Actually it's a lie. It had been demonstrated over and over. They're taking all jobs and figuring the money earned over all fields and putting it into one pile. Women choose to work in fields that offer naturally lower compensation. When you take a male and female engineer with the same time in the field and working the same hours the compensation is near identical.

Being Intentionally dishonest about something is shameful.

This is amusing listening to a bunch of guys bag on one of the first female game callers and then worry they will be called sexist.

"Some things should be left to tradition" says it all.

Guess what? Traditionally, women couldn't own property in the United States.

Women still make only $.80 for every $1 a man earns. That means that a woman will have to work a decade longer to earn as much as a man.

Fun fact: A 1600s law in Massachusetts proscribed that a woman suffer the same punishment as a witch if they "tempted" man into marriage by wearing high-heeled shoes.

Here's a fun fact for you: No one cares who's the first, or one of the first females to do ANYTHING. The criticism is based off of basic observations that have nothing to do with gender. I think it's annoying that she tries to sound masculine, but I would think the same of a man trying to sound like a woman. I'm an equal opportunity critic, and I would say most here are, as well.

Here's another thing for you to chew on. What women make as compared to men is ON AVERAGE. There are plenty of women who make more than most men. But because most women aren't like you, and they believe in traditional family values, and that a mother should be home with her children, a lot of women don't really pursue a career, and thus they make less money on average. It has nothing to do with prejudice. Women have opportunities now that they never dreamed of a hundred years ago. But, just like the rest of the phony social justice movements, people would rather cling to the past so that they can have something to feel sorry for themselves about.

As a fan of women's college basketball I have been listening to Mowins call games for almost 25 years. Her voice has always held that same timber. It is how she has always talked. Perhaps it is the fact that I am so used to her call that I didn't even notice anything out of place in her call this Monday.

That said, I really don't have any issue with any play-by-play or color announcer. To me they are nothing more than background noise sharing information while I am watching the game.

I'm sure she has been using the same voice for a long time. That doesn't have anything to do with the point that she exaggerates for the "TV voice". Lot's of announcers do it, and they all annoy me.

That's fine if it doesn't annoy you. To each their own, and such.

Let us end all this gender bulls1it once and for all.

New announcer model.
