Mr Heliums Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 17 hours ago, RussellAnderson said: Would you say that professional women’s football being banned in England from 1921 to 1970 is chauvinist? That's a bit strong: professional women's football was never banned. The FA asked member clubs not to allow women's teams (all amateur) to use their grounds (and there are all sorts of suggested reasons for this, none of them justifiable nowadays). The women's game formed its own association (which collapsed) and continued playing at amateur level outside the FA until the 1970s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 As a modern forward thinking country, I think it is great that Scotland women get paid far more world cup prize money than the men. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 How much money do the US women's team generate for the USSF, and how much do the men generate?To be fair the US women will be making more from playing in France than their male compatriots did from sitting on their arses watching last years World Cup on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly an effective ban if women continued playing and even formed their own association to promote it. The FA absolutely did not want to support women's football. That's undeniable. But they did not ban it and had no power to do do. Edited June 16, 2019 by Mr Heliums 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 This point really isn't the point to be arguing about... Especially in the context of the Global game. Hope Solo lives in a country where women’s football is a relatively big deal and the men’s game is relatively small so her assertion may, in part, be due to a similar lack of perspective 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Quite something to see some men so reliant on the patriarchy that they feel they have to scramble to defend it on every front. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
