Women sue over synthetic pitches

[bizzaro]

Think some posters need to wind it in.

The first two pages in this thread a bit of a joke really.

Women football teams want to play on grass.

Its not like they're demanding anything unreasonable.

Why do they need real grass in the kitchen?


*packs up crap brand of sexism into a pathetic suitcase and walks into the ocean

Fake Grass works in the NFL where players are covered head to toe in gear (and is arguably a better surface) but its horribad for metric footie. They should be angry about it.

Let's put it this way, if it was the Men's WC would it be acceptable?
Also agree with comments re the general tone of the earlier part of this thread.
Have a look a few goals from the last Women's WC (in Germany):-

(Note - The quality of the playing surfaces, stadiums and size of the crowds).

The WWC should be played on grass. Not disputing that.

FIFA are jokers. For certain.

Sue FIFA over incompetence, miss-management etc. Totally agree, go for it, I'll sign the petition.

Using Political Correctness as your weapon, and citing discrimination (when we are talking about two totally different entities) is just wrong and it's this kind of abuse of the term that only draws critics to those who seek genuine equality.

Does anyone really like Astro turf?

I always preferred grass. I don't blame them.
