Amazing how we have a thread like this in 2022. Of course its driven by those free speech contributors on GB News and the like.

it’s utter bullshit but that’s what divide and rule is all about.

being woke is used as an insult, despite being for equality and anti racism.

do all these people who are antI woke, want less equality and more racism? It’s a simple question, which I expect to go unanswered

This might not go down too well but why are the BBC pushing this sport down our throats on their main channel?
Unbelievable the coverage for this minority sport.

I love it me like.

Every tournament the quality gets better. I enjoy seeing the progression.

But that's maybe because I just like Association Football and think it's the best game on the planet because everyone can join in and you don't have to be a posh twat who's parents are a member of a fancy club to take part.

(Same applies to boxing)

It wasn’t. Womens football is growing. It will happen and I can’t remember the current Wembley capacity but it will be full in a few weeks time

I know Patriots hate a lot of things that people are very relaxed about so I understand your problem with this

It's a novelty tournament to and I want the women to win thats for sure. Meanwhile in the real world we probably had a bigger attendance for the friendly the other day in Portugal than the average women's league attendance last season.

It's a world cup so it's on TV as I would expect.

However, on a separate note...I have the Athletic and I follow Sunderland, la Liga, The Premier League, Championship, Series A and the SPL but I still get loads of articles for the Women's England team on my feed even though I'm not subscribed to it. There was an article about white shorts and period the other day (I'm not taking the piss). Got no issues with women football but just not my cup of tea so not sure why I'm getting it when I'm not subscribed?

Probably because you don't only see articles from your subscriptions. They'll have pieces they push out to everyone. Not just on white shorts but that's one you noticed.

Not sure anyone would think you were taking the piss, I've seen a few articles about it online. Makes sense, and not something I'd have considered an issue. But that's the point of it being written about.

How can something be ‘equally worse’? Thing is, now the boot is somewhat on the other foot, the misogynists and Neanderthals don’t like it much do they. When you’re lived a privileged existence not having to worry about racism, sexism or homophobia, equality feels like discrimination.

And which women footballers are asking for equal pay to men anyways?

I’m not going to do your Bobby basic internet research for you. Some national teams are rightfully paying equal wages. My point is at club level….’week to week‘ club matches. Ok Mr Moral High Ground…why do Sunderland AFC male players get paid more than their female counterparts?

Just checked and I doubt it very much.

I'm not suggesting that women club footballers get paid the same as their male counterparts, I was asking you who was campaigning for it.

As we live in a capitalist society, it stands to reason that men are going to get paid more as their game generates far, far more money.

You do on your feed. The front page tab has all the other stuff on to flick through. That's the whole point in the subscribed feed. Loads of people will have thought I was taking the piss, mind. Proper stereotypical way of thinking for the misogynists.

Currently, in the more for you is a story with Cristian Girelli, Sophia Smith impressing for USWNT, Miedema drops deep to help Netherlands, then the normal stuff I follow which is absolutely Ten Haag heavy at the minute which I also have no interest in but I do subscribe to the PL.
