Can we stop calling the Coates order to Palaszczuk as 'awkward' - call it what it is...disgusting, arrogant, misogynistic, grossly inappropriate, embarrassing, out of touch.
Any others?
The Eels haven’t played a game in the NRLW yet but have sold out of jerseys & have major sponsors locked in for next 2 years!
Just thinking of those times when people told me women’s sports don’t make financial sense 🤔

In context…
Men’s salary cap increased by $2.5million
Women’s cap by $534,000.
We will be stuck in a semi-professional cycle for the women where the talent simply can’t keep making sacrifices to stay in the game if they’re not fairly compensated for their work.
Lol "record breaking" deals for the NRL ($12.1 million) and NRLW ($884,000). You're giving a whole women's playing group ONE man's salary. What a joke.

See those young girls in the crowd?
They’re the future.
See those young boys watching the women play?
So are they.

If Covid is here to stay (as we're constantly told), should we shift the conversation to long term investment in health infrastructure; building more hospitals, training more health professionals, incentives for students to choose health courses etc etc.

has come under fire over the weekend after he said ‘AFLW is not an elite sport’, but as the league enters its fifth season, why did he feel the need to critique it so publicly?

I commend
@CricketAus
for taking a stand & withdrawing from Afghanistan series to protest the Taliban’s treatment of women & girls.
Their basic rights have been stripped away, it’s ethically wrong to turn a blind eye.
Sport can be a powerful (& only) weapon to show disapproval

I hope one day we can have an anthem that unites not divides us.
You may not feel that it is divisive and if you do please find someone who does and ask them why.
Education unites, ignorance divides.
This situation hasn’t caused division it’s shown it already exists.

So many men have an interest and opinion on this “rumour” in a “protective way.
Where are they when we talk about equal pay, equal funding, equal rights in sport?
But now they want to “save” women’s sports?
Please…you want to do that? Start with pay, funding & rights
Can this please spark more conversations about men calling out other men’s bad behaviour instead of calling a woman standing up for what’s right, standing up for another woman and owning her values, as “self sabotage”??

SOO has been going since 2018.
It's actually 1999, the pioneers of the women's game worked tirelessly with little support to level the playing field of rugby league, it's not fair to ignore what they did
Absolutely weak
@CairnsTaipans
- your explanation doesn't add up either.
Your team copped abuse, so you've decided to opt out instead of making a really powerful stand?
Isolation instead of inclusivity?
#disappointing
Why do some men find it hard to believe that the basic human rights of women are important enough for CA to take a stand?
There is no ulterior motive from CA.
Check your unconscious bias, there’s a disturbing reason you think something else has to be at play here.
Value women
Cricket Australia is committed to supporting growing the game for women and men around the world, including in Afghanistan, and will continue to engage with the Afghanistan Cricket Board in anticipation of improved conditions for women and girls in the country.
I’m proud to have written this book which empowers girls, teaches them that their sporting skills aren’t confined to the field or court and encourages them to be strong, brave & gamechangers!👑👟🙌🏼

The women’s game isn’t a charity, feel good league or box ticked, it’s a vital component of any sport’s strategic future.
If an administrator disagrees don’t worry for the women, worry for the sport!

There is so much arrogance, ego & petulance woven into the Aussies' collective decision to ball tamper. How they could think it was a good idea & not foresee the consequences (that are playing out now) is beyond me.
So deeply shameful for Australian sport.

If you don’t see the problem with Coates’ demeaning comments then you’re more than likely part of the culture problem that this ‘exchange’ represents.
Please ask someone & then listen why it was so disgusting & offensive.

isn’t the “future of golf”.
When there are no women playing, it’s a really archaic & backward view of golf. Not a future for golf I want to see.

Not mad. The world just grew up.
It was a 'joke' which pushes the idea that women are weaker, less than.
Like the old "you hit like a girl".
This was like the awkward guy at the BBQ who thinks he's funny without realising how inappropriate & offensive his statement/action is.
