doris burke(female espn announcer)

[jeter12171]

What is espn doing im all for equal rights but shes god awful. She never shutssssssssss uppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!! Her voice makes me cringe I cant watch any game shes announcing. Isnt there womens tournaments she could be doin. Like to get some others opinions on her.

 

[bucsfan67]

wow, we disagree on her.....I had a thread awhile back, about how she is one of the smarter announcers they have...u can tell she KNOWS the game and the players....she's not there for her looks (obviously) but she does know the game...i like her on there....but to each their own.......everyone has their favs..

 

[billhill999]

I think she's better than 1/2 the men, but that's just me.
She could tone it down a bit, but she's very sports smart, was a standout hoop star at Providence, and I'd rather have my TV analyst, analyzing, instead of shutting up.

 

[jeter12171]

her voice is like knives goin thru you. Im not doubting she knows what shes talking about but shes a know it all and cant get 1 thought out without trying to get the next 1 out cause she just wants to talk women have no place announcing mens sports. im betting I dont wanna here her talking about what a team needs to get into teh ncaa tourney when there down 20and 15th team out on the bubble. shes a moron

They need to have some women announcing and she may be the best of the crop

 

[jeter12171]

maybe I just cant take women announcers yankees used to have john stering and michael k was great then they brought in some lady susan or amy guerrero i dont care to know and i cant listen to it anymore. She is great at announcing stuff like this is teh dodge 7th inning home run inning ill give her that lol

 

[GOFOR2]

I know what you mean. But I have an issue with some women's sports as I think many of them want to beat their chest like a man and it's kind of disturbing

Are you bidding for misogynist of the year?
WOW!
Question? How is a woman's sport different than a mans sport? (with the excption of the time clock)
I mean the basket is still the same height, the length of the court is the same size.

p.s. five words: punctuation marks, look into them.

 

[jeter12171]

There is a big diference in womens hoops the balls smaller, and we dont need women announcers, Ive never seen a mexica or chinese announcer announcing games on espn in the usa why women theres wnba go there

no they dont...

 

[GOFOR2]

ESPN has many Lesbians followers and if you haven't noticed the % of Lesbians is increasing steadily! LOL

And all I am trying to do is create controversy

If by controversy, you mean ignorance, then yeah.

Have a nice life, I'm done with this thread.

seems you're off to a bad start here Jeter, with everything posted being critical of either women, or other races, etc...

have a feeling this belongs down where your other stuff does.....

I started a Doris bashing thread a couple weeks ago:

The most laughable moment in the game I was watching,
she asked the other announcer if he was on facebook or twitter,
he completely ignored her.
