Darts axes walk on girls

[Beanz]

Very ass backwards thinking. Deny employment opportunities to self aware and professional individuals all in the name of respect. Brilliant.

but really just dart players having ring walks is fookin funny . They do pyrotechnics also

Darts is massive here now mate and spreading across Europe. It sells out 10,000+ seater arenas. It's a proper night out ! Second biggest viewing figures now for a sport in UK after football (soccer !). The standard of the best players now is insane.

recent world championships paid £400k to the winner

Yeh I can totally see that. Don't know enough to knock or love it as 'sport' but played some in school and fun stuff. Today anything can be produced but it is a real competition with individuals. Here it sounds like the network is banning what helped make it? You add on some pomp, some theme music for competitors, maybe an arse wiggle from a Tecate beer gal and genuinely good sport and game played..now that's entertainment! Reminds a lot of pro billiards

Do they show 9 ball, Pool or Snooker in the US then?

They should have replaced them with fat ugly men for a couple of years, then brought the gorgeous girls back, then they couldn't be accused of exploiting women.

F1 have got rid of their grid girls, they are going after the boxing ring girls now.

I think its fucking crazy I do, I'm guessing that the types of people who get majorly offended by ring girls aint the kind of people who enjoy watching 2 blokes beating the snot out of each other for 36 minutes

I fully believe that women around the world through history have been mistreated and still suffer from a lack of equal opportunity.

However, I am getting sick of the militancy being displayed ..... the unseemly rush to wear some sort of flower or item of clothing 'in support' (how the fuck does that actually support, or do, anything?), the poor diddums at the BBC who is 'only paid £250,000 a year, the endless BBC propaganda reporting of women 'fighting' for their rights and - most importantly - the social media mob who try people without any evidence, shout down any different views and assume that one is evil, thick or misguided if you dare to disagree with the mob view.

Every newspaper article is about this, every talk show (which are invariably female dominated), or at least it feels like every one.

I am not a sexist, never have been. Always treated women equally, had many female bosses and subordinates. Don't care what sex someone is to do a job. I am getting totally sick of this stuff being rammed down my throat, as if I am somehow part of the problem.

The world is not binary. Not all men are complicit sexual predators, not all men are busy subjugating women.

How about focusing on how women are treated in mainstream Islam and in India. How about working to free child brides and kids who are genitally mutilated? How about standing up for them?

We are in the middle of the Third World War with Wahabbi Islamic fanatics, we have a nuclear armed North Korea, an unstable loony in the White House, a Russia run by and for kleptocrat gangsters, ethnic cleansing going on in several countries ...... and we are feeling anxious about transgender rights, 'cultural appropriation' and British women having it so hard.

For fuck's sake.

Words fucking fail me

Why, because you agree with me, because of the darts girls, or because you think I am a wanker?

Or all three, of course

Heard Eddie Hearn on talk sport today say that ring card girls will stay at matchroom.

[Alpha]

Spelling Bee's should introduce walk on girls.

I think it is a big oversimplification to just dismiss it as political correctness gone mad. It's just a very lazy and handy phrase to just signal that you don't really want to even enter into a discussion about or consider an alternative view of anything. I can't talk about Darts never followed it on TV, or been to see it live. (unless you call a team at a pub watching it live) I think also that not having any female posters here right now should tell us all a whole lot about why many women might not agree with what we think. I can though offer my view on Boxing ring card girls, having worked with several.

They do it because for them it is a job. It is rarely, if ever, their only job and so the idea that they would not have a livelihood without it is a bit daft and certainly misguided. We also have to remember ring card girls have only been around since the 1960's. It is something that came from the casinos and Vegas so there is nothing sacred and untouchable about the role of a ring card girl in boxing. Again female fans even being allowed to come and watch boxing is a fairly new invention and female boxers, a newer thing again.

X is right the world is certainly not binary and all men are not predators but it is, or has been until very recently a man's world. It's 2018 now though and things will inevitably change. I don't think that the plight of abused women in Islam and India etc has anything to do with western women fighting for a more equal footing. It is just another way of saying that I don't want things to change in the west. Yes there is a lot of nonsense espoused in the name of wanting to be seen doing the right thing but it is not an excuse to dismiss the disrespect that is often very prevalent. Not equivalency,equal respect.

I am a straight hypocritical bloke like some most of the posters here, and I don't have a problem with it. It doesn't really do a lot for me and to be honest there are many female photographers who take way more photos of ring girls than i do as they know they will sell. I have shot pro and amateur models of both sexes, but it makes up a tiny percentage of what I do and I do find the obsession with female models incredibly boring as a subject when there is no story to be told. There are some pretty badly behaved cuntish blokes at times who will talk about, and to ring card girls like shit, so it is not a job for the feint hearted, but the women themselves should be respected enough to let them decide for themselves what they want to do.


That said I draw the line at gluten free shampoo. I mean seriously wtf?

I don't care if we have the walk on girls in darts or not , i respect the PDC and their decision.
However isn't it a bit harsh to AXE the girls and not simply give them their P45's ?

[Gandalf]

I feel sorry for the young women who just want to do what they clearly enjoy doing. Feminists are starting to interfere with women and their ability to work. Where does it lead to in the end? An end to all modelling jobs as it hurts the feelings of the average tubby who can never be a model? It's a slippery slope. None of these things are hurting anyone.

Yeh very similar, almost a cultish type following though not sure pool is as big as it was in 80's. They've certainly tried to sexy up women billiards with more than a few knowing the appeal. Went searching for dart and pool players and even ran across bikini billiards. Also here in the States we once had a great thing called Lawn darts growing up . Though they were banned as too many drunks got impaled and the occasional house cat.

look at this pairing ...big bwoy looked like he wanted to smack the slow guy in his mullet
