In this case, yes it does. A preference which is based on the sex of someone rather than their actual ability at the task in hand is misogynist. And assuming that female pundits are there to serve as "eye-candy" is most defintely misogynist as well.

The comparison to your sexual preferences is ridiculous. It doesn't suggest anyone is better or worse at a professional role because of their sex.


It's not an assumption, of course they are there for "eye candy". Not denigrating their ability but the studio bosses choose them exactly for that purpose. If you believe otherwise, you are naive.

Absolutely true, look at Sky Sports News and tell me that the girls on there are not chosen for their looks.

I don't think women commentators are up to par either...

However - I cannot stand Jonathan Pearce. Comes out with some ludicrous statements / opinions. Go back to Robot Wars. Waaaaay out his depth in a football press box!

If they are NOT chosen for their looks, on average, there would be the odd, cross-eyed ugly woman as a presenter.  Who would also be very knowledgeable on football.

Not Ian Dowie I hope  


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!
