People used to travel around the country selling miracle tonics that they knew either didn't work or made people's health worse. Cigarette companies have known for decades that they caused cancer. Builders merchants knew for years that asbestos eventually made your lungs drown in fluids. Some people run Taylor Swift fan sites.
But funnily enough Barton and you only give any focus to the females as being the problem.
I'd actually be surprised if GBNews touches him. What with booting Fox and his best pal that Poundland pope cretin recently.
Exactly, even they have standards. If Twitter didn’t exist, Barton’s only platform would be as the bloke down the pub.
And shit male pundits were hired literally because they're men. Your hypothetical situation doesn't have a shred of proof or evidence to suggest that would be the case.
Below the men's for me going by what appears to be their hiring criteria.
I've never said females were the problem. Very strange post.
oh well done. use his voice own words against him why don’t you.
turnstile steward, vetting fans and making sure only really manly ones are allowed in to watch football. (no foreigns.)
Sounds like something that would fit him quite well.

It's just a Twitter poll, means nothing. I don't think there is any logical reason that would prevent women from doing those jobs other than a possible contradiction of sorts that I highlighted a few posts up.
Most of the voters and people seeing this on their feed will be like minded people who follow him and others with similar views. I’d like to think it’s not representative of the nation as a whole.
There is a lot of cash in non woke online grifting. Pays for plenty of lines of the finest from Columbia which most appear to be using.
It's a growing market, unfortunately.
Exactly. I think the recruitment strategy is more bias towards biological sex than ability.
How many female pundits even is there in men's football at the moment? Certainly not enough that they're getting in the way of these decent pundits getting jobs, like you claim.

It’s actually quite scary how many people do support his views though. I suppose social media gives people the anonymity to spout any view they like without any real backlash.
It's even scarier the amount of people with daughters backing the likes of him and Greenwood.
She doesn't let you watch porn? Sorry mate.
It's hilarious anyone is trying to argue that point. I honestly can't get my head around it. It's a spectacularly bad take.
When networks have been hiring shit pundits for decades could you provide any evidence or even reasoning to back this idea up?
Nedum Onuoha does podcasts or something.
I'm inclined to think the people who would vote on it are the people who follow him, who you would guess are more likely to hold similar views to him. I would not have seen the poll were it not for this thread and I'm not interested in giving his profile more interactions by opening twitter and voting in it
Agreed - I didn't say it was the biggest issue, just a conversation to be has about it. Those mentioned were also established before the current trends of hiring female pundits so not surprising they are still around.
Yes there's been a 5650% (56x) increase in about 5 seasons.
Not helpful.
I'm not sure what point you're making or what you intended this article to support but it's actually very interesting reading, the article itself shows the numbers reflect an almost non existent space for female commentators 5 years ago and that while the broadcasters are now embracing female commentators/pundits the % increase is also a reflection of more games being broadcast (particularly during lockdown) and more platforms broadcasting games. Screen time is rising significantly for both male and female commentators/pundits and there is still a noticeable disparity as highlighted on the full text you quoted "The number of females covering men’s games in either commentator or pundit capacity grew by 5650% from 2016/17 to 2020/21 (a mere 12 appearances to 690). In comparison, last season saw 2500 male commentators and pundits appear in all televised men’s games, a difference of 1810."
