It's an obvious point that a no female (none) could be an expert on the men's game.. since they've never played in it. You said that no female commentator could be taken seriously - then followed it up with the above. Does this not mean that 90% of male commentators can’t be taken seriously either - having never played the game? I dunno, maybe you deserve to get pulled for being sexist 🤷 Edited February 9, 2023 by Markymark1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Mikey Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Any time that commentators pluralise, whether referencing players or clubs. "It's when you come up against the Dundee Uniteds or the Motherwells" ... etc. Or, "It's the Ronaldos and Messis that you must admire."

Cruyff Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Terminology like "low block" is standardized now across all coaching courses so that you can coach anywhere in the world and players will know what their coach is talking about.
