Oh No She Didn't!

Alright, I'm sure I'm going to get a whole lot of crap from my women readers on this one, but it is something that has been bugging me for a long time. Alright, I'm just going to say it...Women sports announcers should not exist! I'm not talking about sideline reporters or the sportscasters on ESPN. I'm talking about the play by play or color commentators. I'll give you my reasons why I think this and they are not as sexist as you would think and if you really want to wipe away the pc bs, you'll probably agree with what I have to say.

I'm going to clear the air up front and say that there are a lot of crappy male sports announcers too, like the ones that say,"we're going to the third quarter" for a hockey game or the ones that say "we are going to the fourth period" of a basketball game. In this sense being stupid is not limited to one sex or the other. It just seems to happen more when females are announcing games. As a matter of fact there is only one famous play by play female announcer, ESPN's Pam Ward (who?) and she is one step short or nails on a chalk board when she is calling a game.

While we are at it, don't you think that it is condisending to women to have them as sideline reporters? I mean every sideline reporter has model level beauty (has there ever been a bigger internet search for pictures online then when the public heard there were naked pictures of Erin Andrews in her hotel room?) To me it is kind of a slap in the face of women telling them that thy can't work in the booth but they can work in the locker room or the sidelines. Sure, you might be pissed off at me for my view on their announcing abbilities, but why not take out your frustrations on greedy network executives that feel that sex sells but on only the field and not in the press box. Hey, I'm just saying, they are the sexist pigs you want to be upset at, not me. I'm just a fan wanting to hear the game like it should be heard, by people that know what they are talking about.
