If your cock spurted blood for a few days every month, and there was a massive societal stigma about it, would you be happy running around in white shorts? Even that situation isn't comparable, as the blatant mysogyny in this thread already proves. Why does anyone give the slightest fuck about what colour shorts female footballers wear? "YOU HAVE TO WEAR WHITE!". Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty women live & breathe the men's game & follow their team week in week out Let's cut the crap , it's rubbish inferior version of the game we know and love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted July 12, 2022 Members Share Posted July 12, 2022 It will find it's level eventually. All the meddling and 'positive discrimination' in the world won't make it mainstream because it will always be second or even third rate. Simply an extension of the current overhyped desire to be seen to be 'doing the right thing' exhibited by media outlets and the legion of virtue signallers. You can't polish a turd but can roll it in glitter seems to fit the bill. Pleased the lasses won 8-0 as I had heard the Norwegian coach and one of their players telling the press what they were going to do to England. Watched a bit of it but gave up in the end.

Plenty men that are given the job because of their fame in the sport but are shite at running a radio show or TV programme. Balance a good female commentator or presenter with an experienced male pundit & it's a good balance.

Thing is, unless you have a vested interest in a non-league or a kids' team then nobody gives a shit about them. Just like women's football. What gets people's goat is when things like England's all time lead goalscorers are published and you've got both men and women's names in there combined. It just makes a mockery of it. The way the media are making out that the whole country cares about this tournament is a blatant lie. It ranks alongside England U-18 tournaments. Most folk have a passing interest and want them to do well, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
