    They put tennis on TV for about 2 weeks solid in summer, often on both channels. I don't like tennis so I don't watch it. It's really easy.

    Absolutely not, in fact more the opposite. In the interests of equality we should include their games on our forums.

    Probably right about the standard. Why it gets any coverage baffles me.

    Wasn't it on the BBC today?

    If so then diversity, inclusion etc, etc would all take on a more prominent factor than viewing figures alone.

    Exactly that.

    It might be an uncomfortable truth for some but the BBC and the rest aren’t showing women’s football on merit, it hasn’t suddenly drastically improved to levels that are anywhere near the men’s professional game.

    It’s the British societal diversity agenda which has pushed women’s tortoise paced football onto the mainstream channels, and headlines of news regarding players nobody has heard of on the forefront of BBC Football’s website.

    I rest my case why the Womens game is pointless as a spectacle.
    Might as well watch Dog and Duck v Red Lion in the lowest mens league possible and it would be better standard.

    And furthermore, winning a game 20-0 is disrespectful to the opposition.
    Keeping your foot on the gas to absolutely embarrass the opposition is out of order and would never happen in the mens game.
    It’s ungentlemanly conduct.

    I just don't get it. The product is awful. It should be shown on BBC Three where those who want it will seek it out rather than having a massive impact on viewing figures with people switching to other channels. Let's have Love Actually shown instead, it's about the same length as a match plus needless build up and analysis, a whole lot more watchable and has some strong women in it.

    Bargain Hunt, which is a better watch than WSL

    It warrants being put on Main Event then? Seems like it’s being forced on people to me.

    What does it matter what channel it's on? I watch sky sports Arena a fair bit because I like Darts and I don't for one minute think about having a grumble because it's not on the main event channel instead.

    Like I said earlier, there's lots of channels and more than enough room for everything.

    You aren't. But how do you know others aren't?

    That's a very interesting statement. Who do you speak on behalf of?

    The broadcaster of the programmes, Sky?

    Sky's programme sponsors?

    Sky's advertisers?

    Sky's 13 million subscribers?

    The more you post, the more it appears you have an issue with women competing in professional football. It may come as a surprise to you that in the 21st century women also compete in many other sports and broadcasters even televise these sports.

    Don’t have an issue with them playing but it is no where near good enough to be broadcasted. Don’t forget an u15s boys team beat the USA national women’s team 5-1 and they are supposed to be the best in the world. So why is it being forced down our necks on the Sky main event channel ? One answer virtue signalling.
