I am old school, but Jes Its hard to enjoy.

Times have changed, I realise, but I find it hard to accept.
 
Zero interest. I think it is great that there is a women's comp etc etc etc. But it just does not interest me.

Same as women's cricket, soccer, golf, boxing and the rest. I understand they are great athletes but I have no interest.

I do watch some of the NRLW as I play the Bundy Mixer Fantasy where you pick 3 men’s and 3 women’s players each week for 11 weeks from when NRLW started I’m currently 27th out of 15,000 people. I’ll enjoy the NRLW more when we have our own team in it in a couple of years I’ll be behind them. But I reckon I enjoy the women’s cricket more standard is so high and getting better Perry, Healy young Litchfield etc great to watch. Alana King the young spinner too very talented.

Yep get it. They have wonderful technique but still have no interest.
 
Zero interest in all womens sport.reminds me of the a-league in sokka.just i
an unwatchable amateur hour.
 
I was in Bali recently.

No pay tv in the room, just random channels including ABC Australia.

They had womens AFL so I left it on and watched it for a few mins.

Wow.

How anyone can say that is quality is beyond me.
 
I think it is incredibly important people actually talk about this.

It is beyond ridiculous that normal people are circumventing their true beliefs in order to not be thought of as "that guy".

The game of rugby league in Australia almost went to the brink of bankruptcy during Covid.

Tough decisions were made. People were sacked, jobs made redundant.

The money started flowing in.

Now we sit back and watch it get blown horribly on this ridiculous competition.

The game simply cannot afford to hire stadiums, police, security, food vendors. Send television crews and commentators. Pay for flights, hotels. Insurances, etcetcetc on this product.

The NSW Cup final was not shown on Fox or 9 last year and nor is it being show this year.
The superbowl type final between the NSW Cup and Qld Cup was the precursor to the womans grand final FFS.

Forget everything about misoginy or whatever.

Financial respsonsiblity dictates that this cannot continue to happen.

We are knowingly watching the money the male code makes be thrown away in the name of god knows what.

Yet it's the conversation they just don't want to accept they need to have.

They said the same about soccer. The Matilda’s easily outsell the Socceroos now in everything.

The matildas never got given it, they earnt it themselves. Even for the world cup Victoria refused to allow them their stadiums much to their eventual dismay.

I don't believe your comparison changes anything I typed.

I’m a lover of cricket that’s why I have interest. I love men’s and ladies cricket. It wasn’t as good a quality 10 years ago but the womens game has really kicked on.
 
I actually enjoy watching the 5 minute highlights on youtube. It's different than the mens game, but I still enjoy it for different reasons. If I was to think about why I like it, to be honest, I initally started to watch as I find women athletes sexy. Jaime Chapham in particular is but she is also a great athlete. She has a great running technique, is strong and puts on big hits.

I'm 6'6" so I like seeing tall women do well, like Grace Kemp from the Raiders. She seems like a really lovely person too. It can be difficult for tall women in society as they are seen as masculine and can be judged harshly. So it's a chance for them to excel and get self esteem.

Tamika Upton also is someone who seems to be a natural athlete and is a pleasure to watch. It looks like she really knows the game and where to run.

I really enjoyed the womens first State of Origin this year. I live in the UK and showed the people at work who are Rugby fans the highlights and they really liked. The second one was very disappointing.

The sport has only really just started and it's not fully professional yet.

I don't know the numbers, but I would think it's probably not profitable yet. But if it is supported, then more people will play, the women can spend more time training and the quality will get higher, the fan base will grow, more people will go to the games and watch on TV. It could be a nice suppliment for the TV networks and get more ratings.

I feel like it's funding a start up that has the possiblilty to make money in the future.

Also, maybe you guys aren't the target audience. A woman I know at work, she is very passionate about womens soccer. She loves it and a lot of people go to womens soccer games over here. And it's a chance for Dad's to take their daughters to watch sport without the agressiveness that can happen as the mens game.

It's also important for women to have hero's who are not just social influencers of becoming famous because they are pretty. These women work hard at what they do, are ambitious and highly competitive.

I think that's good for young girls to see.
