm it. In short, they must get anxious if they stay silent and feel they're not doing their job. A good announcer knows a crucial part of the job is shutting the F up at the right moments.

#2: They routinely interact with their co-announcers in ways that in no way relate to the game at hand. I don't GAF if you like fishing or golfing like your co-announcer does, we're watching a football game. Talk about the F'king football and devote personal interactions with those around you to the task at hand, not personal details. I don't care who you are, to me you're just a voice doing a job. You could be an AI android for all I care.

It's almost never the case. An exception is ESPN's Doris Burke. She knows hoops inside and out, and it's clear she does her homework on the players and coaches.

It's part of the war on men, specifically white men who used to hold the vast majority of sports broadcasting jobs. It's also a reflection of the hatred and contempt for the audience held by those in power of nearly all sports programming. So they're not going to provide us with the announcers we'd prefer to hear. They're instead going to impose upon us the announcers they want us to hear, and they don't mind/care how much it annoys most of us. In fact I'm sure some of them love it, because it's mostly "toxic" men doing the complaining. There's also some media companies simply scared to death of being smeared as misogynists if they don't begin going along with the trend of replacing men with women in the broadcasting booth.

PatsRoll5, be thankful for two things - that you were born decades before our society began getting everything assbackwards, and that you won't live long enough to witness the completed destruction of the country you loved and enjoyed for much of your life. 

Honest women like Ju_lie will also likely agree that having obese women modeling clothing in advertisements does not help sell clothes. If clothes look awful on a woman who looks awful, then what good is that? How is a woman looking at an ad supposed to know if the clothes will look good on her?

Evolve or die…Sounds like most of you are old geezer gambling degenerates with a lot of time in your hands…If you don’t like to hear a female commentator,  then simply turn the volume down…And do you old koots believe cross dressing, woke awareness, and other things you misogynist and close minded old fools don’t  like just came out of the woodwork…They have always existed, you were just too obtuse to see it…

Yeah no... maybe they existed but happened behind close doors or in intimate circles.. not tossed in our faces... didn't see any pictures of cross dressers storming the beach at Normandy or at khe sahn or at Antietam

Communism, Demoralization, DEI, WEF. 

Hey, didn't you hear LonghornHoosier? Evolve and accept communism, demoralization of your country, the destruction that diversity, equity, and inclusion wroughts, and bow to the World Economic Forum! Or drop dead, says LonghornHoosier.

This is a smart post. No rational person could be opposed to a woman getting a job because she is the most qualified person. Unfortunately...that is absolutely not how it works most of the time. There is a woke ideology that is like a virus eating away at the fabric of our countries ( U.S. and Canada ). Fortunately for me...my 33+ years of service is coming to an end soon with retirement but working for the Feds...this stuff has become so bad that I have seen promotions in my unit given to people totally unqualified for the duties they are to assume solely because they check a box. 

A lot of the private sector companies have come around on this issue and are rapidly moving away from DEI because they realize at its core...it is a discriminatory practice. Unfortunately...government and large corporations are saturated with woke ideology and are the last to move away from these practices. They only way to stop it is to speak out against it. Folks...up has become down...good has become evil...men claim to be women...people advocate cutting off childrens genitals while claiming young adults don't have the capability to distinguish right from wrong and shouldn't be charged with crimes. Make no mistake...however...this is all a calculated plan and not coincidence. History calls this practice divide and conquer. Sew chaos amongst the people and it becomes easier to assume power.

At the end of the day...for the most part...I believe that DEI stands for pretty much one thing..."Didn't Earn It". 

I think there have been a few really talented female reporters in the NHL circuit. Katherine Tappan was certainly one and Emily Kaplin is OK IMO but there are quite a few that are obviously not up on the understanding of the sport.

Just so I am clear, you fucksticks like which male announcers?  I don’t like the female ones either but mute button works for both.  Grow up.

@MrBator

 Just a guess, you aren’t a fan of P.K. Subban?  

I think Subban is absolutely great on the intermissions. Even though I despised him as a player since I am a B's fan...I absolutely love his perspectives in between periods. 

@benhogan76

 what the fuck does PK Subban have to do with this? Who's the dummy now? Cause he's black or a former player? 

This post has merit...Jack Edwards has held a job with the Bruins for years 

Although good news...he is retiring after this series. 

Subban has a great personality for his TV gig, and I liked him as a player. I don't know why he retired so young.
