Womens Sport

[deevlash]

This is gonna be controversial....I was just talking to a pal about womens snow boarding and as far as we can tell theyre so rubbish compared to the men it not worth watching. Womens football is rubbish too and infact most womens sport is a sub standard version of the male equivalent so why is it given the same coverage on tv?

[RobDickinson]

Prehaps because an equal number of viewers are women and may prefer to watch women competing..?

[deevlash]

but its still a sub standard version of what the men are doing so should be given less coverage unless its for PC reasons

[Pulsatingstar]

Seems to me theres much less womens coverage, presumably because its normally rubbish!

[eccles]

you have to admit though, when it comes to beach volleyball, i know who i'd prefer to watch!

Figure skating.. tight lycra ..

Women's athletics is equally as good as men's I believe. Same is true of gymnastics, ice skating, swimming, rowing, equestrian sports, martial arts, to name just a few. I think that you need to broaden your outlook on sport.

GYmnastics is totally different for men and women, more emphasis on strength for the blokes etc, figure skating is dull either way, swimming is like the mens but a lot slower, same for rowing. Equestrian is all about the horse anyway and shouldnt be an olympic sport IMO and having done Judo for years can confidently say that womens martial arts is rubbish and a slower less aggresive version of the real thing

It's a bit cold tonight thanks.

yes women should stick to womons sports like mud wrestling, beach volleyball and topless darts (awaits a godd slapping)

[Jaglover]

The only good women's sports are where they combine sex appeal with sport. Ie Tennis, beach volleyball & Figure skating (there may be a few others I haven't thought of).

Compare the media profiles of women's tennis and women's football for example.

womens football has been huge in america ever since that woman whipped her top off when she scored in the world cup final...

Wouldn't bother me if there was no womens sport on TV at all. I much prefer watching a load of men running around in their shorts and bending over touching their toes. Don't you?

Yawn. How predictable. I was meaning that there was parity amongst some sports. I competed in Tae Kwon-Do and found the women's as interesting as the men's, but then it wasn't about aggression Anyway, judging from your other comments, I am wasting my time as your attitude is pretty narrow minded.

I dunno... angry Husbands can be scary

A world in athletic terms..

[Plotloss]

Boy should stick to boys sports like hockey, baseball and football. Girls should stick to girls sports like foxy boxing and hot oil wrestling...
