is really starting to irritate me.
People are trying to put it on an equal footing as 'men's football' but it simply isnt.
Not in popularity, not in quality and not in any commercial way.
Just because women are playing the same sport as men does not mean that everything should be equal across the board.
i now read this....
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48535933
basically an article criticising FIFA of entrenched chauvinism because the prize money in the Womens World Cup is £24m compared to £315m of the mens.
Women's football may be a growth market but reason why their prize fund is way less is not because they are women per se, its because less people watch it, less people attend games, they pay less money to see it live and sponsorship is a fraction of the mans game. These figures reflect the commerciality of women's football.
Women's football is in its infancy. To suggest it should be recognised financially in anything like the same way as the mens game is beyond stupid....like making the case that the Womens FA National League should be getting the same prize money as the EPL teams.
The fact of the matter is that womens football is a minority sport. But as with so many things in the country, minorities (im not talking race here before people start getting all upset) are pushed forward, their influence and importance promoted at disproportionate levels.
Golf is a far bigger participation sport than womens football and yet outside of the majors, you rarely see a golf headline on the bbc sport page whereas womens club football is always being pushed.
Equality to me is treating and rewarding people fairly, depending on the level of their contribution, not on the basis of their gender or whatever. There remains a lot of prejudice in this world but i do not think it is helpful to be promoting the interest of minorities in such a disproportionate way. It will do nothing to stop prejudice, it may well make it worse.
Rant over

I don’t know how people have the time to watch women’s football as well as following the men’s game each week, I don’t have enough time and like people have said, it’s nowhere near as good.
I have nothing against women playing football professionally but I don’t like the women’s game being shoved at me constantly and the BBC are definitely pushing it way too hard.

This type of thing is inevitable in the inclusive society that we have allowed to evolve. Nobody knows their place any more. You can trace this nonsense right back to us giving them the vote and allowing them to drive. Nowadays you have women doctors and politicians. I’m not against it exactly, but there has to be limits.
Women’s football is a joke sport. I go to watch my local non league side about once a month, and genuinely the standard there is about the same as the women’s ‘professional’ game. They are forcing women pundits into the men’s game - and if we’re all honest we all stop listening as soon as they start talking and prob pick up our phones. I noticed on the BBC they have been referring to football as ‘men’s football’, as if the games are equal and we need that level of distinction. ‘Men’s football’ as they refer to it is the most popular global sport, with a long and rich history and endless iconic moments littering decade after decade. There is football, and there is women’s football. Don’t get me wrong I’m not against them playing the sport, but let’s not pretend it’s a real sport or anything other than a token gesture toward equality to keep the women’s lib brigade happy.
The problem is there are too many uppity women these days. Example: look how many young male footballers have double barrelled surnames now. That’s because the woman, his mum, thinks she’s above giving up her surname to her husband or if they are not married allowing the child to simply take the man’s surname. And there are too many pansies out there that allow this sort of insubordination.
I have always said that having a woman is like having a dog. If you want respect, discipline and obedience you need to lay down the law from day one. Problem is there are a lot of gutless weedy men these days. Or, men that are so desperate for a bunk up they fail to impose themselves on a relationship straight away, which sets the tone. If a puppy does well you reward it. If it misbehaves you punch it in the face. Now I’m not advocating woman beating, I’m not a monster and would never hit a woman unnecessarily. But you need to make sure early on they respect you as the breadwinner and master, and this will keep them tied to the home and raising your kids - where they should be, rather than having your kids raised by strangers for £15 an hour. I have always been careful to belittle and mock my wife’s dreams and ambitions from very early on, which has kept her in her place. If the husbands of the likes of Hope Solo took a firmer hand with their wives we wouldn’t have these kinds of problems.

Should’ve made that comment an article. Seems my sentiments have the full support of my peers.
