Annoying!

Irritating

Yeah I noticed there are so many women only places and the few men only, the women complain and want to break the glass ceiling.

Not sure I’d get the full experience watching the game if you take away the female commentators who fill me in on what the QB’s favorite pre-game superstitions are.
Also, Kirk Herbstreit is female enough.

Only if for if young and attractive

I guess this started as a "woo hoo look at this hot chick knowing crap about football". I will pay attention to you bitches now, if you can stop a running back for only a 5 yard gain in a 5th grade pee wee Oklahoma drill..

I don’t like it. They try too hard.

Why would I listen to someone that never played the sport?
There is a logic to that.

Not the same when you are comparing players to professional commentators.
There have been some great commentators that never played many or any of the sports they did play by play for:
Howard Cosell
Bob Costas
Vin Scully
Jim Mckay
Al Michaels
Kieth Jackson
Doc Emrick
Larry Merchant
Dick Enberg
Play-by-play is pretty common, color is less common.

I dislike it.

Listening to women yap about sports is like a man watching the View.

How do you think the coaches feel? Anxious to get into the locker room and talk to his players and other coaches but is interrupted by some stupid questions he must answer.
Speaking of which, Taylor McGregor is the finest one imho.

It shouldnt be allowed in football, yet there will always be a few doing bowl season.

it's annoying for sure, but the main problem is that they have been shoehorned into these positions for diversity or whatever, and they dont know what they are talking about.
I would take Laura Rutledge in any position.

They always sound like they're trying too hard... I don't get it...

Her role is more of the show host. They may give their two cents at the end or something but there mostly just asking questions for others to answer. Kinda like Sam Ponder.
When they’re actually analyst it’s comical. Like asking your plumber for medical advice.
This really just pertains to football. Basketball and other sports that women actually play I don’t mind their analysis so long as they used to play.
