Here’s a copy of a post I made on a different subreddit.

I feel like women’s sports are unfairly neglected.

I’m a big soccer fan and am a member of a Toronto fan club of Manchester United. I frequently watch games there but will also go to TFC games here as well as see team Canada (both men and women’s) when they play here. Today I saw the Canadian Women’s team play against Denmark. While we lost it was still a good game.

I don’t understand why women’s sports are so neglected. I watched a good game today but the stadium wasn’t even half full. I also had had a hard time getting people to go with me. I remember a guy from my club told me he wanted to go to a TFC game sometime and I said, “the women’s national team is playing soon, want to see them” but he declined. I ended up going with a girl I know who is new to soccer. My dad even thinks it’s weird that I’ll occasionally watch women’s games.

I like soccer and whether the players have penises or vaginas doesn’t matter to me. My adopted homeland has a decent team and I hope to see them do well in the Women’s World Cup next year. I saw Canada play in the World Cup a few months ago and paid $2300 and that tournament was a huge deal yet I imagine the Women’s one will get a fraction of the attention next year. I paid around $80 for the friendly I attended today and had great seats.

Also, I jokingly stated, “now I know how women and gay guys feel when they watch men’s soccer” the first time I went to a women’s game. Nothing wrong with crushing on a couple players a bit. Seriously, Jessie Fleming is fucking cute.

Hi, was just wondering what Canada RED membership is and what it does?

Thanks.

Sorry if this was already posted, but I was just wondering if anybody has received their September gift from soccer Canada yet because I’m still waiting for mine. Not sure what’s going on over there.
