Glenn…. When you say “I do not like women commentators”, let’s try this out for size. After decades of hearing male voices reporting on men’s sports it can be very strange and perhaps off-putting to hear the female voice. That can be a natural human reaction, without necessarily being misogynistic. Without getting into the weeds of defining and describing it, let’s just say that this is our emotional response. But humans also have a very reasoned, intellectual capacity that can lead us to think” What is she actually saying? Is she accurate and astute? Does she in essence know what she is talking about? If the answer tends to indicate YES, then we can adjust and accept it. When we hear other female voices we apply the same line of reasoning. Sometimes your opinion may be she doesn’t know what she is talking about. Same applies to male announcers. In summation, judge an announcer by their content, not the sound of their voice.

Unfortunately, society is in the mess it is in today primarily because the subjugation of women over the years of western history has robbed us of a universe of talent and judgement.
