 Topic: Are Women's Sports Worth Watching?
Posted: 18 Nov 2024 at 3:56pm |
Women want equal pay but most sports in which they participate do not have a huge following and are of inferior standard.
Some are enjoyable, golf, tennis, but make them play best of 5 sets at majors for equal prizemoney, athletics and a few others.
Some are terrible and will always be the undercard, inferior competition, AFL, League, soccer, boxing, UFC

The league girls play better football than the men.
And the Matildas are far more watchable than the Socceroos and draw bigger crowds.

I tell you what, Whale. Let's pay men and women what they are worth, bringing up children...
Men would be lucky to get a tenth of the pay women would get...
This is a stupid thread.

Women's track and field I find equally interesting to watch. Not sure why that is because it isn't the case for any other sport I can think of.

Maybe it's because of all the hermaphrodites and intersexers.

Not playing 5 sets is irrelevant. The ONLY factor we should be looking at is what revenue is generated. That’s what every other job bases their salary on. The fact is that men’s tennis makes way more money than women’s. It’s not even close. Thats why they get paid less overall.

Why do you always default to women having / bringing up kids
I mean it's not as if its a rare event for women.....its par for the course for the vast majority.
More men get killed in wars.......why not mention that occasionally
Deary me........monotonous !

If you're into segues and questionable analogies:
Many more women are murdered by men: why not mention that occasionally?

Just proves you cant read
I have only recently questioned on numerous occasions why we would soften / lift the lockdown laws in Sydney......knowing full well it can only increase DV
Next you will be accusing me again of never having had a conversation with Freefall a few years' back  |

I suppose people could post women's achievements in sport as they happen, shouldn't be too arduous a task as they are rare.
Women jockeys are pretty good though.

I'm not depressed? Just temporarily lacking in humour. 
My NFL team won, I thrashed my MALE opponent in fantasy. (I regularly win my fantasy games against male opponents). Men are not necessarily smarter than women.
Just because you find women's sport boring, doesn't mean others do. Though I usually turn off the AFLW when the Pies get thrashed. God, that team is awful.

Lockdown, a distant memory indeed and but a faint piece of the whole in relation to domestic abuse per se.
But happy to be shown where you numerously mentioned and expressed disgust at the disproportional reality of male against female DV. And in response to which will be only too prepared to provide my abject apology.

At least the jockeys ride for the same. Doesn't seem the same in other sports.
