Worlds gone mad

Why are you comparing it all to London Fashion Week ? - the models in that situation are key and essential to the whole event , there are all shapes and sizes and sex - they are needed for fashion labels to show their designs off. It’s all about the clothes they are wearing - the fashion models are equally as important to the event

A walk on girl or grid girl is not essential to sport - the sport doesn’t change one single bit without them - what do they add to the actual sport ? It’s a sporting event not a fashion show
Guess there must be an answer to that question

Fashion week; they could just put the clothes on a mannequin. And I suppose all the cars could be painted grey...
 
Don't really know the right or wrong of this as I like to look at a scantily clad lady as much as anyone. However, when my daughter grows up I just hope that she wants to be the F1 driver, not the empty vessel stood at the side of the car...


Note - Empty vessel as in - Just there to look at. I'm not implying that they're stupid...

It is all part of the show

You go with mates, have drinks, sing, dance, bond.

The darts is a part of it, the girls are part of it, the fancy dress is part of it.

The combination works, you start meddling maybe it doesn’t work.


Not as simple as saying it is just darts...cos obviously it isn’t just darts

This is true.
The walk on songs aren’t needed.
The beer isn’t needed.
The fancy dress isn’t needed.
The signs in the crowd aren’t needed.

Why not just turn up,watch them throw their arrows & then go home.
 
There are trade shows at the NEC pretty much every week. Rightly or wrongly, depending on your view, there are ladies who you can hire to be on your stand. This is their job, exhibition girls. 52 weeks a year. They have a job, that is it. They earn good money.
Is it pc? Probably not. Is it needed? Probably not. Do they deserved to get binned off due to pc compliance? Heck, give them a choice. It is their lively hood. No one is taking my job away, so it is easy for me.
 
Should Instagram be banned?

Lots of scantily clad models,actresses and wannabes posting photos of themselves for the public to look at.

I really hope not, for her sake, as she'll never succeed and will only end up disappointed.
 
I'd like Slime to explain his post.. Thanks though..

I just need to prepare my 10yr old daughter for the sad truth that she'll never be as vital a member of society as Good'ol Slime.. I need to get my Daddy/Daughter speech primed...

Come on Slime.. Tell me why my daughter can't be a F1 driver...:thup:

My post was 100% tongue in cheek mate.
 
Seriously tho why aren’t their any F1 female drivers?
Do they not get the chance?
Are they not as good?

You’d think if someone like Redbull could find a female driver that could compete for the title it would be massive for them.

I'd suspect that they haven't had anywhere near as many chances as Men at racing at the lower levels. Therefore there are far fewer reaching the top level..

Recent studies have shown that Female jockies are just as good as Male jockies. However, they don't get the same opportunities due to institutionalized sexism within the sport. It's a barrier that is slowly breaking. However, it will break in time..

Who knows if we'll ever have a Female F1 World Champion.. I'm struggling to see why we can't.. I'm just waiting for Slime to explain to me..

I also don’t think they can be compared to cheerleaders who are there to do a specific job for their team.

I can’t believe anyone who thinks the F1 girls, darts walk in girls etc should go but thinks cheerleaders are ok. Darts girls are only there to look good but cheerleaders do a job for their team?
You are not telling me that American Football fans need girls to make them cheer their team on. It’s one of the worlds biggest sports with some of the largest audiences worldwide. I am told that cheerleading is a sport in itself. If so then those who are so concerned about the darts girls etc should surely be campaigning for cheerleading to have its own events where the female participants are centre stage instead of playing second fiddle to the men yet again.
Sorry, this is double standards.

The point about the darts, F1, boxing etc is that it’s all there to add razzmatazz and glamour to the event. F1 is all about glamour and beautiful people and celebrities. That’s why they have the Red Arrows there. What do they have to do with F1. If they are surplus to requirements like the girls, surely they must go to?
What about the presentation at the Open? How many men in blazers does it take to present a trophy? Let’s have a cull. One blazer handing the jug over should do it and we can be home in time for tea.
 
Some on here complain about the stuffiness of golf clubs. They particularly object to dress codes and the fact that some clubs dictate to members what they can and can’t wear.
Interestingly many of those same people are those most willing to tell women how they can and can’t earn a living.
Just saying...
