This is going to sound sexist and maybe it is a little bit. I mean...I miss the food old days of women just being sideline reporters. :mjlit:

How much do these women know about football or have an interest in football or is this just another way for the NFL to “appeal” to a broader audience.

Look at this story. Isn’t the color commentator supposed to b an ex athlete so HE can give some insight?

NPR Choice page

Hannah Storm and Andrea Kremer will become the first female announcing team to cover an NFL game this Thursday, with Amazon Prime Video offering the pair as an online alternative to the Fox broadcast crew of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.

"Teaming up with Hannah and Amazon for this is truly special," Kremer said in a news release. "Hannah is a brilliant journalist and she has been a friend for many years. With decades of experience as storytellers, we will be bringing a different voice and viewpoint to covering the game of football."

Thursday's game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings is the first of 11 games that Storm and Kremer will work this season.

Considering how popular this the NFL/ NBA have become in the media era of the 90s to early 2000s, most of these women grew up watching it with their bros and dad.

I haven’t seen a decrease in the amount of former players commenting. It’s just spread out across more networks over more hours.
