Notes -
Why do I find it so heartbreaking that so many 2022 FIFA World Cup commentators and panelists are women? I have a hard time articulating my justifications for these feelings, but there’s a weight in my chest as if I’ve lost a close friend or just discovered that my lover is cheating on me. One of those ideas that’s like seasickness - you feel like you’re going to die and everyone else thinks it’s pathetic and funny.
This doesn't answer your question, but I think as the US and the world enter a recession, products and services are likely to return to prioritizing maximizing returns, which in FIFA's case may mean having more male commentators/panelists, assuming there are more of you willing to watch ads and spend money than viewers who prefer women in the same roles.
