It is a creepy and predatory thing to say that has no place in any area of college athletics - even if it is a natural thing that men think.

It's not the thought itself that makes it bad. Most men have sexual thoughts about random women (or men; doesn't matter) - it's the lack of self-control and judgement that led him to think it was appropriate to say on a public broadcast that makes him a creepy frick

1 out of 2

It's creepy, but not predatory

All College Gymnasts are grown women, now if he said that about HS Gymnasts, then it's predatory

It is a creepy comment for a Pro Announcer to say on air

Honestly a lot of men do think it when they see college Gymnasts, "I wonder could she do that same manuver on my package", but they say it in private from their recliner

It's predatory in the sense that the women did not ask for the commentator to say that about them for the world to hear. They have no choice over who is commenting about them or what they are saying. It's one thing for randos on a forum to say it - it's another thing for a commentator paid by your athletic conference.

Thinking it and saying that for all of these girls parents to hear like your peddling their daughter for smut are 2 totally different things. He’s an idiot.

Agree with his sentiment, not his actually saying it.

I can also recognize that those girls are incredible athletes and pound for pound are the strongest and toughest athletes out there.

Looking at the gymnasts butts is one of those things all dudes do but not exactly the type of thing you're supposed to talk about live on the air if you're a professional.

Be better Pio

Firstly read his comment and tell me he doesn’t sound creepy.

Secondly, he is a professional, and comments like that could get anyone fired.

Thirdly, he is 40, they are 18-22, that’s weird.

The fact you don’t see the issue is unsettling .

What match was he cutting the promo on?

Step 2 is reviewing the respective rosters.

Step 3 is posting their Instagram pictures so we can render a better opinion.

We must axe ourselves " What would Larry Leo do?"

It was unprofessional and disrespectful.

Having said that, if the gender roles were reversed, everyone might think it was funny, even though it would still be wrong.

Took my girl to LSU Gym 101
Seeing what they do in person is amazing, tv doesn't do it justice
The athleticism on display is really impressive
