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

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! Shark jukes and shoots! King 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 and hire strictly on skin color and genitals, you don't get ability.

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

Did you hear that female A's announcer last year? Pure comedy.

So bad. Leave it to California lulz

No. For example, the TV broadcast of Mahomes' first start was nearly rendered unwatchable by a female announcer.

Male announcers can suck too (Joe Buck, Tony Romo), but at least there are a few good ones.

Making this thread was like putting up the bat signal for this loser.

It’s mostly fine. I don’t care for commentators in general they don’t bother me but they do not add much either.

The way the people on this board allow them to get under their skin is a sight.

I feel like there is money to me made with a crowd noise only option but I know the lack of advertisements they push would make it hard to sort out financially.

Frightfully impressive you were able to type all of that whilst on your period.

Didn't read by the way.

Male or female, that sucks because they had probably a top 3 or 5 broadcast for a while, and between any two teams, I'd almost always pick their broadcast.

Do not enjoy as much as tolerate, tbh.
I've tried to keep an open mind, but I can't say I enjoy them.
There have been a few NCAA tourney games that had a woman doing pbp, it's...okay.
I'm not going to change the channel because of a woman announcer, but they don't do anything for me to make the call better or enhance the game experience.
