I don’t know if its box ticking or they are cheap as chips to hire . .. maybe both
Alex Scott is a monumental box ticker… big personality, big social media presence , black , ex player , lesbian , outspoken ..
How many boxes do you need to tick. ??
Same with F1
Last week ( I may have uploaded a photo) there were 3 unknown women discussing the upcoming race .. one was obviously the host, one was an ex race technician and one was an ex pro race driver ( NOT F1 ) who was black, gorgeous looking but admitted to knowing NOTHING about cars … she just drove them ….

I'm talking about current Cricketers and Footballers and F1 drivers having zero personality.
And tbf I get what you're saying to a point about the box ticking in general (not just with women) but my biggest issue personally is a lack of personality in our current Sports stars and Pundits, and again it's not just the women or POC like I know that some people on the Internet might suggest (and I'm not meaning you btw, Zizu) because Plank from Ed, Edd n' Eddy every Saturday is proof that it's not just the Political “box tickers" that are lacking charisma because he is a white dude.
