chrisp65 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 nah, unfortunately it was a 'no phones' site - which sounds far more sinister or secretive than it really is there are just some sites where for one reason or another, mobile phones are vorbotten anyway, I'm still on a blackberry bold so picture quality isn't exactly awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 This article: https://tinyurl.com/p7zqmck I wonder how many women even know about Scudamore's comments. I wonder how many of those women were actually outraged. Then I wonder how many of those women actually do control the purse strings in their house. And I wonder how many, of those that do, are going to stop their blokes from watching any more football because of what Scudamore said. I'm guessing it will amount to 0.00000000000000000000001% of the PL's revenue. The writer also wins the award for the most pretentious sentence to pointlessly drop into an article! Did he really need to tell everyone how wonderfully middle class his area is!? In fact, I'm sure the other two hundred words were only there to pad out his thinly-veiled brag. Well said! Scudamore may have come across as a bit of a tit and he shouldn't have used his works email but there is no way he should have lost his job and thankfully that is the case. It was a bit of bravado and 'banter' with his mates on email, I do it. I say things I wouldn't say to people I don't know. Everyone does. I bet the outraged author has said something at some point in time that could be construed as sexist. People need to stop being so precious.

mjmooney Posted May 21, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2014 My wife was predictably outraged (but not surprised) by the Scudamore thing. But then she despises EVERYTHING to do with football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about it, the Premier League must now prove it is not sexist and so will inevitably hand over a few more millions to add to the £4.5m the FA donate to Women's football every year. Women know men are very bad but never bad enough to make their money unacceptable. Expect an announcement soon.

Indeed, they just dont see it, they think Farage is just like them, a pint and a fag. Salt of the earth, tell it like it is. He keeps his policies tightly under wraps so no one can go hold on, you are going to do what to the NHS?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely all for feminism but I will spare you the diatribe. I was merely pointing out that the mostly unquestioned and established expectation that men should in general always subsidise women, is as much an act of sexism as some old goat making jokes which objectify women. It seemed ironic that one is taken for granted, while the other is the cause of outrage. But admittedly, I know the subject is taboo, and so it was a bit daring.
