It's bad enough having the Jock Prem shite featured above the championship but today we have women's rubbish in there too.
Can't the BBC just have a girls section on their site.

You've opened a can of worms now, haven't you.

Worth a debate , trouble is being honest and saying ,"I find women's football tough to watch " will been ceased upon and called out as some form off misogyny .Quote:

It's promoted as much as its one of the few things the BBC can really afford to get involved in.
Ultimately however its the pinnacle of the women's game in this country and from an equal rights viewpoint it deserves attention and good luck to them.
It's an interesting debate and there isn't really any right answer on how much attention it should be afforded.
I have no real problem with it though, outside of when they clickbait me.

women's football...utter shit
I find it a pain in the arse that women's football is not distinguished from men's in some reports I see. Under 21, 23 etc is clearly distinguished, why shouldn't women's football be reported similarly? And yes, it's annoying to have to scroll down to the Championship past every European top flight in a British publication.Quote:

I probably wouldn't watch women's club football. But I quite enjoy the international tournaments. It probably helps that the USWNT does so well.Quote:

I have a feeling that, apart from sharing a changing room, very few on here would want to play for a women's team.Quote:

That is not the point at all, the problem is they are being purposely disingenuous regarding headlines to encourage clicks that they would otherwise not get.Quote:

It tends to be accompanied by photos of women playing football, which is a give away 😂Quote:

The beeb is there specifically for a broad spectrum and promoting unpopular things. Hence why the beeb has BBC4 full of arts even though it’s not totally popular, a welsh medium channel and thousands of other examples of fringe stuff. You may not like everything the Beeb does but it promotes pretty much everything and that’s why I love it. This includes women’s football that you don’t have to look at.
Secondly, women’s football is one of the biggest growing sports in the world. 20-30 years time it’ll be a different game to what it is now. Just have to embrace it unfortunately.
I get where the OP is coming from but my frustration is that it's not clearly marked as womens football.Quote:

Yes I understand that it's only 10 seconds of my life lost by instantly clicking back but am more frustrated at the BBC website than womens football.
EDIT: just went on the site and things are now clearly marked as womens football. Over the past few weeks they weren't and the WPL was marked as Premier League.
Fair enoughQuote:
