I can tell you exactly why:
- She gets stuff wrong
- She doesn't break down plays to tell me something I don't already know. Meaning - she just repeats what is showing on the screen, instead of offering new information or deeper understanding
- She gets stuck on a narrative that she thinks is the story of the game, often what she has tee'd up in the pre-game, regardless of if it actually is a story of the game or not.
There are valid reasons not to enjoy her as a commentator and saying that that it is misogyny is offensive and frankly is as bad as misogyny itself.
I have worked with female broadcasters, including in sports. I love that women are getting more opportunities, as they should.
But that doesn't mean they are above criticism when they aren't doing a good job.

I will say that Hrudey is almost same level bad as she is and sometimes he's worse. He doesn't face nearly the amount of criticism despite the fact he's been doing this much longer than Campbell and still isn't good at it.
