Don't waste your time with him. Clearly a "I haven't seen it so it isn't happening" type.

No.
...no? I don't randomly take photos of women and children playing football lol. Looks like you'll have to wait...bud.

Also we are getting better looking pundits than Alan Shearer.
I don't mind Shearer but Carragher would be the first on the chopping block. Closely followed by Merson, Rednapp and Mcmanaman

Better looking pundits..... Well let's throw millions down the drain for that!

The WSL is heavily subsidised by the men's game and will continue to be because the fans aren't there for it and the talent pool isn't there for it, throwing money at this problem isn't the answer.
McManaman does my head in. Carragher and Neville are class together, and TBF I'd have Neville as PM over any current candidate!
But yes, it is also nice to have the 'Beckham Effect' in reverse!

Its growing quite a lot, UEFA made more cash from the Euros than ever before because of bigger sponsorship, bigger viewing numbers and sold out stadiums.
Bearing in mind a top top womens footballer might earn 200k, a year, top men earn that in a week and your average womens super league player wage is 47k a year. Hopefully our lionesses(actually really loath that term
) make some good sponsorship cash now. 
There is a good case for improving things and "throwing money at it" imo and I expect the majority of people in the game would agree.

There’s something seriously wrong with you

What you quote me for??

I'm not sure what is so contentious. The womens games is massively subsidised by the mens game. Arsenal, the most successful womens football club made 9k profit last year. yes! 9k. Their revenue is something like 3.3 million for the year. It's the same with the WNBA as well over in America, the audience and stadium goers just arent there
Hopefully our lionesses(actually really loath that term
It will be like women tennis players, they'll earn more from endorsements than actually playing (which I don't have a problem with). Similar kinda thing happened 10 years ago, you had Jessica Ennis showing up all over the place and good luck to her because for the best in the world at what she did she was probably earning very little, might as well cash in while you are hot property.
This kind of caught me off guard though. Like I've been through all the emotions with the men's internationals and club games, I expected something perhaps not the same level but still to be more hyped than I was. Watching games on TV I've been fully behind the team, even before the tournament when there was much less hype around in the media etc. Part of me worries if maybe it's just a case of getting old or something, maybe England men win the world cup and I'd feel the same. I mean I'd say being there in the stadium seeing the trophy being lifted was less exhilarating than matches on TV that weren't even at finals like Germany 1 - 5 England in 2001.

Because that's not the media narrative!!!!!

media narrative, oh no its a MSM plot, best get over on Parler and let them know.

Is it? I think Klinick just popped in with some spurious claim. 20/30 years ago, he might have a point. It's certainly not the case anymore.

Peeps watch more mens sport than women. The reason given is poor coverage of womens sport.
That’s why they bang in about it. They think if the websites and news is saturated with it then everyone will go and buy a lioness shirt for £100 and get a sky subscription to watch arsenal ladies.
The fact no one does that for Dagenham and Redbridge seems to pass them by.
Apologies to the Dagenham supporter. There may be one.

That explains everything. Not one to stereotype but he ticks all the Chelsea fans boxes.

Give it a chance ffs. It has been badly underfunded for years. After what the FA did to women's football in banning it for 50 years you'd think they might be looking to make up for lost time because even after they lifted the ban they did **** all for decades to correct the damage they did. More sponsorship will come into the game over the next few years and more girls will take it up and so the quality will get better and better but it needs more coaches at grass roots and more clubs at grass roots and that takes money. There were 38k fans at the NLD in 2019 so clearly there are fans that want to watch it.
We've gone a long way from the main bone of contention, people undermining their achievement TBF.
Do I, currently, advocate equal pay? No, the woman's game isn't at a level, nor does it have the following to support it.
Hopefully it will. And days like that will help. I've teared up over football twice this year, one was Forest being back in the Prem after half my life away, the second was hearing and seeing the outpouring of emotion from players and commentators who were ex players over what it meant to be the best in Europe despite all the barriers they'd all had to overcome to get there.
