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

Poll

In so many words.... no.

Especially in baseball and football.

Nope.

Not that I wouldn't enjoy a female commentator, there just haven't been any good ones.

I sincerely don't want this to sound... Um... Whatever it's going to sound like.... But they all kinda sound the same to me.

I don't really mind Candace Parker talking about basketball i guess because she's a high level basketball player. On the other hand, I don't want to hear a softball player tell me about baseball.

LMAO

Frickin terrible

Sure. It depends. I like Doris Burke. And while not a play by play announcer, Linda Cohn.

I don’t mind any commentators in general. I love Harlan, like Troy & Joe Buck, like Collinsworth & Tirico, love Nantz, like Romo, love Al Michaels, really like Olsen.

Everyone was complaining about Booger, Witten and that play-by-play guy who tried his damnedest to make Mahomes’ “Showtime” nickname a thing, I can’t think of his name, but I didn’t even mind those guys much.

I suppose I don’t love Charles Davis. His voice is annoying for some reason. Fouts can be a bit of an idiot. Like, he’ll say shit that demonstrates that he clearly doesn’t understand a particular rule or didn’t see something that was clearly shown on an instant replay. Herbstreit is also pretty low energy. He needs to add some razzle to his dazzle.

This comment got a little out of hand but the female announcers I’ve heard are calling NBA games. I don’t particularly enjoy them but I don’t dislike them either.

I don't pay much attention with most sports and kind of doubt they're any worse than Charles Davis, Romo, Collinsworth, that one CBB guy who's always on the brink of orgasm... hell, Romo was great in his first couple seasons and they said nah, stop talking football and be temu Collinsworth.

You need greatness with baseball though... there's a ton of filler and the downtime to exciting play ratio is so much different than other sports, you need to be great at both.

Not really. Nothing against it. But a lot of them seemed forced into the broadcast.

I’m all for it increasing competition. Most announcers are mediocre at best, so doubling the pool of potentials can only help.

Depends on the sport for me. Some of the ones for hockey and soccer know more about the games than the guys, so those are a positive.

There are some who annoy me because they talk nonstop, but there are plenty of annoying male announcers as well.

I subscribe to the Harrison Butker doctrine. If there's a perfectly qualified male available then he should be on air and the woman should in the kitchen making him a tasty sandwich.

Absolutely not.
