I have no problem with anyone commentating from a position of strength. The idea is to add value to the watch with some insight or stat. Make the broadcast even better .But thats not the point.
He’s not being employed by the BBC to give his expert analysis,
I don’t think it ruins everyones experience of a Wolves win, nothing can. The point is that yet again there is someone employed who simply is not up to the job and not being recruited for being good at that job.
The most journalists do their groundwork and put in the hard yards at local level broadcasters and truly have to earn the right to get on BBC, many will never make it.
People are being quotered in because they are female, and Lionesses, not because they have earned the right in their chosen profession.
It’s the same with cricket. Finish playing at female International level, which is an appaling standard, and walk into a job on Test Match Special. Good journalists have had to work for many years to acheive this.
Human nature and work culture makes it unpleasant for the vast majority when we see people not being recruited on merit.
So many co commentators are under researched and poorly prepared thinking they can rock up and spout drivel without being called on it, male or female
