Female sport Commentators!!!

It is amusing how, generally around this time of the year, a lot of sporting anyalists come out of the woodwork. The current crop are, naturally enough, soccer pundits. People who have never watched a game in their life are now disecting last nights game with unparalleled confidence and self belief. They actally have the audacity to argue the finer points of the laws of the game with us. How bloody dare they, band-wagon-jumper-on’ers.
Each tackle is winced at, aloud, whilst we recount when men were men and hit hard, but no, "they should stop the game to let the ambulance on". WTF. Shut the f**k up woman.

Next will be all Olympic event specialists, GAA Championship, then Wimbeldon etc. until, at last, they return to their mundane Autumn TV schedules of Greys Anatomy/Desperate Housewives/Rachel Allen etc etc. leaving us seasoned couch potatoes to get on with shouting at the TV in peace, and free from the other half.

Or is it just me????

I'm not following any of it, but how do you figure they are bandwagon jumpers? Isn't it entirely feasible they have an interest? And in respect to any women who might give bad commentary, er, I think you get 100 different people together and ask their opinion on any male commentary, you may end up with a flame war about the pros and cons of someones merits.

So, pointless whine thread, really. Congrats.

So you were a soccer pundit before it was popular?
