That's what she said (not to @Pexbo though).
Don't undermine your very serious thread about the worrying issue of sexism in football with such childish jokes. You've undermined the whole credibility of this thread. I'm starting to think you're not even serious about the sexism stuff.

I must admit that as soon as I heard it I thought ‘feck sake, bet the media will make a meal out of this now’. Was nothing.

Just said this in his post match interview. Disgraceful comment really considering this is the first season United have a women's team. Should apologise.
No wonder Owen Jones binned you, you jumper-hating caveperson.

I currently identify as a man, so I'm in a position to say this is shameful for our gender.

He was being serious. She’s never said that to me.

I've got a few emails selling tablets to help with that kind of thing if you want me to pass the website on?

How is it not?
Anyone can chose to interpret anything whatever way they want if they try hard enough. This is one of those cases.

It takes a lot of mental gymnastic to come to this conclusion. Also equality doesn't mean getting rid of masculinity which I think some people just don't get.

People who look for reasons to be offended offend me.

Shouldn't have made a sexist comment, if that's what you mean.
He also assumed Origi's gender! Can you believe this Norwegian Nazi? I mean come on, it's 2019 guys.

He needs to apologise and also be shamed and cancelled. #CancelOle #BoycottOle

It really doesn't. It's sexist language and reinforces the archaic idea that football is a purely male sport, when it isn't.

He better go touring the talk shows to apologise to everyone who was offended on behalf of those who might offended.

Just accept its a sexist comment and he should apologise. May have been a slip of the tongue but speaks more to his character of the man.
Listen, he could also have been insinuating (which is my understanding) that you dont want 'boys' out there (this is a match in mens football, right?) in a match of this magnitude, you require the characteristics of a dominant 'man' as you are going to 'war'

So why this has become a trial with no judgement ??

Bit of a stretch.

Yes, let's politisize every single statement without any context. Especially something random that was said in a post match interview.

OP should be working with the likes of The Sun and Daily Mirror.

Are there many people that watch women’s football? Personally, I don’t know anyone (and it’s not about English football, but football in general).
