Apologies if this a) sounds sexist or b) has been mentioned before.
But watching MoTD online now and there is a female commentator, Jacqui something, doing the Everton-Fulham game.
Listened to it for about 20 seconds, but then I just couldn't take it any more. Had to mute the laptop. When she gets excited she sounds like a pre-teenage boy, and it just doesn't work for me when I'm watching the footie highlights. I know it may seem sexist, but it just sounds, and feels, wrong.
I have nothing against female post-match interviewers and reporters (the station I worked for in Norway before I moved here had some very good female reporters), but it just feels wrong having a female commentator.
Does anyone agree with me or am I just coming across as a sexist, male-chauvinistic pig?
