But isn’t that what being a good pundit is all about, Mickd? Having decent knowledge but not trying to pretend they know more than they do. Most major sports are obviously going to be male dominated because most of the major sports are primarily played by men for men. But that doesn’t automatically mean women can’t do a good job. For example, in Canada they have started using more women to do both punditry and play-by-play commentary for ice hockey. When they first did it a few years ago there was a collective groan of “why do we need to do this” but now that we are more used to it, its hard to deny that some of them are pretty good. Cassie Campbell, for example, is really good. She’s everything you want in a pundit - she’s played at a high level, knows the game inside out, she knows the league and the players, and sounds good (ie the right amount of urgency and excitement without sounding like she’s trying to say something for the sake of saying anything). I for one don’t mind at all when she is on the broadcast. I cannot say that for all commentators, male or female. There’s good and bad. I dont believe in hiring women for the sake of hiring women, but if they are good enough, they are good enough.
