    Men's sport in general attracts a far bigger fan base, generates more sponsorship and imo is far more entertaining and enjoyable. That's not to say some sports women are better at and is more woman dominated, like beach volleyball for example!:smoke:

    However, the fact of the matter remains that men are generally better than women at sport and as a punter, you usually want to watch the best. Some sports have tried to mix men with women: snooker and darts. Ok, not the most physical, but nevertheless, a high degree of skill is required. Dobramislova has done ok in the darts, but is nowhere near as good as the men. Women are allowed to compete with men in snooker but can't even get past the qualifiers, so what's the point.

    I am in no way sayin women cant play, but it men are simply better so why should they get the same pay?

    Although, as it's for your country, I can see the argument, but still, this equal pay * has gone a bit too far.

    Laughable but not surprising given the direction the world seems to be going in.

    It doesn't bother me as long as they don't start shoving womens football down our throat I don't mind. It's * and anyone that say otherwise is lying their * of. The only women sports I can watch is tennis and mma but only at elite level, but football and boxing even at womens elite level is utter *.

    It a is a nonsense. I feel it hard to care but it feels like you cannot avoid womens football given the amount of effort the bbc spend trying to force you to like it. It is garbage.

    So long as it is payment generated from their own income. Batter in and pay what ever the * you want.


    But if it's money that is generated from the men's game, then that ain't fair.

    Are the men getting paid less than before? If not then I don't see an issue
