Yes, ultimately, I think we should want true equity with standards that go both ways. Men should also not be made to feel like objects. I think we just have to acknowledge that men and women are currently in much different places in how they are treated in this sphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all acknowledge that. I must admit though, when it comes to inclusion, I find we have this interesting approach that goes something like this: "The majority of dirtbags are men so let's take them to task so that we can have an inclusive environment". It is kind of like wack-a-mole. Overtime, I think women would feel less objectified, but men would feel more targeted. You fix one problem and create another. What do you think? As for this particular case, I have not heard their podcast since they went behind a paywall. I do like that Scottish guy though and I also like Andi very much. Does anyone know if she has taken issue with his comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexism has finally been eliminated and Robo-tron 3000 now works in an very inclusive robo-environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and looking at the on air talent for the respective networks is a pretty good reminder of this. Ultimately, the comments are unprofessional and unbecoming and reinforce the idea of sports being a guy's domain. But if they're not coming from a professional news/sports outlet - it's just a podcast, right? - and they're not coming from the CanPL, then the people will have their say and the market will take its course.
