Unless the Beeb have another woman to come in I'm sure we will. She isn't there because she is the best person for the job, she's there because she is female.
Having women commentate is important because it opens the door for other women, who may be more talented, to get these jobs in future.No way. They'll call anyone with legitimate criticism sexist and Nazi. Welcome to 2018.
It is not as if the current selection criteria has prioritised talent; it hasn’t. What we mostly get is nostalgic names who are barely coherent and who spout inanities. But what a great player he was !
In the end having only 50% of people eligible for a job where gender does not confer any advantage is not conducive to having the best talent available.
There you go - a good argument and nobody got called a nazi.
