Bay16 and Behaviour Towards Women

[Timmah]

Exactly. I'm a fan of both the Mariners and the Bulldogs and I simply take offence to the sentiment. As a fan of the latter I've had to cop a lot of sh*t about our fans' actions and to have further bad light cast on the sport is grossly unfair.

Hahaha. Its the players in Rugby League that have a bad attiude towards females.

That's a big generalisation to make.

"women's a-league starts next year that these players are not treated with such disrespect and contempt"

There's a full on womens aleague starting next year? Jesus they'll be lucky to get a crowd let alone a terrace singing.

i beg to differ, last season i played for central coast so was travelling to play and the crowds we got were pretty good.
why do u think people wouldnt want to go and watch women play football?
we are often better players then the men.
that comment was totally unneccessary.

Women's team sports doesn't get good crowds, what were you getting watching you play? I'm not saying it's a good thing that they dont get crowds I'm pointing out that they most probably won't. So the comment isn't unnecessary as it is my opinion. I guess we can revisit this subject next year, care to estimate what the crowd average will be?

I have no problem with what is said at the games. Admittedly, when I went to my first A-League game I was a bit shocked...however its's really not that big a deal...

People who are worried about women and children hearing some swearing?

1. I have heard what disgusting language comes out of a 12 year olds mouth these days. Its worse than my alcoholic uncle.

2. The stupid stereotype that women are all innocent and shouldn't hear swearing. Yes, ok...maybe don't take her out on a first date and go "F**k me, that waiter was a bit of a c**t wasn't he?". But going to a game? Its expected you'll hear some language, watch alcohol being consumed, and come home with a tiny bit less hearing than you had when you left home.

3. If the parents are concerned about what happens at the games, they should supervise their children. Sit with them during the game and not let them wander around.

But all that being said? In Bay 16...you also get a lot of laughs, celebratory hugs, and the whole atmosphere really is amazing. We're not all bad. You don't see us throwing bottles, starting fights with other Marinators or anything like that.
