    Again. An auto-cutie who probably knows next to nothing about sport!

    What do you mean 'again'? All the female Sky Sports News presenters know their sport.

    I actually thought you were being ironic and was laughing with you. I would imagine they are not all airheads however I've definitely seen some who are obviously there for their boobies and hair.

    "I used to do girl-on-girl, but now I present with Andy Kerr" - Charlotte Jackson.

    Yeah, she was REALLY brought in for her sporting knowledge! :rolleyes:

    I didn't say they were brought in for their sporting knowledge, mister. I said they know their sport. Yes, they are given prominence because of their looks (although Olivia Godfrey is no looker) but they DO know their sport.

    They know their sport in the same way as they know how to read out loud from the autocue... :D

    Ok... They totally do. Girls who they've brought in from Loaded to read from an autocue are totally fully of sporting knowledge. :D:D:D

    The majority of girlies on that station are there because of looks, or because they have connections. Nothing else.

    You've not shown me how you know this though. You don't just walk into a presenting job at SSN, you have to do your training first. I know you wouldn't get near it unless you had a basic knowledge of most sports. Olivia Godfrey, for example, has been training for a long time.

    You have to train?... For a JOB??! :eek::eek:

    Where do you think they find girls like Charlotte Jackson? Down their local football team's ground, or through an agency that provides pretty faces?...

    Charlotte Jackson comes from a sporting background (former Lacrosse player), this is despite various modelling gigs and used to write for sports websites before getting into presenting.

    Natalie Sawyer comes from a broadcasting background.

    Rachel Wyse has presented sports related programming as well as being a former model.

    Rachel Brookes used to be a pop music DJ on Power FM (now Capital FM South Coast)

    Hayley McQueen despite having a footballing father, started out as a runner on Richard & Judy!

    That's brilliant! Charlotte Jackson comes from a sporting background because she's played a sport before! In that case, we ALL come from a sporting background! :D

    Charlotte Jackson, and others (the ones who seem to be more concerned with fashion and mag spreads usually being the ones) are there because they have nice boobs.

    Olivia Godfrey has been on Sky's training books for a while, and training with Sky Sports News obviously her first outing today.

    You're not getting it. I said they are indeed given prominence for their looks, but to say they have no sporting knowledge at all is rubbish.

    Every bloody SSN thread that is open turns into a distastful, who has the best boobs bimbo fest.

    Disgusting, disgraceful and completely undermining these female and male presenters who are there on merit.

    Ok. 1 or 2 presenters u can say in an elegant way "oh she's pretty etc" Like what woman may say a certain male presenter is handsome, big deal.

    No need to be degrading.

    There are female presenters on Sky News who could also be considered auto cuties, yet I haven't seen a thread on DS debating their journalistic style.
