I'm in the kitchen making those things that seemed to be too much for just two on thanksgiving; green bean casserole, which I like and he does not, and fried gizzards which, for some reason he loves. (Gizzards? Really?)
He's watching college football, Duke and North Carolina. I don't know this, I have to ask him so I can post correctly.
Football is background noise to me, comfortable and generational. If my husband disappeared from the face of the earth, I'd listen to football just to bring his memory near. But, while he lives, I can take it or leave it.
Back to the OP.
There is a female commentator. I can tell by the screeching noise. The "woman who must be man" sound. They were making some kind of play, I don't know, I know there was this irritating Female voice. It irritates me.
So I ask my husband "what do you think about female broadcasters?" Silence.
(I have a story about this man not answering me as soon as I think he should, it involves him doing the Heimlich on himself because his non-answer was so typical, that I didn't realize he was choking and couldn't answer, but I digress)
To check his status I add "if you think about female broadcasters"
"I don't have a problem with female broadcasters" he says. (Well, krap!' I think) "except", he says, "in football".
Now I'm interested.
"Why is that."
"Because they don't play the game, they have never played the game. They play basketball, golf, baseball, they can identify with those sports - but not football" they can't call football beyond the rules. Without having played, they lack passion"
Well, he gives them more credit than I do. I think female broadcasters are just shrieking women who want to be men,regardless of the game.

I tend to agree with him, but then I only watch 3 things on television anymore. College football, college baseball, and college softball.

When did it become law that sideline reporters have to be women? Yeah it's just annoying. The whole thing got put into high gear back in the early 90s when some female reporter made a big stink about behaviors she observed in a report from the locker room. This was early in Rush's national show and I recall him getting a lot of mileage out of it.

I think the tone in their voices is the most grating thing this side of Roseanne Barr. That nasal, masculine "announcer" voice coming out of a woman sounds like vomiting to me.

Ah, yes. The old women in the locker room bit.
Women just don't belong in a mans locker room; it does not make them equal. It does not make them manly and it certainly does not make them feminine.
My aunt Betty used to scream up a storm at her sons games. That was ok. Mom in the stands. She knew everything about football..still didn't make her a man or able to play the game.
Hearing a woman call out football plays, just annoying.
Our local news has a female sportscaster. Very tomboy type gal. Pretty enough. But they try to feminize her. She always looks like she just came in from cruising the drag for customers...

How'd you like the last play of the Iron Bowl last night? I cannot recall if I ever saw anything like that before!

And hey, the play-by-play by a gal...just wouldn't sound the same...

It was THE best game I have ever watched. The second best game was years ago when the St. Louis Rams played the TN Titans in the super bowl. The Rams had the lead by less than a TD and the Titans were moving the ball. A long completion by the receiver was cut short at the 1 yd line when time expired.

I remember that one too! The "Catch" SF vs Dallas was good too, was with a big Cowboys fan in the Navy that day, I took relish in the Cowboys loss! I still haven't forgiven them for the Pearson pushoff against the Vikes!

We watch a lot of baseball in our house. I absolutely hate it when they go down to the field for those stupid after game questions with a female reporter. I don't care if she watched with her dad since she was 2 and played softball in college--I don't want to listen to her!

The "fluff reporters" on the sidelines are just one more reason I don't watch most sports on TV. I never watch baseball, anyway.
I watch the Bears games because I run a pool, same thing with the Superbowl.
