Why so many women reporting on sport on the BBC?

Every time I watch BBC news the sport is reported by a woman. Why? All the sport being reported is played 100% by men. What do these ladies know about football, rugger, F1?

The BBC really has gone too far ... again.

Because they don't have beards.

They are not playing sport, however. They are reporting on it. Are 100% of the people that attended the sporting events they are reporting on male? No, of course not. If they are able to convey a deep knowledge and passion for sport and can speak coherently on the subject, then who cares?

Sometimes when I watch BBC news, the fighting in various civil wars, uprisings and conflicts is reported by a woman. Why? All the fighting is done 100% by men. What do these ladies know about murdering, maiming, bombing?

Also when I watch the weather forecast, sometimes it is presented by a woman. Why? The weather consists mainly of wind, rain and occasionally sunshine. Why is the weather forecast not read by spirits of the four elements?

Drivel.

What about that one they call the White Widow? When they talk about terrorism offences where she's involved, would it be permissible to bring in a special female reporter just to give the Mumsnet perspective? Obviously things can revert back to proper journalists once she's had her say.

I agree with Goldstone. I just can't trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesn't die.

The BBC like the political parties want to be seen to be impartial and PC. Personally I dont care either way but just to add fuel to the fire they had a lady presenter on the FL Show.
