Journalist Tina Nijkamp criticizes the quality of the NOS World Cup football commentary, describing it as incredibly boring. While the public discourse focused on the lack of diversity in the broadcasting team, Nijkamp finds that specific debate repetitive. The NOS had sent twelve men and only one woman to cover the tournament, a decision questioned by Henk Spaan and Roos Schlikker. In response, the NOS claimed that female sports journalists are difficult to find. Nijkamp acknowledges these points but suggests the conversation has become stagnant. Ultimately, she argues that the dullness of the commentary is a far more pressing issue.
