We're still not proportionate to the population even then, there is no way if you took a sample of women from the country they'd be as objectively attractive, young, and healthy as the lionesses. If we truly want to be representative of the nation we need some players who travel to games using their bus pass and have no teeth of their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 24 August, 2023 Share Posted 24 August, 2023 (edited) 5 hours ago, Turkish said: Thoughts on this? For feminists they do seem to want men looking after them rather too much for my liking. “Here you are pet, go buy yourself something nice”. Surely they should be encouraging brand sponsorship from brands that sell predominantly to birds, there’s some massive companies that could get invoked & grow the game. Max Factor, Maybelline, Hello Fresh , Ann Summers, they could even hook up with Instagram or maybe run a Amazon “All or nothing” chick thing. They need to think outside the box instead of relying on the man’s game to continually give them handouts.

Far too narrow, needs to be distributed in terms of age, race, sexuality, religion, social class and disability if we are travelling down this bumpy road.

East Kent Saint Posted 26 August, 2023 Share Posted 26 August, 2023 It appears that this dispute between the Spanish Womens team has been going on for several years under different coaches . Their complains about treatment , sexism and homophobia have been overridden by the SFA who before the world cup froze out any player that didn't apologise for complaining and demanding a written apology from each player if they wanted to stay in the team.

Don't be a twat, my point was clear, but it's no surprise you don't understand it. Saying someone is being cancelled, usually means you think there is an over reaction going on.

Partly but if you look at the history and factor in the Spanish treatment of women even in recent times as well as the treatment of the women’s football team members under several coaches then it has come to a head . Most of the coaches of the women's team who were made to sit in the front row of his press conference have resigned .
