    it is peculiar , remember someone doing it about the Young Scientists, the guy had 2 daughters but was OTT gushing that girls (not his) had done well in it. Support your own kids, but championing one gender seems odd.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    I’m inclined to agree, people these days specifically but not limited to late teens and young twenty somethings seem to be deliberately delighted to hang their flag on a victim group narrative.

    It's career wise for journalists to do so


    It also requires almost no critical thinking ,mere parroting

    Years ago niche sports got little time on telly, If you watched darts or snooker it was in the pub not on the telly and grandstand only gave it 30 mins and not the whole match.

    These days all sport is on TV or online, it's huge money for rights for sports, Setanta took on division 3 in the UK and made it cool, Same with the celtic league and even the GAA league. They build up the sports and then the big dogs come in and buy up the rights for megabucks.

    The next cheap sports are women's sports, They are on TV, rights-free TV, I don't need a sub to watch it so it's great that it's getting some more exposure.


    I don't watch under 18 football does that make me agest?
