I've read the reasoning but don't understand why a woman can't opine on men's sports and vice-versa. Maybe they should just get trans people to do them all?

A woman CAN opine on men's sports, and vice versa. I just would rather that guys call games that only guys are allowed to play. If this was a co-ed game, then sure, let whoever call it. Let two women call it. At that point, who cares.

The fact that you try to turn it into something more than just simple preference in consuming sports content, and then try to add a racial element to it just to inflame, and then get arrogant and talk about derision, and then think that you're actually being funny while doing it, is beyond obnoxious.

Never went for funny. Went for making a point. And you just proved that point.

Secondly, I'm not the one that called it sexism, even though it clearly is Mr. Bunker.

I don't follow this reply at all.

What was your point, other than trying to perpetuate this offensive bullshit myth that I'm racist and sexist? Race has nothing to do with anything. Do I have an issue with Kevin Weekes or David Amber or anybody else? No. So, "point" #1 was irrelevant and unsubstantiated bullshit. Do I have any issue with women calling women's games or co-ed games? No. But I don't enjoy a woman calling a game in which she herself is not allowed to play. Should a woman be ALLOWED to call a men's game? Sure. Am I allowed not to prefer it. Also sure. So, "point" #2 also bullshit.

The entirety of your post and your rationale behind it was complete garbage. And you were trying to be funny. End of story.

Because men have an established track record of being just too fucking good at it to expect women to ever reach the standard of a Craig Hughson, Craig Simpson, Greg Millen, Galley, etc, etc, etc.

Except that I've always said I love the Canadian broadcasts and don't even want to watch the US versions, so obviously I don't have the same objection to the personalities they've had calling our games, so there goes that.
