Never said Kenney isn't smart-- moreso saying that Kennedy doesn't get the job she has regardless of her smarts if she doesn't look the way she does.

" Sports need to distance themselves from thinking that we choose hot analysts and reporters over smart ones"

The way you worded this was like hot and smart are mutually exclusive traits.

Reality Check: When your job is to be in a front of a camera and speak, people want you to be attractive (though personally I find Kenney very plain looking) and be able to talk well. I'm not sure how much "smarts" are really required to conduct 30 second interviews while a basketball game is going on. There have been sideline reporters from the basketball world w/ extensive basketball knowledge in the past (Doris Burke when she use to do sideline work(and I'd smash Burke 100/100 times over Kenney)) and it's not like the quality of their 30 second interview was better than the average 30 second interview just because she knew more about basketball.

And sports is hardly the only culprit of choosing attractive people to be in front of a camera to talk. Turn on any local news or any network news station. 99/100 of the women are generally considered attractive. They put the overweight, old, or just otherwise ugly ones behind the camera. Is it right? Of course not, but it's the way the world has worked since the invention of the television. The only exception is some cooking shows where they want an old fat homely looking women to remind you of your grandma. But even most cooking shows have foxes like Rachel Ray or Giada.

It's funny cuz up to 45% of the NFL's fanbase is reported to be female, yet every male reporter looks like a geriatric ******* (edit: sac that holds testes) with moving lips. My stance isn't even controversial tbh, it's very obvious and commonly accepted as true across men and women in the field.

And I never called your stance controversial, but it's laughable to think this is something that is confined to sports.

Oh, I said it's confined to sports? Oh dope, please quote me where I said that.

Literally don't give **** for your contrarian shtick here. Glad you've acknowledged the issue.

Good lord dude, dont get your panties bunched up. This is hilarious from a dude who just referred to a woman reporter as just "one with the big boobs". Continue that PC white knight fight for ugly women getting jobs on TV while degrading a woman as just "one with the big boobs".

Kenney is perfectly fine. She's better than the New Zealand one with the big boobs. It's too bad that the only female sideline reporters we get are hot and blonde, but such is the way these things go. Sports need to distance themselves from thinking that we choose hot analysts and reporters over smart ones

Which one is the New Zealand one with the big boobs? I think I should know this, but don't.
