Re: Souness

How about mixed football...now that might work and keep everyone happy...the refs could be transgender to keep a balance in the world.

It’s obviously more difficult in competitive contact sports due to mens physical advantages. It’s already in place in athletics, swimming, diving, tennis, badminton, ice skating, archery etc. without people having hysterics about the difference between the sexes.

Re: Souness

Fixed it for you.

Have you done a survey on that? I think most women I know who are rugby fans would rather read about the ongoing Rugby Championship or the forthcoming domestic seasons tbh. You also know this.

The BBC's job is to present the news, not read like a jehovahs witness pamphlet trying to convert us. It's the kind of thing that actually undermines the sports progress - as evidenced by this thread which contains much negativity, unlike the European CHampionships themselves.

Re: Souness

Can’t see both sides and present the balanced view on this one then?

Of course I can. On one side it's a chance to push a rather extreme agenda of equality and on the other is a sports website giving people the sports news they generally want to read.

I understand the argument, I just think it's rather ridiculous and probably counter-proudctive.

Re: Souness

A few stories about women’s rugby is pushing an extreme agenda. **** me you need to get out of the house.

The agenda is that both sports should be treated equally - mens and womens. That is rather extreme given the actual difference in popularity.

And yes, in the midst of the Rugby Championship and pre the URC and Premiership starting, it is very poor that the top three stories don't make reference to it.

Re: Souness

But both sports aren’t treated equally, men’s rugby gets massively more coverage. It’s just a few too stories on the bbc rugby union page ffs.

I’m not saying it’s the smartest way to run a website but if you see that and think “extreme agenda” I’d say you need to spend some time in the real world.

Sorry, but I think presenting both sports as being of equal interest to people is an extreme means to present equality in this respect. It's a way to piss people off, not garner interest in the womens game. I enjoy watching Wales womens 6N games btw - but not at the expense of reading about news from Cardiff RFC, or the Premiership or all the rest of it.

0.01 posts per day since May 2019, and then full metal jacket on this thread today. Has a nerve been touched?

That’s not describing two sides of an argument and finding a balance. Both points support your own opinion.
