Smiley Culture Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/blog/2020/feb/06/championship-wider-audience-football-league There’s a load more women working in Football these days, I know some old fashioned, backwards types think they don’t deserve to be working in the industry and micro analyse every word they say or type but there are some good women out there working in Football and daft stuff like this gives them a collective bad name. ”Does League Two need to be professional?” was a particularly hilarious line. Someone has paid her for this and someone has gone “yeah, let’s publish this”. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted February 7, 2020 Administrator Share Posted February 7, 2020 Wow. Delusional indeed. Bit of an insult to League Two as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I saw this article and didn't even both. Such a stupid concept that I was certain the author couldn't really have even a decent point to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I totally agree with her. Get Leeds out and stick them in the Premier League seeing as she tried to use us in her arguement with at least three examples. Only way we will get there anyway Obviously it's a load of bollocks. I get what she is trying to say about the Championship building up to be quite a force amongst other leagues, but she's going about it all wrong. Yorkie, it's not for her.

I consider myself to watch a lot of football, and there are few leagues as entertaining as the Championships. Maybe doesn't have the stars and names that the EPL has, but you rarely have teams run away with the league and it's always a battle for promotion and to avoid relegation.

Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted February 8, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 8, 2020 Her comments about League Two were just ridiculous. There are some fantastic footballers in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would only give women a bad name with people who are already sexist. No woman should hold back from freedom of speech just because of them. Louise Taylor has been North East football reporter for the Guardian for at least a decade if not two. One of the most experienced football journalists in the game. I've seen the mackem Newcastle hater at St James' Park a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she’s as experienced as you claim, she’d know that she was penning a car crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mistake journalistic experience for the desire to be seen as saying the right thing. Online opinion pieces in this era are all about provocation in order to generate clicks, traffic and resulting revenue. The easiest way to make money is rile people up so they share it. You sharing the article on here alone has probably generated a dozen hits to the Guardians ad covered website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Micro analysing the potential for sexist rhetoric regarding women in football is as useful as the men involved micro analysing a woman’s article for their own agenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The gender dichotomy is boring. I think we should be judged on the length of one's toe-hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
