Absolutely nowt wrong at all. I don't follow it (loved the Euros though).Is it wrong not to have any interest in women’s football? I confess that I turn Football Focus off when they move on to the women‘s slot.
I have no problem at all with it being featured but I have zero interest. I feel the same about swimming, diving, golf or cricket, be it male or female
NSC is pretty judgmental these days imo, why does the OP need to like women’s football? (Even if he is a Palace troll)
Folk follow what they like. But starting threads to moan about it, just because they don't like it, is a different level.
I thought you like cricket ? (I can't stand golf meself)

There are many things on the TV that I am not interested in, I wouldn't dream of suggesting they segregate them though. Just turn over , make a cup of tea or do something selse while those segments are on.
Nothing to do with political leanings, just an understanding that news broadcasts are not solely aimed at me.
"But I don't f***ing want guitar lessons"
They should do a warning like with flash photography.
Don't think it comes down to if people are liberal or not.
Just think most here have reached a stage in their life we're they feel quite comfortable in their masculinity without needing to prove it by screaming for a policeman when there's women playing football on TV.
A lot of people are not interested. They watch or do something else and get on with their lives. A small number of people, like you, feel threatened and offended and turn into a modern day Mary Whitehouse in a last ditch attempt to preserve the past.

"careful now, the next segment may contain women playing sport (not like cleaning or anything, actual women playing actual sport) please join us again in 15 minutes when fat blokes will be playing darts and you can return to your safe space imagining it is still 1976"

Are you really Swedish? How the f*** do you know about Mary Whitehouse? Next you’ll be referencing Barbrara Woodhouse
I was about to post the same. I'm half expecting him to suggest the OP write to Barry Took on Points of View.Are you really Swedish? How the f*** do you know about Mary Whitehouse? Next you’ll be referencing Barbrara Woodhouse

Because I'm a catch-all nerd. Not sure but I'd say most likely I initially learned about her through this Wiki article:
BBC controversies - Wikipedia
Followed by a clean and jerk?

I don't mind the coverage but what really grinds my gears is Albion putting the next game on the banner at the top of their website, not easily specifying (at least on the mobile version) whether the game is for the women's team or the men's team. I thought we were bloody playing Man City the other day due to that, only to then realise it was the women's team.

Not about being judgemental though I don't think - just pointing out the bleeding obvious - don't watch it or do something else while they focus on sports he doesn't like?!Is it wrong not to have any interest in women’s football? I confess that I turn Football Focus off when they move on to the women‘s slot.
