Men who refuse to watch the euro finals tomorrow as it’s women’s football - so what’s the point and refuse to watch, and say this in front of they wives and daughters are misogynistic pricks and their wives and daughters deserve so much better?

Thick too if they haven't realised they'll get to see attractive women in shorts AND football at the same time. You'd have to be extra sexist to miss that. Cutting off your nose to spite your face!

I don’t know. It’s just a different game and I can understand why people would not find it entertaining in the same way the men’s game is.

I am a pretty committed football fan, go very regularly to watch my PL team but even I won’t put my day on hold to watch the women. That’s just the truth.

It’s a great achievement for the women’s game but to pretend it’s exactly the same is not helpful. Calling people misogynistic, sexist pricks is not going to help the cause.

What if the man is not involved in any football at all

the op specifically mentions Men who refuse to watch the euro finals tomorrow as it’s women’s football so she doesn’t mean ‘men who dont like football’

What if the man is not involved in any football at all? And it doesn't say much for the women if they are in relationships with these men you so intelligently and eloquently put
