I took it as a compliment. Sorry that all of us are not South Park dorks doing a deep dive.

But what does the majority say? Is the majority aware of South Park references?

To compare her acumen in anyway to Cassie insults Cassie. Cassie paid her dues and got her reps in broadcasting for a lot longer.

Soapbox? Really? Pointing out what is obvious is not a soap box.

When I read what was written… I understood that what was conveyed was she is barely competent as broadcaster and being female is a bonus on her resume for reasons that have nothing to do with her broadcasting delivery and ability. Maybe it’s market appear, wider audience etc. etc.

She has a voice suited to singing the national anthem as much as broadcasting hockey.

Sorry, but not everyone is great and amazing at everything they attempt.

Does it mean she doesn’t have some interesting takes or insight? No.

What’s the cliche people use for great orators?

“I would pay to hear them read the phone book.”

As an orator she is the inverse.
