Female anchors
I know women have equal rights to everything, but some shows that are aimed towards male audiences might have greater success if they had male anchors. ESPN just hired a new female anchor for sportscenter, and Hazle Mae is the lone anchor for the most part in NESN's Sports desk. I enjoy female anchors on the news , but i would rather recieve my sports news from a male who i can relate to. How does everyone feel about female anchors on Sportscenter on ESPN and Sports desk on NESN?

Male anchors appeal to a male audience better than females would do. I know if i turned on sportscenter and saw a woman reporting the yanks I probably wouldnt watch it.
I think that men would rather see a woman in a bikini or cleaning the house than watch them tell them their sports facts. They can probably relate to a male more and assume he actually knows what he's talking about instead of seeing a woman and assuming she is just reading off the promt.
I understand where your coming from and if the case is that espn is just trying to put a pretty face on the tube instead of a knowlagable sportscaster I would rather the knowlagable sports caster. But as far as that person being a woman goes, i could care less. If there is a woman sportscaster who is just as knowlagable i'll listen as long as they have their facts straight. A hot girl who is credible and who knows her sports will always rank high in my books.
i agree with matthew i could really careless if its a woman or a man. Im sure there are plenty of woman knowledgeable about sports. Its all about what you care about. I guess if you look at the statistics more males are interested in sports while woman have their own focuses which men care less about. But when it comes down to whos better at casting our sporting news i think it really depends if the person is actually knowledgeable or not. Woman will allways be looked at for how they look its just how our society works and theres no changing it.
I think some of the sports networks are maybe trying to get more female viewers by putting on more female anchors. You can really see the amount of female anchors they have put on the sidelines of games and in the studio in the past few years. I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing, but I think guys can relate to having a male anchor as opposed to a female one.
As justin said i feel males in general turn to a male sportscaster for their news, but I really do not mind which source my sports news came from. I much rather base who I tuned into by how much they actually know about sports not their race or gender.
I could care less as to who reports the sports news to me as long as they are knowledgeable, and know what they are talking about. A female sportscaster will always rank high in my book as long as they are knowledgeable.
Hey I say if you can cut it, go for it! It's nice for the public to see that females are naive and uneducated when it comes to sports and that we don't just talk about how hot all the players are. We do understand what the hell is happening during the game.
Why can't you relate to a female anchorist? I think you are just being a sexist pig. Some females can relate to sports better than some males. So let's try to be open-minded here. Stop thinking about her physical characterisitcs and listen to the words that are coming out of her mouth, you might actually learn something!
