Erin Andrews Blasted As An Overrated Female Sideline Reporter Who Is ‘Eye Candy’ For ‘Neanderthals’


Erin Andrews has garnered a lot of fans in social media as part of the NFL broadcasting team at Fox and for her role in Dancing With The Stars. But with this popularity comes criticism, with some critics claiming she’s an “overrated” female sideline reporter.

In a related report by The Inquisitr, Erin Andrews will be replacing Pam Oliver on the NFL sidelines.

One of these critics is Kirk Minihane, who went on a rant against Andrews for her interview with St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright:

“What a b***h! I hate her! What a gutless b***h! Seriously, go away. Drop dead…. I hate her. I seriously hate her so much. Social media is the reason she has a big house! Shut up. Shut up. I shouldn’t call her a b***h, I’m sure she’s a nice person…”

Minihane went on to release an official apology for these words, but apparently the radio broadcaster is not alone in his thoughts.

Writing for the Washington Post, Jeff Pearlman first criticized Oliver for not using the job to become a celebrity, only to switch up his tone when discussing why Andrews gained the job:

“However, Pam Oliver is also 53. And African-American. She isn’t white and blonde and perky. These days, that’s what sideline reporters almost always are—blonde and perky. They’re eye candy for the neanderthals who need eye candy.”

Doug Robinson of the Deseret News was not quite as scathing in his critique of Erin Andrews’ job performance, although he did say the Wainwright interview should have been handled better. But overall, the tone was to belittle Andrews for her work:

“Who cares? She’s a sideline reporter, the most overrated, overhyped, superfluous job in sports. When is the last time a sideline reporter told you anything even mildly interesting or noteworthy? Their questions are often inane, the answers predictable.”

Of course, they’re forgetting when she managed to catching Richard Sherman breathing fire:
