Our thanks to Jeff for this in the Express today. He writes:

“Has Leo McKinstry only just realised this, Mike?”

Apparently so, 15+ years and Jeff and I and countless other men and women did. From McKinstry’s Wikipedia page:

“In the early 1990s, McKinstry was a Labour councillor in Islington and worked as a parliamentary aide to Labour politician Harriet Harman, for which he has never apologised. Losing his seat on Islington council in 1994, he was working for Labour frontbencher Doug Henderson when he announced the following year, via an article in The Spectator, that he no longer supported the party. Subsequently, he was a regular columnist in both the Daily Mail and the Daily Express.

McKinstry is married and lives in Kent and Provence.”

OK, I may have added six words there.

Enjoy (8:18). Scandalously, the makers of the video haven’t included the surely similar number of breathtaking goals in women’s soccer.

Not one women’s soccer team in the world is self-financing, they all parasite off men’s soccer teams and leagues. That money should go towards the men’s game, to increase the number of skilled watchable games. Women are strong, women are amazing, we are told. Then let them fund their own sports teams and leagues.

The English Premier League is said to be the top soccer league in the world, in large part because of the earnings potential for the world’s best footballers. From the Wikipedia page:

“Central payments (J4MB: sponsorship) for the 2016–17 season amounted to £2.4 billion across the 20 clubs, with each team receiving a flat participation fee of £35.3 million and additional payments for TV broadcasts (£1.0 million for general UK rights to match highlights, £1.1 million for each live UK broadcast of their games and £39.1 million for all overseas rights), commercial rights (a flat fee of £4.8 million) and a notional measure of “merit” which was based upon final league position.”

The female equivalent, the hilariously-named Women’s Super League (WSL), has this on its Wikipedia page:

“As of 30 November 2022, the WSL’s total annual sponsorship revenue was estimated to be about $14.72 million (J4MB: £11.1 million).”

So commercial sponsorship for the men’s game is more than 210 times larger than the sponsorship for the women’s game, and that’s comparing the former in 2016-17 with the latter in 2022-23, it would surely be much higher today. In effect, the female players (among them, many lesbians) are the prostitutes of the male players. And finally, from the WSL Wikipedia page, this gem:

“Most shirt sponsorships for women’s sides affiliated with men’s clubs are bundled and not sold or valued separately.”

I imagine if the sponsors contracted seperately with the WSL they’d lose money on the deals.

Women’s soccer… as entertaining as a broken leg.
