I'm not saying this is morally right but......
I don't think men and women will play football together, professionally, in the foreseable future. I dont harbour sexist views, however, I know that if say, sean gregan went through a female player, the outcome would be generally alot worse than if he chopped a man down. It doesnt work. The whole concept is crap.
However, publicity should be 50x more regarding female football, as the matches are just as entertaining. I have football training with a former Doncaster Belle, and shes awesome, but noones heard of her. Start telivising female matches and gradually, people will start to see that the standard is quite alot higher than they thought.
