I'm yawning, the cat's yawning and the New Girlfriend is gripped to the TV watching 22 men kick a white ball. It can only mean one thing, the Euro 2012 football has started and Germany are playing Portugal. It's Saturday night and I'm being made to sit through 90 minutes of the most male dominated testosterone driven sport in the world.
I have never understood the lesbian obsession with football. Why are gay women so into watching 22 (mostly ugly) men run around a pitch chasing a white ball and on occasion acting like cry-babies just so they can get a penalty shot?
I absolutely hate football. I hate it because of all it represents - the gender inequality that exists in society with women's football not even shown on TV, even though the England Women's team is ranked ninth in the world (the England Men's team ranked seventh), the fact that David Beckham earns £26.2m compared to Faye White, England's female captain who earns a measly £16,000, despite both having very similar success records in their football careers, and the fact that the FA is an all-male dominated hierarchy.
It's not even as if the men who play this sport act as good role models (yes, I am going to generalise!) Open up any paper, and invariably there's a story about these high paid footballer's behaviour off pitch that's less than desirable; on a relatively frequent basis stories about rape, abuse, sex scandals or just downright disrespect towards wannabe WAG's. I've not even touched on all the other issues (like homophobia)!
I just do not get why lesbian's would choose to watch and support such a situation. Why and how they can enjoy it so much that venture out to the local dyke bar, the venue will have the football on the big screen otherwise they risk having very low if any customers (except me of course)!
I just don't get it. May be you can explain?
