It's not so much political, as it is sexual.
There are a lot of things said by one gender to or about another gender that will kill you career.
This is just one of those in question.
had a female announcer said the vaery same thing, most likely noting would happen to her. "However" had a female announcer said the very same thing about a male tennis player, would there be the same effect?....most likely not.
Men...are use to the callouseness of the world and accept it.
Women do not.
(for instance....He's uglier than my dog.....A guy would let it slide)
(for instance....She's uglier than my dog....Expect a serious fight on your hands)
