Yes I am old-fashioned but I don't like Fox online promoting Watson and Prespakis as a same sex AFLW couple. Apparently this is news-worthy but we don't openly hear about any same sex couples among the AFL players. I'd prefer these couples to keep their friendships to themselves and not have it put on public display.

Should same sex couples in AFLW be promoted as news?

I don’t like it when the banana I bought on Tuesday goes off by Wednesday and turns mushy .... but ive learnt to deal with the reality of the situation and buy more green ones that last longer ... now you all know too.
Agree. they shouldnt promote siblings playing against each other either. they should keep those relationships private.
Indeed, but I think the point here is that they're both AFLW players. If for instance Dusty and Cotch hooked up (and let's face it, it's not entirely out of the question) it would be the kind of news that gets it's own show on Fox Footy. So the newsworthiness is in the uniqueness of the situation not strictly that they're gay.
Reckon the media is simply manipulating the system, waiting for the big money news breaker of a male AFL player leaping out of the closet.
Media's been steadily pushing since Erin Phillips n her partner went the public pash n then Mo Hope n her partner. They keep pumping up the same sex scenario regarding the women while drooling over the probability of a male outing himself. Nothing to do with accepting that it simply exists, all about the chance to pump up the hype n " knock down the wall ".

My Daughter's friend was a trainer at a woman football club and observed that about 80% of the players were lesbian so it would stand to reason that some were couples.
In the mens football maybe and that is a big maybe you may have one or two gay players at a club so the odds of getting a gay couple at a club would be very slim.

And you know what BR, this bloke is more news worthy than a couple of loved up sheilas. Maybe none of it is news worthy, but every news outlet needs an earn.
A bloke at work coaches a women's team and 22 of the 30 are lesbians. Some are in relationships with teammates, some with opponents, some are exes of others. Part and parcel of women's footy and has traditionally been a turn-off for potential sponsors of women's sport.
