She's not bad at what she does and I wish her good luck, and I'll be supportive of her position if all of the following steps have been taken.
Did she see an advert for a vacancy with Sky, apply with CV, interviewed with others and then perform well in her role.
Did a vacancy then arise within the Sky boxing team and was the post advertised. Did Miss Woolhouse apply, again submit her CV, was she interviewed with others and was she then offered the post after a successful performance.
If the answer to this is yes, great, well done, and all the best.
But what annoys me is this pressure to appoint females into posts on the grounds of equality, when in fact it's not equality , it's discrimination against equally competent men.
If she didn't go through this process then why was she chosen. I certainly would support female commentators/ presenters for female boxing, but why this need to appoint female presenters with no previous involvement in boxing.

Honestly this PC shït is a disgrace. The Martin Luther King speech contains the line that a person should be judged by the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin; a principle that seems to be lost in the modern political climate. Big media companies are employing people on the basis of serving an equality quota rather than who is best at the job. E4 even have a voice over guy with a fvcking speech impediment. He has 1 job and you can hardly make out a word the guy says.

I accept the the comments about male presenters getting their jobs probably under similar circumstances - good point well made.

The comment about an obese 'lady' getting the job, was made half in jest, but it makes a valid point. If female presenters are getting jobs on TV because they're attractive to predominately male viewers, how patronising is that to the female presenters, but does it make it any less true?

As I said at the start, if she got the job fair and square, no problem. But its time the 30 million males in the UK started to rattle a few cages.
