why are there so many sideline reporters that are women? and why are 90% of them kinda hot? not that i am complaining but just a little curious.

I think you answered your own question. It is all about marketing my man.

Beats the heck out of Roseanne Barr and Rosie O'Donald on the sidelines.

It's all for ratings no matter how dumb the girls are!!!!

I'm of a different opinion, actually. They either need to be really good looking or at least sound like they know what they are talking about. This half-hot, half-smart thing doesn't work for me. Give me one or the other. Preferably hot, cuz I can't remember a sideline reporter that actually did anything worth reporting, other than the injury updates.

It's backwards marketing though. Men are going to watch football no matter who is doing the sideline reporting. Having hot sideline reporters doesnt hurt, but if they still had Lynn Swan (for example) doing it, I dont think we'd all be watching Sit Coms instead of football.

You'd figure they would try and target people that dont already watch football, ie women. Maybe they are doing it to reward us men that have been loyal watchers or so long, and I wont argue with that at all

The sidelines and field are places where the coaches and players are incredibly intense and usually very focused on the object at hand. As a result, players and coaches are likely to speak brashly and act less civilized than normal during in-game interviews. Therefore, by putting women on the sidelines, the networks are more likely to keep the interviewees on their toes and respectful with their answers in front of a national tv audience.

Where's the fun in that? I wanna hear a coach say "That SOB is holdin' my end every time they run a sweep!" Where's Woody Hayes layin' the beat down on a player when you need it?

I think it is in the play-by-play announcers contract that they get to travel with a babe
