Comment: When a female athlete speaks her mind, why does the sky fall in?

Or Aussie Rules star Erin Phillips, whoseupon winning AFLW best and fairest summed up the fight she’s had to establish a successful football career. “I’m one of three girls … My Dad obviously played footy and when I was born, people felt sorry for him because he didn’t have a son to play footy some day and carry the Phillips name…Dad, I know you’re watching and Mum, I hope I’ve made you proud — and you can stick it up those people that said that to you.

So sure, Sam Kerr’s speech may have sounded undignified to some, but let’s not tell our female sports stars how to behave right at the moment their hard work is paying off – let them celebrate how they see fit. And anyone who says otherwise should suck on it.

No,nobody cares,it’s the media just making up bullshit again

When, where? Only the SMH is saying it. Or are you talking about those 7 people who watched the Matildas game?

I don't think it does, but the media play it up.

You cant force people to watch a sport they dont want to. No matter how much money you pour into marketing them. Thats why they get paid less.

When a female speaks her mind on any subject anywhere the media & the rugRats twist the intention into negativity & if they are whistleblowers on issue then the sky completely falls in Auspol wapol genderbias genderequity ausnews wanews WomensWorldCup2019 abcnews 6PR

It doesn't though, so...

Just the same as when a Christ follower rugby player speaks God's Truth about sinners...

Really? Israel Folau.

Doesn't. Only here in the land of misogyny

Two good letters on this in your paper today. One says comment “unbecoming”. Another “one thing nore objectionable than a poor loser is a poor winner”. STOP CLICK BAITING / TROLL BAITING. We just want ‘news’ lisazdavies

The gender of the speaker apparently us little women should be in the kitchen baking up a storm

Because she said “... suck on this...” and sounded ignorant. But stop click baiting, troll baiting lisazdavies

Fake news media, like yourselves usually makes the sky fall in on certain people that suit your agendas..

The sky doesn’t fall in, the media says it does though of course.

I don’t know the answer to this because of your fucking paywall.

It was what she said that was inappropriate, nothing to do with gender. 🙄

As organised religion declines, this is why these women keep the faithMore Australians might be ticking the “no religion” box than ever, but, as Sarah Ayoub finds, it takes a lot to shake the foundations of belief. Propaganda. Organised religion is unfortunately not declining. It’s just in the background. It needs to be destroyed Religion is an outdated tool used to manage ancient societies. We’re slowly maturing and moving on.
