Hawks play by play announcer is a real woman, cool…

[SantaClaraHawk]

Let's judge her on her merits, not her gender. I, for one, couldn't disagree more. Absolutely no reason a woman couldn't do this job. But it's a tough job--I can't stand most men who do it, either. I love Al Michaels, but there's only one Al

Have you never watched women's sports on TV? Its not much different calling a football game.

In general, I’d say the hardest to call is football just as there’s so much going on…

Whatever. This outdated POV can go to bed. If she is good, who cares?

Give me a break. It's not out dated, it's a valid opinion.

 

[cymatica]

And then there's those like me that have never given it even a passing thought until now.

And now you'll notice it from here on out. You're welcome

If you want to learn a little more about her and her some of her play-by-play for the 76ers.

Ok, I am convinced that she is a real woman.

I'm not judging her on her gender. It's my opinion that a female voice doesn't fit in an NFL announcing role. Not judgement, it's about how it fits with the particular sport and the vibe of play by play

Lots of White Knights in this thread.

Unfortunately she still wont bang any of you caped heroes.

No breaks. It's an opinion, not a valid one.

Thanks! You're a godsend!

Fortunately, she was hired to announce Seahawks games and that's pretty cool all by itself.

At least it's not Beth Mowins.

Angie Mentink has done a few Mariners games. She's pretty good.

Finally, a real woman responds

 

[WarHawks]

Cool! Breath of fresh air. Glad to see things shaken up a bit and competency rewarded, as it should be.

 

[SantaClaraHawk]

I've heard her call some Philadelphia 76ers games. She has kind of an annoying voice. Meh. It's just preseason, who really cares.

Having a radio voice matters. The best announcers like Harlan make it so interesting that you almost don’t miss tv if you’re actually on radio…

 

[bileever]

Despite my openness to a female play-by-play announcer, I don't hold out much hope for Kate Scott being any good. It's the preseason, and no one they get is going to be that great.

Get over yourself. Your opinion of my opinion is invalid.

That's my point. Unfortunately it is drowned out by a bunch of finger wagging self righteousness. It's pretty ironic coming from those that claim to be inclusive.

I hold some hope for her Considering she’s announced games before. And for females, it’s a social challenge considering the position they are put in.

Usually with female commentators or reporters, the highest they aspire to at a game is sideline reporter. These women at least get to dress with the elements, whereas any woman doing analyst or commentary inside is expected to show up lougartin 4 inch heels and Tight dresses that inch up toward their ass In front of at least one dude or more in normal clothes. The woman is set up to be a bimbo or a mommy manager.

Whatever, I hope she can just show up in her work blazer or whatever…

Hmmmm Hockey is pretty hard and fast but try calling and Aussie rules game.

Try even watching an understanding the rules of AFL (aussie rules). Luckily when I first moved here the first time in 1993 I moved in next door to a former player. Taught me a lot.
