Re: What's wrong with this pic Re: What's wrong with this picture? Is the W-League's branding spreading the wrong message?

Description:
I would beg to differ with both andy and britgirl. I think that they look fantastic! Maybe it is slightly over glamourised but if that's what it takes to get more girls actively interested in women's football, then why should anyone complain? Besides a common complaint about sport is that it is too blokey. This ad campaign is clearly not. I think it appeals to women from a glamour, fashion, body image angle and to men from a sex appeal, atleticism angle. It has appeal for all. The only group i see that h

Description:
I don't really have a problem with the glamour but I do have a problem with their hair. I know it might sound like a small thing to pick up on but it looks so fake and like a beauty pageant rather that a serious sporting league. It over sexualises them and I think it trivialises the whole profession. You could make them look pretty and athletic without giving them hair that looks like it came straight out of Girls of the Playboy mansion. Think the campaign needs a little bit of tweaking.

Kerry O'Keefe tells Frog Joke. Kerry O'Keefe tells Frog Joke.
- From: britgirl

Description:
The joke isn't sports related but Kerry O'Keefe told it during the commentary for the 3rd One Day final between Australia and Sri Lanka in February 2006 at the Gabba. It's a pretty awful joke but O'Keefe takes about 3 overs to tell it and the way they crack up at the end is absolutely hilarious! It is now a favourite of mine for this reason alone (Having said that I do have a penchant for terrible jokes, reckon it's genetic :) )

Re: When all's said and done, Re: When all's said and done, it was still an epic Lions tour

Description:
Dear Scotland,
The real facts are 2 tests to SA and 1 to the Lions. If four combined countries can't beat one, then there must be an issue with them.
It was good of the Sth Africans to let them get close other wise most of the supporters would have went home earlier. The lions did play against some inferior teams leading up to the 1st test, but when it can to the crunch they failed.
2 wins out their last 9 tests is not a good stat to base anything on!

The Westfield W-League's branding this year has left many women wondering what type of message the FFA is trying to send out about women's football, but when it comes to glamour and women's sport, it can be hard to know where to draw the line.

Description:
It's amazing that so much of our sporting industry is supported by the time and energy donated by hundreds of thousands of sporting volunteers every year. These individuals don't just give up their time for a warm and fuzzy feeling of a job well done and of helping out (although it certainly is the driver for many), they also volunteer their time to develop themselves as individuals.
The problem comes when sports become so reliant on volunteers to help them remain sustainable but cannot in turn p

Description:
OK, we get it that sport is a great entertainment vehicle. There's loads of money in broadcast rights, lots of top athletes get paid handsomely and merchandising nets a pretty penny for many clubs.
So sport is all good, right?
Wrong.
Healthy sports businesses are all well and good, but what about the alarming statistics emerging around the unhealthy lifestyles of our society, and especially our young people?

Description:
At the Summer Olympics of 1976 in Montreal the unthinkable happened. Australia, a country renowned for producing some of the world's greatest sporting over-achievers failed to win a single Gold medal. And as if that wasn't bad enough it won just one Silver medal and took home a paltry four Bronze medals.
This national embarrassment led to the setting up of the Australian Institute of Sport in 1981, which since its inception has consistently produced world-class sports-men and -women, who have pro

Description:
By the time a city has hosted an Olympic Games it will have spent a huge amount of money developing cutting-edge sporting facilities. But without engaging the population in the benefits of sport, these facilities end up being underused.
No matter how many brand new stadia are built, the real legacy of the Olympics has to be the people. It's the athletes that compete, the volunteers that help run the Games, the spectators filling the venues, the supporting sponsors and the broadcasters, the worker
