Whether it’s comparable or not.
Meh, you rarely hear the "it's a man's game" draconian view anymore. In fact, football is the biggest, most multi cultured, and universal game in the world. It brings people from all walks of life together. The days of the (usually white) racist/homophobic/misogynistic lager lout fans have reduced tremendously in the last 15/20 years. Most people aren't bothered if it's men or women on the commentary, or as pundits, but the issue is, and this is just the truth, in recent years (last 3 or 4) women have been rushed into men's coverage of football, which is perfectly fine in itself, but they are presented as "experts" which they clearly aren't.

But i don't really want to debate this, Arsenal vs Man Utd is about to start. My advice would be (to people like Zizu ) if you don't like it, don't listen to it, don't watch the chat before and after the game. It's not that deep. If you put men, and women together in the hat of pundits and commentators, a good 80% are shockingly bad and annoying. It's nothing new.
