Female Pundits On Men’s Football

[Theblip]

I wonder how the number of people wanting female pundits on men’s football compares to the number of people who (like me) don’t want them. Are there as many male pundits on televised women’s football? I suspect not, but am prepared to be corrected

Ah. I thought pundits were the same as commentators.

Nah, pundits are the ones who sit on the studio and dissect what happened. Commentators are the ones who do the errr... commentary. ☺

[pixie374]

Lol. Apologies then- I was referring to commentators only. As you were...

[pixie374]

^ this is what happens when women get involved with football:-)

[Mozz71]

Uneducated lasses ;-)

Thank you for kindly explaining, instead of just scoffing though x

PP, I think Andy was joking. As you were too, I suspect :)

Jim, what about Clare Balding? She’s good on all sports. Haven’t seen her for a while. Can she be brought in to replace Sue Barker on tennis, who gets wheeled out annually. Oh, and someone please get rid of Andrew Castle. Why do they drag him in for the grass court season?

Yes, what would former French Open Champion Sue Barker know about tennis...

I'm all for anybody being a pundit/commentator who is enthusiastic about the sport they're talking about and wants to share that enthusiasm. The more the merrier. Any suggestion that women are typically less suited to such a job is risible, frankly.
