But he was right. **
Really ... how many of us like to hear a play by play female announcer for football? Not many.
If the female announcer knows her ****, I couldnt care less if she announces. For all the childish whining and bitching done on this board(and all over the internet) about how bad announcer X is or how biased announcer Z is, I am shocked that people dont want someone else to take a crack at announcing.
...well no, i guess i am not actually shocked since ive been here long enough to understand how absurd so many here are.
To apply it to sports in general- I think Doris Burke is an excellent basketball announcer for college AND NBA. She is experienced, knowledgeable, and can convey points(strategy, execution, etc) that arent typically brought up by other commentators. She also has the respect of players and coaches.
No reason why a woman cant announce/commentate on TV for any sport.
