You definitely act like the woke police... Funny or not, appropriate or not, let the man make his joke.

aye and let me criticise it, or does free speech only work one way?
Can't be arsed to watch the female football but to each their own. There are far worse sports to waste time on so who am I to judge.
Am curious how this section of the club operates, even at this level of having a top top female side. Are they making the club money via prizes, TV rights, sponsors or are they subsidized by mens section and basically bleeding out resources.
Edit: just checked. It seems Barca female team were subsidized by mens section up until last year and looks to make profit in this season too.
Good news.

Of course you can criticise it in any way you like but in most places critique of such kind will be called out for what it is. Hyper-sensitive woke nonsense.

Bit hypocritical to call people out for misogyny while engaging in ableism.

Watched the highlights, unlike many matches i watched from women these teams played great football.
wanted to see if anyone would try point that out, cheers for playing ball. Also calm down "woke police".
Nah it's called common decency, woke nonsense would be if someone gave fair criticism to the women's team and I claimed that criticism was only happening because they're women. Our women's team deserve better than some cunt "joking" we should set some potential rapist on them to sort them out. Degenerate behaviour.

In all seriousness, I am not into calling things woke either, as I lean left of centre.
But can't you see he didn't mean anything bad by it? I think you're overreacting. There's too much protection of women in this society by some men. Even when those women don't need protecting and aren't asking.
You always seemed like a good poster. Just calm down.

Typical of you virtual signallers to project onto someone what he was thinking so you can falsely claim to have some moral superiority over everyone.
Of course I wasnt joking at all. I really want Dani Alves to be the new Womens coach!!
Is that the best you got? That's as bad as your explanation of your ' retard ' comment. You outted yourself there as the virtue signalling hypocrite you are.
Getting your titties in a tangle over a fucking internet joke that was designed to bring a little laughter, when all you do is bring misery with your fake holier than thou attitude.

Only section of the club that is self-sustainable. Been that for the last 4-5 years AFAIK. Obviously costs have increased in time but even more so have incomes.
But as I've said before it's questionable how long we can keep this up while playing in an uncompetitive league. Madrid is improving so at least that should keep us awake but other Liga F teams are way behind. Atleti who were our main rivals 5-6 years ago have not improved (they've probably even stagnated) since then.
Kind of happened already with handball team that has zero competition domestically since Ciudad Real dissolved 15 years ago. And in the past decade we struggled in Europe (only won one CL) against likes of Kiel and Flensburg who are playing in a strong Bundesliga. Alhough tbf we were kind of bottlers too at Final Fours. Luckily things have turned around over last few years and hopefully will stay so but I do believe it's hard to keep a competitive team longterm if you don't play strong games every week.
Back to football we have Lyon who wants to go back to the top where they still think they belong and Michele Kang will surely do everything (she already hired Zubi Jr. as a SD a year ago) for that to happen and then ofc PSG will continue to invest as well.
But main problem is ofc WSL that is becoming the next EPL where most top players will eventually want to play. Like it or not they know how to "sell the product" much better than idiots like Tebas and Rubiales.
Arsenal's revenues last season were on almost the same level as FCB Femeni (around 18m). Their matchday revenues have increased for 64% as they played eight WSL games at the Emirates and been successful at that - 56k attendance against Tottenham and 40k+ vs United, City and Chelsea. Commercial revenues also improved for almost 50%.
So there is a future potential for FCB Femeni once we are back at the Camp Nou but besides El Clasico and maybe Atleti game I doubt there would be much interest for league games against let's say Sevilla, Sociedad or even Espanyol. There is just not that much rivalry established between those teams in women's football because Barca has been so superior to them over the years.
A lot of Liga F teams are pretty much still (semi) amateur on many levels (trainings, staff,...). 2-3 years ago when we played against Rayo (IIRC) they didn't even have a team doctor present at the game so Barca's doctors had to take care of one of their players when she suffered a head injury. And apparently that wasn't the only time they were without doctors or physios.

The joke just wasn't funny and in poor taste
So it missed on both counts, if it was funny then it would be cool.
A man who doesn't take no for an answer, while talking about females, come on do better.
People who talk nonsense like to revert to wokeness every time they get called out.
And I like DON, but poor taste and not funny.
Nothing to do with woke.
