OzTitan Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 1 hour ago, 8MM said: My wife strongly feels that women should not be calling or be involved in football. Some women didn't care about Trump's grabbing either. I don't think disliking this means you're sexist, as the male voice is different to the female voice and if you prefer that difference then that's just how it is, but the "this person who shares the same qualities agrees so therefore it isn't x-ist" argument is pretty weak. For sexism in particular it isn't informative as the phenomena includes women themselves being sexist as a core part (women read that riddle about the Doctor who can't operate on a boy whose father died in the same car accident because it's their son as a man just as much as men do).

No1TitansFan Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I've heard her do games before and she's ok, she and Chris Spielman are actually pretty good together. She does know her stuff and has at least paid a few dues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Jesus, no one wants to hear some bimbo do play by play. Just have some hot blonde stand in the booth or on the sideline with her tits(and they better be big) half exposed and leave the play by play to the men That's my thoughts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_TITAN Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I see no problem with it but it does seem a little tokenistic seeing as she hasn't done any pre-season NFL games by the sounds of it. Ultimately these jobs should be awarded on merit and merit alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFC. Put your head back into the sand. The business decision to get more ratings is based on the belief that being PC wins ratings. Pink on the field, first woman ref, now first woman Monday night announcer Tell me you are not this naive. I don't give a shit that she is there. Some people refuse to believe there are politics involved in ESPNs fall. I like to point out the politics. Perhaps some will figure it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Interesting that Rex Ryan will be the color analyst. So the second game of ESPN's big MNF season debut will feature a rookie play-by-play announcer and a rookie color analyst, neither of whom has ever called a live NFL game. What could possibly go wrong? Hopefully she takes her shoes off during the broadcast and plays footsie with Ryan under the table all night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTT Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 She's been doing college ball for several years--mostly regional stuff in the mid west or Big 10. Might know her stuff but her voice puts me off. I turn her off almost as soon as I realize she's calling the game. ESPN is surely following the script in making this particular move. If it's passing for a business decision it's keeping with the poor calls they have made in the past few years. Got to shatter that glass ceiling somehow.
