Not this nonsense again. 🙄
Steph Houghton has spoken out on the commercial pay gap between England's men's and women's sides:
"When I looked at what they [England's men] were getting for commercial deals, that really opened my eyes. The men and women play for the national teams of the same country and yet they're getting 15 times more than us. How is that fair?"
Same badge, same shirt, and a 15x difference in what the deals pay. Its a conversation that splits rooms thats for sure...
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The revenue of the men's football game in England is almost $12 billion while the women's division generates $120 million, about 1% of the men, so a 1/15th pay gap is beneficial for women compared to revenue share.

Newcastle have spent the best part of £200M trying to replace Isak, and ended up with Dan fucking Burn! 🤯

Not a single one of them deserves higher than a 5. #NUFC
Part of the problem.
Accept mediocrity and that’s exactly what you’ll get.
#NUFC
Boos at half time. Fuck off and follow Sunderland!
Yes we’re not playing well, but booing doesn’t help anyone. Support the team and encourage them.
If you don’t like what you see, don’t bother going again and let some proper fans go. #nufc
Some of us have known it all along.
MJ is a fraud, Emperor’s New Clothes.

Free cars available if you have a ‘wheat intolerance’.
What the actual fuck.
Far too many lazy grifters who are crippling this country.

This @WSJ piece on the UK's runaway disability benefits is something else. Great color from @MaximColch & @davidluhnow
This is genuinely shocking btw.
Insane interaction with Betfair Exchange this weekend.
Been on a bad run recently, down ~£12k over the last three months.
I get an email saying my account has been severely restricted until I call them for an RG check.
I get through to someone who asks whether I'm comfortable with the losses.
I say yes.
She asks me to explain what happened.
I say bad variance, pointing out that the account is still up £7k this year, even after the recent losses.
She asks whether I have a betting strategy.
I say bet when I think the line is wrong.
She tells me that unless I can explain my strategy better than that, she'll have to impose a £1,500 monthly deposit limit.
I ask why I need to explain my strategy when I've been profitable this year and over the lifetime of the account.
She says there's nothing she can do. Limits imposed.
Betfair Exchange is basically the last place in the UK where people can still try and win. Now, seemingly, even that's becoming impossible.
I'm in a WhatsApp group with around 10 serious/sharp bettors, and probably two can still bet freely on Betfair.
Regulation feels broken
There can be no doubt that Newcastle has gone backwards this season.
Should #NUFC have kept Eddie Howe?

🚨🗣️ Jack Rudoni dedicates his goal to his grandmother, who suffered a heart attack:
“This one is for you, Grandma. I know you’re watching from the hospital. Stay strong — you’ll get through this.” 🥹❤️ #COVNEW
Another 4-1 Monday night pumping.
Too many players way off it.
Pardo stinking the place out.
Manager out of his depth.
#NUFC
Right, I’m calling it now - Pardo is Woltemade 2.0.
And that’s not a good thing!
#NUFC
The way she can’t resist a quick glance gets me every time!
