This is a good article.

its misleading it was never bigger than the mens game at any stage... It was big during the war because there was no mens game. as soon as the war ended mens game was back to being the most popular again.
Some of the comments on this thread are proving perfectly why it was such a big deal for the women's team and why it is being righty applauded.
They've had to put up with misogynistic comments from the likes of Sandy all their careers so I love the fact they're sticking two fingers up to the likes of him. These prejudice views need to stop and hopefully these will die out with Sandy's generation.
When did men get so scared of girls? It's embarrassing.
“Towards the end of 1921, the FA made the shock move of effectively banning mainstream women’s football. In a meeting, their members cited “complaints having been made as to football being played by women”, and claimed that “the game of football is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged”. The women’s teams were no longer permitted to play on official FA grounds, bringing this golden era of women’s football to a crushing end.“
This is a bit disgusting tbh. But I’m sure you raging misogynists would enjoy it though.

The article seems poorly written and researched, as with most things these days you have to look at a few sources to find where the truth is not the propaganda.
Basically it was due to their being no men's football due to the war that the women's rose in popularity, the first article didn't mention that

Worth reminding people that post war, the womens game was more popular than the mens game, so the government banned womens football.
So if I were a woman, I’d feel pretty bitter about the gap in wages and I’d be looking for some manual overriding to level things up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Very doubt if that is true Winston. I know Spurs were getting 70,000 crowds in the old 2nd division post war, don`t know of any women`s team ever get anywhere near those sort of crowds. Unless you can tell me otherwise.

This is also in the historical context of the political drive for women’s suffrage. English football’s governing bodies would remain famously conservative and racist for many decades thereafter. No challenge could be accepted to superiority of the white Anglo male. It’s the same mindset that led to the refusal to enter the early World Cups and the inaugural European Cup, as well as the effort to keep Apartheid South Africa in the football fold and other blemishes on England’s football authorities.

The semantics of the numbers are largely irrelevant.
The key detail is that women were attracting tens of thousands of people to watch and then the authorities banned it.
Who knows where the womens game would be now if that didn’t happen?

So not liking women`s football is now mysoginistic? I also don`t like men`s netball.
The reason I don`t like women`s football is because it is rubbish, absolutely nothing to me actually not liking women. The modern generation are so touchy.

100 per cent correct. It is just an article written about football during and around the 1st world war, where the women pulled in a crowd at ONE game. That did not in any way make it bigger than the men`s game at the time. I think there was a crowd of somewhere aroundabout 113,000 for a men`s match aroundabout the same era. The crowd for the women`s match was mentioned as 50,000 plus thousand. How does that make the women`s game bigger?

A one off crowd with tickets being given away for nothing means nothing. Do Barcelona women get those crowds every week? The answer is no. I doubt they get more than a couple of thousand.

you made a point that was not correct and when it was pointed out to you you tried to say it doesnt matter, nevermind the truth in other words as it weakens my argument

Nice try Sandy. Your true colours are there for all to see so don't try to pretend otherwise. If you simply don't like it, then why bother commenting on it? Why use words such as "loath"? Why are you sick of the coverage and having it "rammed down your throat" if you simply don't like it? Just ignore it if it bothers you so much.
The only touchy generation is yours. We're all very comfortable with an inclusive society and if Women's football is getting some of the limelight, good for them, It's not like it's distracting you from men's football is it?

This is a bit disgusting tbh. But I’m sure you raging misogynists would enjoy it though.

Worth reminding people that post war, the womens game was more popular than the mens game, so the government banned womens football.
So if I were a woman, I’d feel pretty bitter about the gap in wages and I’d be looking for some manual overriding to level things up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Very doubt if that is true Winston. I know Spurs were getting 70,000 crowds in the old 2nd division post war, don`t know of any women`s team ever get anywhere near those sort of crowds. Unless you can tell me otherwise.

This is also in the historical context of the political drive for women’s suffrage. English football’s governing bodies would remain famously conservative and racist for many decades thereafter. No challenge could be accepted to superiority of the white Anglo male. It’s the same mindset that led to the refusal to enter the early World Cups and the inaugural European Cup, as well as the effort to keep Apartheid South Africa in the football fold and other blemishes on England’s football authorities.

This is a good article.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
its misleading it was never bigger than the mens game at any stage... It was big during the war because there was no mens game. as soon as the war ended mens game was back to being the most popular again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The semantics of the numbers are largely irrelevant.
The key detail is that women were attracting tens of thousands of people to watch and then the authorities banned it.
Who knows where the womens game would be now if that didn’t happen?

Worth reminding people that post war, the womens game was more popular than the mens game, so the government banned womens football.
So if I were a woman, I’d feel pretty bitter about the gap in wages and I’d be looking for some manual overriding to level things up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Very doubt if that is true Winston. I know Spurs were getting 70,000 crowds in the old 2nd division post war, don`t know of any women`s team ever get anywhere near those sort of crowds. Unless you can tell me otherwise.

I did and it was never popular than men's football

Some of the comments on this thread are proving perfectly why it was such a big deal for the women's team and why it is being righty applauded.
They've had to put up with misogynistic comments from the likes of Sandy all their careers so I love the fact they're sticking two fingers up to the likes of him. These prejudice views need to stop and hopefully these will die out with Sandy's generation.
When did men get so scared of girls? It's embarrassing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So not liking women`s football is now mysoginistic? I also don`t like men`s netball.
The reason I don`t like women`s football is because it is rubbish, absolutely nothing to me actually not liking women. The modern generation are so touchy.

The article seems poorly written and researched, as with most things these days you have to look at a few sources to find where the truth is not the propaganda.
Basically it was due to their being no men's football due to the war that the women's rose in popularity, the first article didn't mention that

There’s a whole paragraph dedicated to men going off for war. Didn’t think it would be hard to miss.

100 per cent correct. It is just an article written about football during and around the 1st world war, where the women pulled in a crowd at ONE game. That did not in any way make it bigger than the men`s game at the time. I think there was a crowd of somewhere aroundabout 113,000 for a men`s match aroundabout the same era. The crowd for the women`s match was mentioned as 50,000 plus thousand. How does that make the women`s game bigger?

I think you’re getting hung up on whether it was bigger.
Does it matter?
The point is it was big. And then it was banned.
And here we are.

i didnt say they missed it ... just sayin its misleading it was never "bigger" than the mens game. there was no mens game to compare it to. throughout history when you compare the two the womens game was never more popular than the mens.
the womens game is getting better and more popular but lets not make up incorrect scenarios where you thnk it was ever more popular than the mens game... it iwll never be more popular than the mens game.

A one off crowd with tickets being given away for nothing means nothing. Do Barcelona women get those crowds every week? The answer is no. I doubt they get more than a couple of thousand.

because it was incorrect and when it was called out you tried to say
"I think you’re getting hung up on whether it was bigger.
Does it matter?
The point is it was big. And then it was banned."
you made a point that was not correct and when it was pointed out to you you tried to say it doesnt matter, nevermind the truth in other words as it weakens my argument

They've had to put up with misogynistic comments from the likes of Sandy all their careers so I love the fact they're sticking two fingers up to the likes of him. These prejudice views need to stop and hopefully these will die out with Sandy's generation.
When did men get so scared of girls? It's embarrassing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So not liking women`s football is now mysoginistic? I also don`t like men`s netball.
The reason I don`t like women`s football is because it is rubbish, absolutely nothing to me actually not liking women. The modern generation are so touchy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nice try Sandy. Your true colours are there for all to see so don't try to pretend otherwise. If you simply don't like it, then why bother commenting on it? Why use words such as "loath"? Why are you sick of the coverage and having it "rammed down your throat" if you simply don't like it? Just ignore it if it bothers you so much.
The only touchy generation is yours. We're all very comfortable with an inclusive society and if Women's football is getting some of the limelight, good for them, It's not like it's distracting you from men's football is it?
