Cassie is just kinda bland/boring - the outrage is not proportional to that. She gets things wrong on first viewing live or first replay viewing - as do nearly every other colour commentator (often something looks one way through the first 2-3 replay angles until another view paints a different/definitive story) . I don't think she is very good at talking through those scenarios or clarifying the final result.
There are plenty of valid criticisms to make, but being just kinda 'below average' does not warrant the vitriol she gets. As has been said a thousand times, she is just better suited to intermission analysis.

Critiquing knowledge or voice or cadence is one thing....but the crap that goes out to her is another whole level. (Fair comment: she doesn't seem to know the difference between a benefactor and a beneficiary, and she has a few comments/phrases that she handily overuses. She can be a bit of a monotone. Unfair comment: almost everything else.)
It's so easy to mute the sound, whether TV or sound. Why not just do that?
Pretty much everyone here knows the players' numbers and what they're doing; turn it up when you actually NEED an explanation (weird call etc) and then re-mute.

Oh, I get it now.
My criticisms are legit and fair. Your criticisms are misogynistic and purely gender based.
I’m sure Cassie is subjected to a lot of sexist and misogynistic comments on twitter. But those idiots and troglodytes in no way take away from the legit criticisms she gets. Anyone who pretends that the amount of criticism is disproportionate to her awfulness has a short memory and is ignoring the hate Hughson, Kerr, Loubo and others got.
