Following on Jason Cundys recent comments about women commentators and the backlash he received what are your thoughts on this. Unfortunately you cant make a comment about women, race these days without being branded feminist ,racists or whatever.
On this occasion I have to agree with him. Am all for women on the TV panels and as a guest pundit. Some have great knowledge and also a bit if eye candy sure does help..Not sexist
but I found a lot of commentary annoying at the best of times and a high pitched commentary just doesn't capture that amazing goal or piece of action. Can you imagine the Agueor moment delivered in high pitched voice
Thoughts?

The worst part about Cundy saying what he said, is that he has a hugely irritating voice himself

Just like current topic, opinion divided obviously..

"What I prefer to listen to is a male voice"
That's not sexist though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sexism is discrimination based purely on gender. Cundy is not interested in anything about the voice other than whether it's male or female so yes, it is a sexist preference.
I honestly can't tell if this is a wind-up. What is sexist if this isn't?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Discrimination and Preference are not the same thing.
Just because you prefer one thing does not mean you are discriminating against the other choices.
If your preference is grounded in prejudice, then fair enough, your are discriminating but as far as I am aware, Cundy was saying nothing other than he prefers a male voice.
That's no different to me saying i prefer to listen to female opera singers...Im not being sexist against men, its just my preference (i have no opera preference BTW !!)

Not a big fan myself, just seems wrong !!!!
On the pther hand some women are much better than some of the male idiots

Cundy is a fat whiny-voiced cant.
Although not a fan of the women commentators myself so far (along with most of the men ones too), give me them over this pie eating lard vat all day long

No, ignorant for grouping all women together as you just did.
'They are not the best person'?
Feck me, you're embarrassing yourself.
