What you’ve failed to realise there Willo is that in order for the female pundits to both know they’re supposed to show emotion, and to provoke this naturally, their male colleagues wave a new handbag in front of them when a goal goes in. Inevitably this can often cause over excitement and even hysteria.

There’s a woman now on MoTD who is either relatively new or I’ve lost all track of time. She usually does the smaller games (I always have Bournemouth in mind). She’s not bursting with personality but seems intelligent, amicable and knowledgeable of the game. That’s all I want really. Keep employing people for their sex, race or any other ridiculous/irrelevant parameter, and the quality will inevitably decline.

Ticket prices for women's football will make it more affordable for many.

""The average WSL salary is £47,000 a year, according to the BBC, compared with players in the Premier League, who earn an average of £8.2m.

Due to this low payment, some players are being “priced out” of playing professional football, due to the lack of opportunities. ""

47k pa is not a bad wage for kicking a ball around. Methinks the ES protests too much.

I expect there are plenty of people who would love to earn that salary.

Yep, like Hrolf and others have said and implied, it's a supported and overly promoted (in relation to its popularity) partly for the very reason that it is cheap and also because it supports 'progressive' politics.....which is what the entire system wants and supports....just as it did with the BLM stuff and all the virtue signaling.

What the actual average football supporter wants matters less and less.....It's similar to what has been going on in Hollywood and in other corporates.
