Womens football....leading headline BBC news....why? Cos very few people actually care

[UnbelievablyStressed]

Let's be honest. The BBC feels the need to have this as a major headline for woke reasons. The reality is few people give a shit....

Um..... OK 👍 I think it's great but each to their own.

Yeah, England as a country is famously uninterested in football.

That’s just not true though is it. Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean no one does.

Perhaps you could do more research or STFU

I beg to disagree. I think plenty of people care. More than you think obviously.

Everyone I know has been talking about it! It’s quite nice to celebrate wining and they are super role models.

Eh? I have no interest at all, but I get that other people feel differently, and have enjoyed cheering them on.

Nailed it!

Well seeing as the Men’s football also gets headline coverage for such things, how is it woke?

YEEEEEAHHHH KELLY!!! Heroine!

Sorry did you say something? Cheers!

Literally just logged on to get the lionesses report

Omg that’s so bad, I give a shit! We
have been a long time waiting on the men to win anything. I am from Northern Ireland and was watching All Ireland match in the pub. Had to wait for hubby to see penalties in England ladies game before I was collected so he must have give a shit too!

What utter rubbish

Well of course everyone cares. Well everyone I know. How lovely to have some good news for a change. Before the match one of the players said "Now little girls can say I want to be a footballer when I grow up".
When I was a child that was just a fantasy.

The TV rating suggest it’s headline worthy. ITVs largest rating this year.

you seem to have confused you don’t give a shit, with no one will, strange logic.

I’m not at all into football but seems like news for an England team to win a match in a penalty shootout.😂

My Facebook and Instagram feeds are full of people talking about it. I watched it. My parents in their 80s watched it, so did the in-laws and my kids (boys) were massively in to it, despite not being that interested in football usually.

I think people really do give a shit even if they’re not huge football fans. It was great to watch.

Are you one of those men who are mortally offended by women playing football op?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 ok

Nonsense. There's a lot of interest. I think you know that...

Congrats to the Lionesses!

Don't be ridiculous ita nothing to do with being woke. Its a brilliant achievement. Let's face it if it was the men's team it would be all wed be hearing about for months

I've got a Chelsea women's season ticket - I might get a Hampton shirt! Love her.

11 million watched the semis.

Are you saying they did this to be woke?

(And by the way, this thread has been done already:)

Ha!

It did come home, after all. Just not how the men thought it would. I couldn't help smiling when I saw it, and I'm not even English.

😂😂

Wow!! The negativity is unnecessary, I and many other people I know do give a shit so take your unwanted bullshit opinion elsewhere.
