Default Is football at a stage where male and females could compete together.

What do you think?

Without looking I'd guess there's at least a couple of tranawomen in the women's teams. In which case, yes.

Won't happen.

Women's football doesn't get as many viewers, and pay for televised or live events is dependant upon viewers. Then there's sponsorships etc...

An actor wouldn't get paid the same for.a big Hollywood movie versus an indie production.

Edit: not saying any of that is fair, just that it is. As far as I know, the women's England team is more successful than the men's!

When I read a lot of your posts on here I tend to agree with them for the most part, this however I disagree completely. I enjoy some women's football don't get me wrong, but the quality compared to men's football is night and day. That's why, in this case, the way the pay works is justified.

Also men's football brings in Billions and Billions of Ł each year. Women's doesn't come close and it never will because when it comes to the quality they're worlds apart.

Like you said, you're not a football fan, if you were you'd see why what you're saying is completely unrealistic and illogical.

There are tons of videos on youtube where one man will beat a women's team of seven. It's not a knock on women, nowhere near, other sports women dominate, and make MORE than the men (Ronda Rousey in her Prime for example). But football it will never happen. The men bring the big money in, and their pay reflects that.

Are you saying you don't think women are on the same level as men quality wise then? re: football . Like i said i'm not a sports expert.

I know certain sports will always be male dominated , and the image of men in pubs chanting and drinking beer will always be what's associated with
the likes of football etc.

I had to google that female wrestler as i'd never heard of her , i know there's always sports where women will excel in and be more successful. i know what you're saying.

They're not on the same level of quality, no. Don't get me wrong women's football is getting some recognition now (it never really used to), the BBC air a couple of games a week now (not much compared to men's, but it's headed in the right direction). But the numbers women's football draws pales in comparison to the men's. And that's not to do with "well men's football is everywhere, all the time" (which it is), it's because quality wise like i say, it's worlds apart. And the obvious physical aspect too.

Don't get me wrong, I've played football, just for local teams and stuff all my life, and I'm sure the professional women's teams would thrash any of the teams I played for. But when it comes to professional men and women they just cannot be compared.

Footballers, men, do get paid ridiculous amounts, the balance to say, a hard work Nurse is bollocks, on paper anyway. But the money is there in men's football. You have to remember, the English Premier League is watched by millions world wide. It's draws billions in TV rights, sponsorship's and so on from around the world, not just this little island. China, the US, Africa, South America etc etc. These Countries and Continents are pumping BILLION'S of Ł into the men's game. Equal pay couldn't, and never will add up. It's just the reality.

As for Ronda Rousey, yeah she'll be earning more than most men in the WWE in atm, but i was referring to her time in the UFC, a legit MMA league, by far the biggest worldwide. WWE is premeditated, whereas she was a legit fighter, and pretty badass at it too. She didn't fight men, but she was at one point the most popular and biggest draw for the company. And in turn, her pay reflected that.

The women would put the men to shame. Far too bruising for the mens egos both on and off the pitch.

No physically men would barge women off the ball with ease and they can run faster generally

for friendly matches i'd say yes, also might be good to promote women's football a lot more to have some of women's football superstar players like a Marta, Lieke Martens, Vivianne Miedema, Alex Morgan represent women's football federation in such exhibition friendlies against male footballers, and next to male footballers in a Mixed World XI team

for competitions i'd say no but women's football has more my interest now than men's football and yes controversial of me to say this but i like the quality of real football more of the women, idk how to exactly explain it but lesser VAR moments, lesser time wasting by goalkeepers either



women's football can be very entertaining, and Netherlands their european champions title has also led to more girls signing up to youth programs of teams like a FC Twente, Ajax, PSV, ADO Den Haag and has led to more teams wanting also to have a team in the women's domestic league here such as debuting team this season Feyenoord



sometimes i also find the women, not as easy making schwalbes as men, or lying down like a bunch of crybabies way too easily like what male footballers usually do, yes looking at you Luis Suarez and CR7



USA has been longer invested in women's football than some others, and yes even got a legend of theirs in Pele's top 125 world footballers, Mia Hamm

football is a physical game, women and men cannot compete equally. Saying things like each team must contain 4 women doesnt change that, it's still a physical game where the women could not compete on equal terms
