WOMAN COMMENTATOR ‘TOO HIGH-PITCHED’
A FORMER footballer was branded a sexist dinosaur because he said he preferred male commentators.
Ex-Chelsea star Jason Cundy said he found the BBC’s coverage of the World Cup clash between Morocco and Portugal, the first to be led by a woman, ‘too high-pitched’.
Cundy, 48, said: ‘I found it a tough listen if I’m honest.
‘Personal preference, I would like to hear a male voice, for 0 minutes of football hearing a high-pitched tone is not really what I would like to hear.’ Vicki Sparks, 2 , made history last week when she became the first woman to commentate live on a World Cup match on British TV.
Chelsea woman footballer Fran Kirby, 24, tweeted: ‘How about we just go back to the dinosaur ages to 1 21 and ban women’s football? Because clearly some people haven’t evolved since then and are still stuck in that time period.’
Lord Sugar was accused of sexism by Twitter users after he urged men to send their partners sweets in the post for ‘ignoring’ them during the World Cup.
