I like females...

That's quite a broad statement. Have you ever interacted with BEP?

Uh, obviously no. This can't be a serious question. They shouldn't be allowed to drive, vote, go out in public alone, speak unless spoken to or have opinions either.

Do you enjoy female play by play announcers / color commentators?
 

People complain about announcers too much in general. I haven’t heard many women announcers but they don’t seem any different than the average man.

Doris Burke was absolutely terrible as a color analyst during the NBA finals last year. I miss guys like Hubie Brown and Mike Fratello who had great insight into the game.

Very hard to judge, because a lot of male commentators also piss me off.

I'd struggle to enjoy commentary less than Brady or Charles Davis

I’d like it more if they would do it in hot and sultry phone sex hotline voices.

it seems out of place, more than anything.

I don't know the name, but there's a female analyst who does MLB (maybe for the yankees?), who seems to really know her stuff.

It works better in MLB, as it's more of a conversational situation than NFL or basketball.

Yes, some of them. Others not so much.

Not all that different than the dude commentators.

I like that lady who does the women’s college World Series. I don’t want to paint with a broad brush and just say no. I don’t like 70% of the male announcers either fwiw.

I have no problem with women commentators when it's a woman's sport like women's basketball, which I would never watch.

When I hear a woman commentator on professional men's sports, it just lacks authenticity.

They can commentate women's sports, that makes sense, I don't really watch women's sports

Only when naked....

My wife enjoys watching women's college gymnastics, so I get stuck watching it occasionally. The announcers are always female former athletes, and the color guys are male. I swear the female announcers sound like they roll off an assembly line - all hyperactive, ridiculously perky cheerleader types who likely turn into demons during the commercial breaks. At least they know what they're talking about. The guys typically do little than offer bumbling innocuous blurbs, and well, if any of them are straight, I'd be surprised.

It seems that this particular sport would do better with female color commentators who are, well, actually colorful.

Watch a San Jose Sharks game sometime, sports fans. They fired anyone that was any good, then put a minority woman on the play-by-play. I think she's Philippinno but the important thing is how terrible she is.

She can't follow which players are on the ice at a given time, what with all the line changes. So instead of saying players names, she uses the team name to apply to all of them."Shark on the blue line passes across to a Shark. He fake shoots and passes to a Shark in front of the crease! Shark gets the puck and SHOOTS but the King goalie saves it. Rebound to the corner, two Sharks and one King battling for the puck, and the Shark gets it. The Shark passes to a Shark at the blue line but a King intercepts it and now it's a King headed the other way with one Shark to beat! King jukes and shoots! Shark goalie saves it! King gets the puck and...."

Just that. No names unless someone scores, she eventually figures out who it was, often after the commercial break.

I haven't watched a Sharks game since. It's pathetic. Turns out when you disregard ability in hiring, you don't get ability in your hires.

Women sports announcers need to stick to women's sports. They are trash. Pure garbage.
