Suzanne Wrack :
Who says no f***ing chance? What is your point?
She finishes with :
I'm quite for the women's game (I remember a 680 post thread I started on the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada on the old IMDB Sports board. Covered all 52 games and got a good response from other posters. In fact, I recall Dr Krippen starting a new thread before the Final because there was a 680-700 post limit back then)
But I don't want the promotion of it shoved down my throat like this woman is trying to do.
At least (though probably not through choice but forced transparency) she acknowledged that the 39,000 attendance for Juventus Women v Fiorentina Women was non-paying as all tickets were given away free by Juventus. It still showed a healthy interest in the women's game but she needs to calm down or people will get sick of trumpeting whiners like herself. She seems quite bitter.
Journo broad : Don't like women's football? You can piss off.
Would any of the men playing professionally today be as technically gifted, as physically fit or as mentally prepared if they had had to wash kits like Alex Scott, fight fires full-time like Nicola Hobbs, go back to a homeless shelter after training like Fara Williams, cope with little to no medical or physio assistance for much of their careers, have had to essentially pay to play, or complete round-trips of six hours after work to attend training? No chance.
She finishes with :
And for those still wanting to bash: too much coverage? Turn off. Offended by the presence of an article? Don’t read it. Can’t cope with the word “women” being omitted from the team name in a headline above a big photo of women playing football? Ignore it. Want more coverage of non-league or minority sports? Campaign for it, but don’t do so at the expense of other sports on the assumption that only you, and what you want to watch, read or listen to, are the only thing that matters.
Feel the need to comment as such? Keep going. Because every click you give, every interaction you make, helps us, and others, justify the coverage.
