Well, no I don't say it to sound PC and modern, I say it because that's what I believe. I've never paid to watch women's football no, but I've watched a fair bit in NZ where it has a higher profile. Ironically in NZ, men's football is seen as a "girly" sport for men who are too weak for rugby and not skillful enough for cricket. For me, there is no issue in saying you don't like watching women's football because you think it's crap. That's the same as saying short mat bowls is crap. The offensive part is when you say women have no coordination or technique because not only is that complete rubbish, it's also based on a prejudiced opinion.

Yep let's leave it!

I think if women want to play football then good luck to them. The analogy to Hockey I don't get as women/girls are just as skill full as the men and a lot more interesting to watch!

On the subject of Forest Ladies, I thought that the club was supporting them with strip, balls and pitches etc, as they were close to folding a couple of seasons ago?

Caniggia,

Not liking something does NOT make you a sexist. .
It is the difference between opinions and actions.

Also the fact that I prefer relations with women to men doesn't make me a homophobe.FYI

You're either very thick TtiT or you've completely misread what I said. I'm going to assume the latter. I didn't say once that not liking women's football was sexist. It was saying that all women footballers lack coordination and technique which is a sweeping generalisation and is offensive.

The fact that you prefer women to men has nothing to do with this debate and is frankly a ridiculous point but I assume it was a joke?

Caniggia,

Fair enough. I should've read your comments a bit closer. And the last bit was a bad joke. But women's football is still rubbish.

Ah fair enough and I apologise for the spikey response!
