The club’s financials have been released and as one would expect the business was hit hard by the pandemic’s early phase where there were no games and then further hurt by games, but without fans. As things progress, it would appear that the club is looking to invest further infrastructure, this time in women’s football.
I note that I have already been branded a misogynist by one viewer, which is regrettable, but an indicator of the deeply concerning times in which we live. I have tried watching the women’s game, and it doesn’t work for me. Maybe it is the lower female centre of gravity, but it isn’t a sport that I’ve been able to enjoy.
I forgot about the women in the 30s there is a good doc on them somewhere. It is sad though. Good point James it would be a very different game, to think that was nearly a hundred years ago as well.
Women in mma though.. The pros in the UFC haven’t been around as long as the football, but they are wonderful to watch. Technical ability, power, speed, the fights can be as good as the mens… You can’t say the same about womens football.. It’s a bit like women driving. Some can pull it off with a bit of luck but they seem strangely discombobulated. The vast majority struggle to reverse… They have similar problems trying to play football.. Lol.. Fair play for watching them though.
Punts? Did I mishear?
I enjoyed the last women’s World Cup. My counter argument to the quality of the play is that women’s football was huge and thriving in the twenties and thirties with huge gates, fifty thousand and over
Then the well known football lovers the FA stepped and banned women’s football. So if the game had been allowed to develop from the thirties on to now we would be looking at a very different game.
Always thinking ahead the old FA opposed to the World Cup, opposed to the European Cup, and other European competitions. Opposed to Televised games.
It’s a strange one because women in the UFC are great to watch… But womens football is at a terrible standard. It is literally like watching kids, but slower. It makes me laugh because they can’t play football,but they can fight alright.
