Tegan Higginbotham

[Moody Blue]

Love watching Tegan Higginbotham. She's funny. A shame that most of you don't get her jokes.

Yep she did a great job during the friendly between Sydney City & Liverpool. She has no idea and is being forced upon viewers. I am not interested in what a ABC wanna be has to say.

[Billy ray]

Absolutely

 

[SmAshmoto]

Why are all her facial features sitting exclusively on the bottom third of her head?

 

[Dogs Rule]

Absolutely

Drove me nuts tonight.

'To so and so for blah blah, turn it up!'

'Absolutely, absolutely.'

Every single bloody time.

She's a comedian, but she ain't funny. Ever. I don't get it.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Well she doesn't hinder the boys banter at all like Bec does on TFS. She's alright, give me her over Lynch or that cricketer.

I think the bar for footy knowledge for women is set quite low if she is getting a gig.

Other females on fox actually know the game. I know her role is kind of different, but I'm still unsure of what her apparent strengths are

You're right. I'm all for getting women involved on footy shows and Neroli Meadows and Sarah Jones are sensational, but don't just throw a woman onto a show for the sake of it.

 

[Kram]

She's very ordinary.

The Brad Scott skit was a train wreck.

Looks like a talking pug

Hahaha you've described her perfectly.

Nice sexism, champ

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Nice sexism, champ

Why because she's a woman? Robbo looks like a walking talking pig hutchy Jabba the Hutt. No one says s**t but one thing about a woman it's the end of the world

Lol nice try attempting to cover it up with that weak effort. Too late for that.

When the show first started it was pig, spud, mike Sheehan most weeks and brownless. The show was great it was a good piss take. Than they brought in Fleming and it was still great. Then it went downhill when gaze came on board and then the real bounce Australia fiasco turned it into a train wreck. Bringing in token comedians has made it worse.

Mate I couldn't give a flying * what you think

Whilst it may not have been the most flattering observation (depends if you like pugs or not, and who doesn't?). The comment didn't show any sexism as there was no prejudice or discrimination based on her gender at all.

 

[Dixie Normous]

She looks like Bernard Sumner from New Order if he had dwarfism.

Sexist!

Clearly more Joy Division era in terms of the smile.

I watched a clip of her and she wasn't that annoying, at least not as much as I imagined from reading this thread. She seems to be a self-proclaimed pop culture expert or something - in other words, a complete nerd/dork. She's probably a nice person but her name stinks. It sounds like a Harry Potter character or the name of some dork in a progrock band.

I have no idea who she is. But the Liverpool v Sydney football match on the ABC which she was one of the hosts was arguably the worst broadcast in history.

Men don't get judged on their appearance anywhere near as much as women if at all. What does her appearance have to do with if she is any good or not?

What does her appearance have to do whether she is good or not? Well, TV is a visual medium so whether she is male or female it will have a small effect in terms of the viewers.

As for sexism...again, you have shown zero semblance in terms of the post being sexist. I am not saying that men and women are equal in the media in terms of representation. I am only stating that you accused a poster of being sexist when there was no actual statements based on sexism.
