How would you evaluate an analyst?
Do you enjoy the analyst more if they are covering a gender-appropriate sport?
Are women given a fair opportunity in sport media in 2019?
What do women need to show if anything, to receive a fair opportunity?
Would more women in sport media deliver more coverage for female sports?
Do you think that even today there is still a bias in who receives more coverage? If so, do you think that this bias will ever change?
Are there any sporting events or programs where women receive more coverage than men? Are there any sporting events or programs that women SHOULD receive more?
Why is that women sports are being held back on air time?
