I usually change the channel then and watch Vice Grip Garage or Road Kill Garage.

I was surprised to learn this, but the OT has tons of Holly Rowe supporters who want to hear what she has to say.

I personally don't want to hear or see her - especially after the Arch Manning incident. Frick her fat arse.

Some of them are pretty good. Im nlt turning off the TV just because there's a female commentator.

Never listen to a woman calling football game. Likely never will.

I don't know why the MSB turned on Doris Burke. Maybe she has declined, I don't know. She was the one woman that men could tolerate.

I am fine with women on men's tennis. Mary Carillo, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Navratilova and a few others.

Holly Rowe is okay for her purpose, which is to speak for 5-10 minutes a game, have nobody listen to her, and know that nobody is listening to her.

It's more annoying when they have a woman announcer for the whole game that you're actually supposed to listen to.

If you’re referring to Beth “Mute Button” Mowans, she should be canned.

I do not enjoy it.
They provide no insight or meaningful contribution.
I don't want or need eye candy with my football.

I also don't need the coach interview at halftime or postgame on the field.

Overall, a very annoying experience that I wish would disappear.

I honestly don’t care - as long as they know what they are talking about. Same with men announcing women’s sports

Generally I could care less but there is on sirius 84, something like button for a last name, and she is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. That is a me issue, not a her or an espn issue. Most male announcers are about as annoying as most of the female announcers, to me, and again that is a me issue and not a them issue....

No amount of Holly Rowe is an OK amount of Holly Rowe.

Not sure but Michelle Smallman has a lovely voice, I don't mind hearing her talk about nothing tbh.

I know that broadcasting corporations do this for many reasons like inclusivity and to piss off people like me.
A bunch of years back, a former SEC QB was a rep for a company I bought from. He would come in every couple of months, and I got to hear a female employee express her opinions about what her favorite team should do on offense. It was cringe before cringe was a thing. I could almost read his mind. It was like Einstein being lectured by somebody who took a year of HS algebra.

It’s bull shite. But then again I don’t watch women’s sports unless is LSU or it’s beach volleyball.

I’m a dude. There’s no reason women should be speaking during a football, basketball or baseball broadcast. There’s also no need for a sideline report or an interview before half or during the game.
