Some people were not happy for the musician because they felt that she is undeserving and bagged the presenting job just because she is “Pabi Cooper.” Others however, were extremely happy for her and flooded her comments section with excitement, love and congratulatory messages.
Congratulations to Pabi Cooper for bagging the sports presenting gig. She does have four years of experience playing soccer and is a prof ref so she is deserving of the job. pic.twitter.com/ZpDSXxBTcQ
