SIR
 
I would like to express my horror and disgust at the section ‘Boot Room Banter’ published on the Wales Online website. This forum for those interested in football news and gossip also provides material for perverts to drool over the ‘bum of the week’ or the ’sexy, snowy launch of Cream Ibiza Dance Workout DVD’.
  
“Women’s football”, the site asks, ”a game played only by plain girls with big shoulders and tree trunk thighs? Think again people..Boot Room Banter has scoured the world for the finest the game has to offer and we’ve come up with some surprisingly positive results.” Cue pictures of scantily clad women and childish innuendo. 
I’m sure the ‘writers’ who have to research the “nicest rear end in sport” enjoy their work but it’s time they were given a proper reporting job, particularly when others in the media are losing theirs.
 
For the company that publishes the ‘National Newspaper of Wales’ to condone this sort of chauvinism on its website is a disgrace. Women’s football and Wales Online’s female readers should be given more respect.
 
Please remove it.
 
 
 
Update: The links have now been removed from the ‘Boot Room Banter’ homepage.  We seem to have touched a raw nerve – need to keep up the pressure
