I've watched almost all the matches at this World Cup and I've seen cutaways of all sorts of fans, men, women and children. Were some of the women attractive, sure, but I saw plenty of ordinary looking women too. This just seems like more outrage over nothing. I guess if they do decide to show a female fan, she better be ugly.

 

[iconmaster]

In order to comply with this diktat, broadcasters will need to first determine which women are attractive in order to avoid zooming in on them.

 

[Breakage]

Don't they just zoom in for a few seconds though? What use is that going to be for male viewers?

 

[brap]

lmao. Bet nobody is gonna tell them not to show any handsome dudes.

 

[Atrus]

How does one police this? Sounds very Taliban-esque in that it would lead to fewer female fans being broadcast.

WAGs of footballers tend to be models, would this mean no more pans to family?

Furthermore, would that not infer that any woman they do capture is ugly? Wouldn’t fans catch on to ugly-cam as a concept, and further drive women away from attending?

 

[Sakura Doritos]

I think there is good money to be made in boutique hijabs. I think FIFA might be the Venture Capitalist we all need in this growing market space.

Sports camera operator resumes now:

"Able to quickly and accurately assess the attractiveness of individual fans, in order to avoid focusing on them during game."

 

[Gander]

World Cup dignitaries I apologize for having a penis *crying* I like big titties and asses. I'm ashamed of myself. I've let my family down and those who look up to me.

Here's the dirty little secret of modern feminism and why you see stuff like this.

These modern so called feminists secretly HATE women, it's a philosophy stemming from self loathing women so that the less feminine you are and the uglier you are the better.

It's sour grapes on a massive scale, women who hate being women either because they feel like they don't fit in or they secretly wish they were men trying to ruin female culture for everyone.

Yup, I have the same feeling. When I take everything the "modern feminists" want I end up with men more often than not.

 

[Papa]

Won't be a problem when they're all in burqas.

 

[diablos991]

Quick! Hide all of the pretty women!

This is going to escalate to a point where they are afraid to show any fans that aren’t dudes.

Then you’ll hear how chauvinistic they are.

 

[NickFire]

Shit like this is why Trump is running around the world in Air Force One to make fun of people. And the loons coming up with this crap keep doubling down.

 

[TrainedRage]

TOXIC MASCULINITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Corrik]

Are we supposed to feel like bad people for enjoying beauty in the opposite sex?

I feel like women enjoy seeing attractive men also.

 

[bucyou]

da fuk? part of the fun of watching is seeing the beautiful women from countries around the world

 

[LordPezix]

Who the hell watches soccer?

 

[Papa]

It’s the perverse equality of Harrison Bergeron come to life. Gotta handicap the strong for the self-esteem of the weak. I’m just waiting for Vonnegut to be called alt-right.

 

[dolabla]

Who the hell watches soccer?

Reported!

 

[Vicetrailia]

This goes against my interests

 

[dolabla]

How they gonna say you can't look at that ^^^

 

[brap]

How they gonna say you can't look at that ^^^

Remove that fucking pic right now and stop being a gross sexist and misogynist!!!!! Stop objectifying her!!!

 

[Papa]

How they gonna say you can't look at that ^^^

Yikes, disgusting trash dumpster fire

 

[Dice]

Ah yes, attractive-shaming. The ultimate revolution. Down with the attractive bourgeois!

 

[Nobody_Important]

Who the hell watches soccer?

You mean other than the entire planet?


Nobody.

 

[Papa]

You mean other than the entire planet?


Nobody.

Nobody important, anyway.

 

[Mochilador]

This is insane.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Nobody important, anyway.

Yeah because the majority of the population on earth is not important right?



Good lord.

 

[Papa]

Yeah because the majority of the population on earth is not important right?



Good lord.

Whoosh

 

[Liberty4all]

It's bullshit.

All haters.

 

[jonnyp]

Who the hell watches soccer?

Americans. The rest of the world watches football.

 

[LordPezix]

Whoosh

SSstttrrrriiiiiikkkkkeeeee, YOU'RE OUT! lol

 

[Russo]

Americans. The rest of the world watches football.

Explained nicely.

 

[Russo]

How they gonna say you can't look at that ^^^

They are looking so pretty.
why FIFA says to stop broadcasting attractive female?

 

[DESTROYA]

FIFA is stupid to even bring this up, why not just ban all women from the stadium....yeah that’ll be a great idea!
Maybe they should stop playing commercials of attractive women too, I’m sure the sponsors would love that.

 

[Russo]

This is insane.

Is attractive girl is more attractive than football?

 

[Dunki]

They need to train for Qatar anyway.

I've seen fair amount of both pretty and ugly fans during the game but I think FIFA is probably upset that when an attractive woman is in the shot, everyone start talking about her.

They aren't called ATTRACTIVE women for nothing.

 

[Harksteed]

Is this what we're gonna pretend we're upset about today?

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Pretty girls spark jealousy in too many women (and even men) these days. Sadly, I expect them to become rarer in video games and TV as time goes on, because of this.

 

[Scopa]

Yes. Let’s change a wonderful thing to satiate a bunch of professional whingers that don’t watch football.

Too bad for all those gorgeous ladies who willingly doll themselves up, put on skimpy shorts, paint themselves in their national colours and head to a World Cup game for the main purpose of being part of the spectacle and getting on camera. Too bad for them. Too bad for people that like to look at nice things.

I have to wonder if the whingers have ever been attracted to anyone ever or ever even had sex. It’s doubtful.

These idiots fail to realise they are fast-forwarding themselves into some gray, drab, Soviet-like sexless society.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Put em on the glass - FIFA

Spoiler

plot

(ESPN does it 2)

 

[Grinchy]

So, from now on, everyone who gets shown is being told that they're ugly enough to be shown. That's nice.

 

[mckmas8808]

They are looking so pretty.
why FIFA says to stop broadcasting attractive female?

Because they have no idea what they are doing. This is the dumbest story of the week.

 

[manfestival]

That feeling when now they are only gonna show the ugliest people to combat years and years of pretty women being cutaway to.

 

[BANGS]

What a shame, now any woman who does get shown is basically being called ugly...

 

[dionysus]

This reminds me of Brent Musburger during the CFB national championship.

 

[iorek21]

hahahaha

Every day that passes convinces me further that we're living in Black Mirror

 

[Enygger_Tzu]

Well, more proof that feminism is hateful towards women and envious towards men.

This is just the beginning.

 

[Ka-Kui]

Shit, I liked seeing the attractive women...
