Popular Post daveAustin Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 I dunno, I certainly prefer to watch a bunch of fit birds running around the park than a bunch of overpaid namby pambie menchildren. ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Fully agree. German public TV being paid by forced fees (tax like) can't get enough of it. Must be ideologically driven by the "woke reeducation department" Recently, July 14: Tour de France cycling, Alpe d’Huez stage, the top cycling event of the year. Just after the top cyclists passed: cut and switch over to women football Italy - Island in German TV!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proton Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Womens football is getting better all the time, apart from a lot of the goalkeepers ???? Not so much cynical fouls or over reacting to tackles. Current English team is worth watching, more entertaining than the mens virtue signalling United! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2long Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Good luck to the girls for playing the sport. I have no problem with this, and I hope that they do well. HOWEVER, the OP seems correct in that they appear to be 'overdoing' the coverage somewhat. Now, in 2022, there are groups of society who get more attention than others. - these lives matter - these people need the whole month of June because of their life choices - this gender gets a day in the year for many activities There's not much we can do about it, sadly. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i understand that but thanks for pointing it out and trust me i'd never watch any of it. However any sports website you open up it's in your face, if you follow EPL then you'll understand what i'm on about with pundits, it's kinda rammed down your throat.

I'm sure there's not many grown adult men with a good knowledge of football watching the Euro's. There was recently one of the international A teams that played an under 15's boys team and got beat about 14-0 which shows the level of their skills ( or lack thereof ).

You're right we choose to watch what interests us but when it hogs the headlines on sports websites when there's other major events on is to be quite frank - total nonsense.

Popular Post SatEng Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 I, for one, am enjoying the current women's euros The players seems to be refreshingly down to earth, probably because they don't get paid the millions that the men do Great game last night - absolutely enthralling - I was up until after 4am watching it and it was a classic Looking forward to the semi-finals and rooting for England of course, but also hope to see Sweden and Netherlands go through 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I noticed you can't stand womens football, reminds me a few years ago when the girls teams at my daughters school were first starting out, they got a lot of similar abuse from the boys and it really zapped their confidence with some even leaving. The team coaches all ex professional UK players, one an ex Tottenham coach soon put a stop to it and got the boys onboard. They excelled after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've just shown outright sexism, no place in the world for that. Girls do play touch rugby and they also certainly take part in boxing especially Thai and kick boxing 15. You will not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, medical history, marriage, civil partnership, pregnancy, maternity, paternity, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other irrelevant factor.
