GrahamC Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Brilliant reply. Pretty sad comment by the bloke in the first place but nowhere near as sad as the losers who message her trying to be her “friend”, there are some A grade ******* weirdos out there.

I don’t get the comment. You’ve got the football stance and elbows? Am I missing something? Is it some form of insult? I genuinely have no idea.

Based on my near 50 years on this earth, I can't agree with that, it simply isn't true. People say things to blokes they don't know all the time.

Crimson Crayola Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Seems to be a case of the bloke being condescending and a little sexist without really intending it, and Michelle responding perfectly, and in way much more effective then simply labelling his comment as such.

I don't get this mate. Someone gave her ( in my mind) a back-handed compliment, implying she looked like she could play football, which surprised him. She then responded by saying she used to play at the top level of womens football. Absolutely nothing wrong by either of them, although it showed a little bit of ignorance from the guy. I don't think he meant it as disrespectful at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say things to blokes they don't know all the time. Do we always have to think the worst of people (esp. men)? People say things to blokes they don’t know and people say things to women they don’t know. That is true. But not necessarily the same things. I struggle to imagine a scenario where a man said to a man they did not know who was playing football “wow, that’s really impressive. Your pose even looks a bit like a real footballer”, which is what has happened here. However well intended it was, there is no getting around the fact the subtext is “you look less terrible at football than I assumed”, which has to lead to a question of why he assumed that in the first place.

Bristol Rob Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 I know her as a sports broadcaster, I had no idea that she played the game to a high standard. So the original comment doesn't strike me as odd, more an observation. The 'correction' seems neither harsh or a put down. Who did she play for?
