As there is women's football now do men get to be pundits on that?

Anything can happen if you try hard enough in school and get that lucky break. We're rooting for you, champ!
A Question of Sport has been redundant on the BBC for quite a few years now.
Just how can anyone sitting at home watching it be expected to know the answer to any of the questions anymore (unless they've got Sky Sports)
I know I can't. The few times I've ever watched it.

It's a game of two halves. If we all pull together as a team and want it enough...

3 second Google check - 2007 for the first female UK football pundit and on the BBC too - https://womenscompetitions.thefa.com/en/Article/women-in-football-Jacqui-Oatley-240817 -

OMG she got a job on BBC Radio Leeds. Well that's it close the thread because BBC Radio Leeds truly is the pinnacle of football broadcasting isn't it, forget MOTD, Sky Sports Football or World Cup/Euros coverage, she made it to the very top in 2007
she of course makes the point she was the only female face there as well when women make up what percentage of the population again??Talking of 3 minutes, there is 3 minutes I won't get back replying to nonsense.

@Colonel_Klinck - Come on fella, it's not hard. Just take 3 seconds (not minutes) before you post a "fact" just to check you're not posting something wrong, again, and I won't have to keep repeating myself, although I do find it funny to be brutally honest
Bloody hell there's a lot of racist white folk in here dripping with condescension for non-white people.
"But but if we don't bias the playing field however will they achieve anything?"
You are creating a divide that will lead to a real long term social tensions so that you get to virtual signal about how pure you are when it's so obvious you are projecting YOUR inner prejudices on everyone else.

Yep they are sadly abundant on this forum. Obviously if you dare to point it out you are the problem
TBH nothing will change their views, it's a complete waste of time even trying.

LOLOLOL at Colonel_Klinck completely missing the point of the post by @Concrete there
Sadly it's no surprise though, he saw the first line matched his own bias so switched off to the rest of the message, missing the extremely important and valid point being made about hidden racism which I think is very common right now i.e White people saying "If we don't help Black people they will fail" a.k.a White Saviour Complex.

It's pure bait from Lineker designed to wind a certain demographic up. As for Scott, I think she's fine. There's worse male pundits that somehow still keep getting jobs. QOS does seem like a relic in the quiz show world now, the show does need a refresh.

They are all pathetic, Did you see the Lawro predictions where they had some apparant soul singer called Celeste doing football predictions versus Lawro. And in her summary she said she did not really know a lot about football but used to watch some when her dad did when young.
Basically trying to find someone female and black to insert into basically everything just to diversify it. I mean wtf does Celeste know about football?
I like Alex Scott as a pundit, cant stand Lineker, him and Hamilton just need to go. Dont care where..just go.
QoS can go too, program has never been the same since Emlyn Hughes and Bill Beaumont left, was a hilarious show back then been downhill ever since.

They get all sorts of celebs to do that with Lawro, most of whom know nothing about football. It's not some attempt at meeting a diversity quota no matter how hard you want it to be.

Sees a black person, assumes a diversity quota. Bravo...

But people keep implying that certain people are only getting the spots because of their colour and/or gender not talent or contacts/pushy agent. AKA bias rhetoric...LOLOLOL at Colonel_Klinck completely missing the point of the post by @Concrete there
