That's one take from it yes, although it's interesting that the FA felt the need to ban women outright from playing the game when other sports (cricket and tennis for example) did not suffer the same fate...
Just wait till Alex Scott takes over from Lineker on MOTD

Next year the BBC have committed to spending £8 million on rights to broadcast 18 WSL games. And £20 million for Champions League games.
Why did they pass up the opportunity to spend the £500,000 required to broadcast Championship, League One and Two highlights next season? That seems like a cheap price to me?

As others have said the BBC is a public service broadcaster and for the same reasons as Channel 4 should be retained as it is, it provides opportunities for programming, including sports.
The economic reality also comes into play. The beeb has been outbid by subscription tv for most high profile sports events with the exception of Wimbledon. It wants to show sports with a popular appeal and women's football is increasing in popularity exponentially.

Why is white shorts and periods taking the piss? Serious issue for many
I think the misogynists get a little bit embarrassed talking about periods there.
They think a natural function (and what is currently deemed a negative social consequence) is something that shouldn’t be under discussion for progression.
They get out of that by claiming the definition of “woke” is a lie and it really means being massively left wing or a Marxist.
Not that they know what Marxism means, like.
It’s all very convenient rather than them accepting the real truth that they are (usually) a massive bigot.

i'm quite enjoying the womens football during the euros actually
no grown men rolling around in agony over a tap on the shin
nice to see some different grounds as well
great result against norway

Not sure where the argument for not watching it because it’s not the best standard comes from. We’ve just spent 4 years getting 30k crowds every week to watch league 1 football.
This issue is clearly women playing football with some

TV's generally come with a remote control these days, and there's quite a few channels available, plus all the other stuff - no one is forced to watch BBC.
Can't see a problem tbh - if you like summat and it's on telly, then watch it - if you don't, then don't .
Similarly with this snobbery about not terming it as 'womens football' on the internet or wherever.
Why does it matter ?
Why should men's football have any sort of presidence over the women's game?

Woman's football is great, I hope my daughter starts playing when she's older. I hope England win the tournament.....but in no way is it on a par with men's football.
Why not? I will be intrigued by your reply. Surely it cannot be misogeny.

I agree with your last comment in particular. Probably because Womens' Football was banned at one time. Mens' football was banned in the Middle Ages to enforce Archery practice as well.
