SEXISM, IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT

Morning all. With all the latest news about sexism in sport i.e. Andy Grey and Richard Keys being sacked by Sky sports for derogatory comments on lineswoman Sian Massey. Has made me take a long look at sport in general and any competitive event involving both sexes. Now we know that men and women have always tried to get one over one another for all-time, that's nothing new, and its well known that men will usually make lewd comments when there's attractive women about. and vice versa. Now i am not a supporter of either Grey or Keys in fact i didn't like the way they run the program anyway, i found they were very biased against certain clubs and in favour of others, so in my eyes good riddance.But lets take a closer look. Football was supposedly invented by men, for men, that's why the old term (its a mans game) came in, having said that, men must have realised that women wouldn't let that be the case for ever. Now we know that it wouldn't be fair letting women play with men in the same team and against one another for the obvious reasons which is why there are men's leagues and women's leagues. I believe it is better that way in all honesty. I also believe it is better to have men officiating men's games and women in their games. My reasons for that statement. For a start, the first time a woman officiates a mans game, two men lose their jobs, that will now be in the history books for ever. But consider this, Men and women in offices working together, must have caused many many divorces over the years and must be taken into consideration. Why i can hear you say, young women running the lines and refereeing,in men's games will without doubt cause problems.22 young healthy wealthy men, must be a young woman's dream, and as soon as she has found her young wealthy mate, compromises her next game involving said mate. After all its bad enough now with doubtful officials, without bringing love into the equation. It is well known that in times of the Olympics, the Olympic village is a hive for sexual activities, a wealth of healthy athletes having the ride of their lives we do not need this in football. even in TV competitions such as strictly come dancing, contestants have affairs with their dancing professionals. Karen Brady the West Ham Director, who was also on the end of Andy Greys acid tongue, couldn't stop herself from falling for one of Birmingham's players, while she was there. I have watched over the years all of the football programs, and noticed that all of those programs which was always presented by men, has now introduced women, i must say at this time very attractive women dressed very sexily but i believe they would be better pushing the ladies leagues, rather than try and take over the men’s game, after all every woman employed means another mans job down the swanny, its my belief that women do not want equality, they want overall control. They are a rolling machine and wont stop till they have it. Margaret Thatcher, was another good example, in her 17 years in power, as Prime Minister, she did everything in her power, to put as many working men as she could out of work, from coal miners to ship builders. she tried her hardest to break as many unions as she could and in all honesty broke a lot of hard working men’s hearts. Things have never been the same since Emily chained herself to the railings, many would say she did it for all the right reasons, but had she been a man she would probably still be there. In my eyes certain things have improved with women's intervention, but other things haven't. A man who wanted a quiet pint with his mates, where they could sit and chat F and blind without offending anyone, in a Men’s only bar, Women hated that, not many Men only bars now is there. Only the other morning, i was watching the box, when two presenters man and woman were discussing something, and the woman said to the man ( i don't suppose your little brain can handle that, can it) although tongue in cheek, no reprimand there, sexism has to work both ways. It reminds me a little of, the days when this was a predominantly a white country, when a white man would call a black man a name and the black man would take it to the Race discrimination board, i don't ever remember a case where the black man called a white man a name and it went any further. Now the country is full of every race, all talking their own language, and that’s supposedly better. Remember Eve Handed the apple to Adam and the fool took it, its not time to make the same mistake again. Remember this, Sian Massey was pulled out of her game the other night to protect her, who’s going to protect her when she’s in the middle officiating, my view is don't mend it if it aint broke, I'm frightened to ask what's your view ?
