Is Woman's Football an actual real sport ?

[tommye]

Good God no.

Women's tennis is dominated by one woman who is physically superior to all the others. She's brilliant like but it isn't a great watch.

Give me Nadal v Djokovic anyday.

isn't she very 'manly' in her build?

Discuss...... and show your workings out.

Yes mate.

Just because it's played by woman doesn't mean that football isn't a sport.

Bad sexism there.

I prefer women's tennis at Wimbledon than men's NEA.

The men's game has devolved into tosh on grass.

Same for football really.....

Aye. Defo shouldn't be equal pay either whoever said that, they aren't even comparable to men in terms of the overall quality of product. Female
Goalkeepers ffs

They're out there playing in a World Cup, which I suspect beats anything any of us have ever achieved in sport. Over in the fitness thread we have some fellas coming in saying they aren't as good as others or whatever, but it isn't about that, it's about being the best you can be. Are the girls in Canada doing that? I reckon they probably are, so what a bunch of blokes sat on their 'arris think is irrelevant

I've just quoted the parts that are actually relevant.

Physically women and men cannot compete, that is correct. They also cannot compete when it comes to skill. If you watch any sport objectively it's blatantly obvious that the male side of any sport is at a higher skill level, largely down to the fact that physical aptitude plays a huge part in it. I've never seen a female footballer come close to the world's best male footballer. Same can be said for Tennis. If you watch any major final you'll see shots being pulled off by men which are absolutely down to their superior skill level, not just the fact that they can serve faster.

Now perhaps you would argue that the reason for that is the historic inequality and pay gap in tennis. But i'd happily wager that in a hundred years from now that even with equal pay women's tennis will not be played at the same skill level as the men's game.

In any other place of employment you would expect a job to be filled directly based on the candidate's ability to perform the role being asked of them. Equality is about making sure that women are paid the same wage and given the same opportunity to progress as men, based on performance. If you pay women the same as men in spite of a noticeable difference in performance then that is clearly not equality.

And yes, there is not equality in the workplace, change 'would' to 'should' in my original post and the point remains the same, that you would expect a woman to be paid the same as a man if she performs to the same standard.

Do you actually know any women? I'm asking because your views are so out of touch with reality that they can't be based on experience. Mind you with your attitude, I'm sure the experience would be a very short one.
