But Chelsea sold their womens’ team for £200m. Of course the rest of the WSL is simply undervalued 🤥

Cos it’s crap.
And they want pay parity which I think they have in USA. Mugs

To be fair on it all, I'd say grassroots girl's and women's football has grown massively. Give that time, and there will be perhaps a more sustainable women's game.

I think it will grow a little once a new generation of girls comes through....but I can't ever see it operating at break even. It would always have to be held up by the men's game.

Ultimately females just aren't as interested in competitive sport in enough numbers to pay money to watch it.

It comes down to natural law.......warm words can't fake bums on seats who have paid hard earned cash.

Big audience statistics = big money.


i have no idea why, but the women's beach volleyball gets a big audience.

Women spend billions on themselves, hair makeup, fashion shoes etc.

When it comes to women's sport though they are not interested. Do a vox pop on the high street and they will all say women's sport is important, just as long as someone else pays for it.

Until women are prepared to support their sisters it will remain a minority support subsidised by the men's game.
