Sports › Re: Do You Enjoy Female Commentators In Men's Football Games? by SixSeven(op): 11:20am On Feb 08*

A pundit once got into hot water for calling this observation out. Joey Barton, a former Premier League footballer and manager, sparked significant controversy and "got into hot water" in December 2023 for a series of social media posts claiming that women should not be involved in commentating or providing analysis on men's football.

https://www.tiktok.com/video/7537277571801550103
I will not go to the extent of Barton for analysis but I agreed with him. He called it woke and used some nasty words. Football is where men feel free, once you start having these unnecessary emotions in the game, I am afraid we will lose it to softness and unnecessary distractions. It's not to say men are perfect but I fear a day when in football, men will be afraid to unpack (not in a racist or abusive tone) how they objectively want to talk about issues.

About the fact that women are causing distractions in men's games, let me pull that out

Sports › Re: Do You Enjoy Female Commentators In Men's Football Games? by SixSeven(op): 11:10am On Feb 08*

I was watching this match highlight of Napoli vs Chelsea (not the Tiktok I shared here but on another platform) and I saw people complain about the weakness of the commentary. They said it's either the commentator was biased or they lacked passion. Bear in mind, there was a male and female. In the one I saw, the woman did not do justice to the fantastic goals that were scored. In fact, someone joked that you are better off listening to Arab commentary or Brazilians grin

Another one said that's why he mutes his TV and watches online match commentary on social media for people who have more passion for the game

https://www.tiktok.com/video/7600538737017539860

My response to the guy that called me a misogynist because of that comment

SixSeven:
I don't care. I don't enjoy it. I was watching Chelsea's recent match against Napoli and I also saw other people also say the same thing. I don't care about political correctness. Super Sports has some female anchors and analysts, no problem but I don't want them for the men's football commentary. Women will bring in unnecessary controversy and distractions to our game, then they will play victim. Watch how Ẹni Aluko blamed Ian Wright for preventing women from their own sports and dominating it. They will spoil the sports for us. Just last year, you saw those female presenters on the pitch wearing boobs revealing clothes, women know how to draw the attention to themselves, we don't need that

Sports › Do You Enjoy Female Commentators In Men's Football Games? by SixSeven(op): 11:05am On Feb 08*

I want to conduct a poll on this topic after my comment on the other thread about female commentators in football games. I do not enjoy it and I have been watching football for over 3 decades. I have also been listening to football commentary and analysis on radio, through SW to AM to FM and now podcasts and everything. During the days of livescores, I don't know if they still do that, women call it out. Women were always in the game but they never touched the live commentary part. I think due to the nature of the game and most audience being men, it was a sacrilege to disrupt what people heard. Someone called me a misogynist because of my comment.

I want to know, do you enjoy women's live commentary for men's games? This is just a statistical analysis of viewers' choice, no sentiments, no favoritism. Let's see what this sample size shows and maybe media organizations can learn from their consumers.

I'm trying to understand what the government's business is with the entertainment industry.

You don't understand the government's business with the entertainment industry huh

The US uses entertainment not only for influence in the world, but for national security. Inthe wake of World War II, the United States government transitioned from the overt propaganda of wartime to a sophisticated "Cultural Cold War" strategy, using entertainment as a primary tool of soft power. This effort was driven by a desire to counter Soviet influence and project an image of American freedom, diversity, and technological superiority to the rest of the world. Through agencies like the State Department and the newly formed CIA, the government became a silent partner in the arts, funding international tours for "Jazz Ambassadors" like Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie to showcase American cultural vibrancy. Behind the scenes, the CIA covertly bankrolled magazines and promoted Abstract Expressionist painters, using their avant-garde style as proof of the intellectual liberty found only in a democratic society.

Domestically, the relationship between the Pentagon and Hollywood formalized into a "military-entertainment complex." Please google this term to find out more about it. To secure the use of expensive military hardware, bases, and personnel for films, studios allowed the Department of Defense to vet scripts, ensuring that the armed forces were portrayed with prestige and heroism. Meanwhile, the creation of the United States Information Agency (USIA) turned the government into a prolific film producer in its own right, distributing thousands of documentaries and newsreels globally to "tell America’s story." By the mid-1960s, this commitment to cultural influence culminated in the establishment of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which institutionalized federal funding for the arts as a permanent pillar of American society, ensuring that entertainment remained a vital asset for both national identity and international diplomacy.

Every government that is serious gets involved in entertainment business. Let me give you another example. In Italy, the government passed a law about dubbing movies. Mussolini's regime banned foreign-language screenings and required local dubbing to ensure propaganda control. This established a long-standing industry standard to day. When you bring in movies to them, they must meet their own language requirements. They preserve their own language that way, they also create jobs for their people because if you want to sell in that market, you need to translate to Italia.

Entertainment is easy control the people and if the government is serious about it, they will invest heavily into it. Entertainment costs money, that's why it needs government support. I give it to our creatives for doing a lot without government's support which is actually GOVERNMENT NEGLIGENCE.

Once thing I notice about Nigerians is our never ending craze for external validation.

It has its positives and negatives. When you want us to keep forging ahead and never playing local, it is a good thing. In fact, I acknowledge it here

SixSeven:
Exactly. As much as I am disappointed in those guys begging for money and call out begging behaviour especially by officials at the airport and everywhere, what worries non-Nigerians is the confidence an average Nigerian has. It's unmistakable, it's undeniable and it's a sign of success. And you know success has enemies. If you doubt me, watch from 1:19:00 when this lady describes Nigerians and she reminds you that Lagos is not Nigeria and non-Nigerians can't understand our vibe. You can't give what you don't have, it's in us.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9Y8JU0ynac

One more thing is that while Nigerians can overdo, when it comes to competence, we can overdo too. We will call you out if you are faking it and that's a sign of excellence. When you want to keep doing well at what you do. Nigerians keep aiming higher, fight for international relevance and don't just play local. Nigerians are fighting for Grammy wey no be their own. They fight for film festivals that aren't theirs. A sign of greatness is when you don't rest on your oars. I am happy Mo recognized how the world system works and why Nigeria needs to focus on Nigeria and Africa. I miss our thought leaders of the 60s - 70s. Na wetin make Fela reconsider himself in the 70s after going through the American experience and understanding what Pan Africanism means.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG5XVSjFijc

Nigerians who live in Southern Africa can tell you how these people are. See, the world knows that once Nigeria gets its act together, the world will shake because Nigeria ably represents the power/threat of the black man. It's better to leave us confused with maladministration and disorganization. That's why I can't give up on the country. Its current state of affairs is a paradox of some kind because the country with highly intelligent people is being run by cowards and undeserving miscreants. When you are big, you are big, there's no time to be wasting on small issues.

Yes we are so amazing! Haibo, leave trash for LAWMA 🗑️

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmmHSbQ5ulY

But in the quote above, if you listen to Mo Abudu, I am glad she has now found out that we don't need any international validation, let's build our own. Now that's where government comes in. Unfortunately, the government has not made the people proud of these contributions. For instance, Nollywood practitioners complained about government neglect. It was not until 2014 when the government of Jonathan recognized them and the Minister of Finance, NoI included this sector in our GDP. Our government does not appreciate art, so invariably, people will go outside and work for those who will recognize them and their work. Unfortunately, you cannot tell a story if you are not the owner. Those international people are continuing a post colonial legacy of their own narrative of Africa and they will continue to be a gatekeeper for our own stories.

The other part for me is that Nigerians are fond of show off. So international is a bragging right. That's why we are crazy about Grammys, Emmys and all manners of awards that do not belong to us! shocked

Until the black ants have a leader, they will continue to remain confused. Write your own story and own it.
