Cannot stand the above as footballers or boxing. It doesn't become them. All men to me

[bednobs]

but jj, they speak so highly of you!

[jennyjoan]

who speaks highly of me Bednobs - I really want to know. Cos I had 4 bros and a daddy - don't recall them speaking highly of me. Only when I grew up and lent them a few bob.

Oh dear, as a female who couldn’t stand netball or any other girly sport then I will be a bitter disappointment to you Jenny as I referee football ( would have loved the opportunity to play as a child) and have rowed in boats for many years. Each to their own, girls football is becoming more and more popular and good luck to all those who participate. If anyone wishes to participate in a sport then it should be welcomed, we have far too high a level of obesity and general lack of fitness as a nation.

campbell - I am really only talking about the boxing and football - know all about netball etc and gymnastics as I was a pretty fit person - in my day LOL

I struggle to understand what lady would take the risk of getting a broken nose or cauliflower ear but it's their choice. I don't watch boxing, male or female. I'm not keen on watching football either but am pleased that ladies football has got so many youngsters involved in sport. Good luck to them.

I believe there can come a time in all sports when the true meaning of "sport" is lost to many who partake. Good, better, best and all that is fine, but suddenly something happens in the mind set and the niceties go out of the window. Being sporty is good for our health and should be encouraged, imo. In this world of equality women should be able and encouraged to get into any sport they choose. I shall watch the football today and cheer on my nation hoping they can produce the game play we know they are capable of. Good luck, Lionesses :)
