  • New Aussie bar leaves drinkers divided with its VERY woke rule about what sort of sport is shown TV

    New Aussie bar leaves drinkers divided with its VERY woke rule about what sort of sport is shown TV

    Australia’s first sports bar designed specifically for women has opened on Oxford Street in Sydney – but drinkers are divided about what can be shown on the TV.

    The two-storey venue, named The Ladies League, opened in August this year with the aim of playing nothing but women’s sport from open until close.

    The founder of the establishment, Rose Valente, says there’s a huge demand for a venue where people can watch women’s sports together.

    ‘When I got into football, I’d sometimes go to bars and not really feel comfortable,’ Valente told ABC.

    ‘There can be so much stupidity and negativity around women’s sport; even when you watch men’s sport, you can go to some toxic sports bars where you’re questioned about being a fan or whatever. 

    ‘Something deep inside me was like: we need somewhere for women’s sports fans to gather. Australia doesn’t have anything like this.’

    The bar, which opened during the Paris Olympics, is proving a hit but some fans object to it being female-focused.

    ‘Just be a sports bar,’ posted one fan on TLL’s Instagram page.

    ‘Imagine we had a men only bar!’ commented another

    ‘But having a all males barber shop makes the feminists go crazy lol,’ replied a third.

    Some said female fans should support teams by attending matches, with one commenter posting: ‘I think it’s an awesome idea. Love watching women’s sport and a big fan however this is a fad and won’t last long. It’s the same reason women’s sport won’t grow much bigger. Not enough women get out to support it.’ 

    Other fans praised the pioneering concept and said they’ll be visiting the bar soon.

    ‘Can’t wait to catch an NRLW game there,’ said one.

    ‘Love it! More of these please!’ replied another.

    ‘Will be in for a beer soon! Love it! Can’t wait to watch @hawthornaflw,’ posted a third.

    In the USA, a women’s sports bar named The Sports Bra opened in Portland in 2022 and reportedly made almost $1million in its first year.

    However, banks in Australia knocked back Valente for a loan, saying the venture was ‘too risky’, but she forged ahead with the project and has huge support from fans, and professional female athletes, across the country. 

    ‘I have 100 per cent faith that I’m going to, at the very minimum, get my money back: that’s how much faith I have in the women’s sport community,’ she said.

    ‘That’s how confident I am that women’s sport needs a space like this. I’m willing to put every single dollar I have into it. I don’t care that I couldn’t get a loan for it; I knew I had to do it and needed to make it happen. Banks don’t see passion.

    ‘The community is so wholesome. It has been so supportive. And I think if you’re doing something positive, the community gives back to you; we all help each other, we all want to make each other better. You can really feel that in this place.’

    Although the bar is committed to showing women’s sports, Valente says she’s open to showing men’s sport if the game is particularly important. 

    ‘It comes down to what our customers want,’ Valente said. ‘I enjoy men’s sport as well as women’s sport, but our core values are extremely important.

    ‘We will always support women’s sport, and I think the World Cup and the Olympics really sold a lot of people on just how amazing our women athletes are.

    ‘They’re very marketable. People want to watch them. So we’re giving people what they want.’

  • Great British Bake Off Halloween special is slapped with a ‘woke’ trigger warning for younger viewers – before noticing the accidental error

    Great British Bake Off Halloween special is slapped with a ‘woke’ trigger warning for younger viewers – before noticing the accidental error

    Channel 4 issued an accidental warning on an old Halloween-themed episode of the Great British Bake Off.

    The special spooky episode aired in 2022 during the baking show’s 13th series, with the bakers set to making dishes inspired by the holiday.

    But according to The Sun, on Channel 4’s streaming service the episode was marked with a guidance message, warning the content wasn’t suitable for younger viewers.

    The first Halloween Week show saw the iconic Bake Off tent aptly decorated with skeletons, spiderwebs and balloons.

    While judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood tasked the contestants with whipping up apple and pumpkin bakes for them to try.

    The guidance warnings are usually reserved for material that can be potentially harmful or offensive, such as strong language, violence, graphic images and sexual behaviour, with more extensive rules surrounding content for under-18s.

    According to Channel 4’s compliance guide, which is based on the recommendations of the Ofcom Code: ‘Paranormal practices which are for entertainment purposes, as opposed to those which purport to be real, can be broadcast before the watershed but not when significant numbers of children are likely to be watching.’

    The Sun claims the warning remained in place until they got in touch with broadcaster and it was removed, with Channel 4 insisting it had been an error.

    MailOnline has contacted representatives for Channel 4 for comment. 

    It comes after the Great British Bake Off’s spin-off show, An Extra Slice, was hit by backlash this month, as it was accused of sharing a ‘harmful message’.

    Following Bread Week, presenters Jo Brand and Tom Allen were joined by guests Jonathan Ross, Ravneet Gill and Josh Pugh to discuss the episode.

    However, after poking fun at coelic disease, the show was hit by criticism from both viewers and a leading charity for ‘undermined the seriousness’ of the condition.

    Speaking on the show, Jonathan had declared: ‘I’ve never met a loaf I didn’t love’ while Josh echoed he had ‘never met anyone who didn’t like bread’.

    But according to The Sun, on Channel 4's streaming service the episode was marked with a guidance message, warning the content wasn't suitable for younger viewers

    Ravneet had then added: ‘Well I love bread but my Mum’s coeliac so she shouldn’t eat bread, but she still loves it, she still eats it.’

    Jo responded: ‘Good for her,’ while Jonathan joked: ‘And good for whoever cleans up after her.’

    Since then the charity Coeliac UK has written an open letter, which was also shared on Instagram, to the producers of the show ‘expressing concern’. 

    The letter, which is signed by chief executive officer Hilary Croft, reads: ‘These comments trivialise coeliac disease and send a harmful message to the public. 

    ‘Coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition where the ingestion of gluten triggers an immune response that damages the gut lining, leading to nutrient malabsorption and a host of potential health complications. 

    ‘Even the smallest crumb of gluten can cause severe symptoms, including debilitating pain, prolonged suffering and even recurrent miscarriage, as long-term health risks such as osteoporosis and, in rare cases, small bowel cancer. 

    ‘It is crucial to emphasis that coeliac disease is not a food preference or an allergy; it is a serious medical condition that requires lifelong adherence to a strict gluten free diet’.

    They continued: ‘We are particularly disheartened by Ravneet Gill’s comments given her previous role as a judge on the Junior Bake Off, where she displayed compassion for those that have been diagnosed with coeliac disease.

    ‘The remarks made during An Extra Slice perpetuate a narrative that dismisses the severity of this condition. 

    ‘They suggest that individuals with coeliac disease should compromise their health for the sake of enjoyment, which undermines the very real challenges they face and ultimately puts their health at risk.

    ‘Furthermore, the laughter in response to these comments trivilaises the struggles of the 1 in 100 individuals in the UK affected by this condition. 

    ‘It is critical that media representations acknowledge the seriousness of coeliac disease and the physical and mental health implications of adhering to a gluten free diet. 

    ‘Discussions around gluten free diet should promote accurate understanding, respect, and accommodation for dietary needs rather than downplaying their significance.’

    The charity added: ‘We are hopeful that this incident will encourage your team to engage in respectful conversations regarding coeliac disease and its impact on individuals and families.’

    In the caption of the post, the Coeliac UK account said they will be ‘following up with the producers’ of the hit show and requested an ‘on-air apology for the harmful portrayal of the disease’. 

    Fans were left disappointed by the show and quickly took to the comments of the letter to share their thoughts and thank the charity.

    ‘So sad. You wouldn’t make jokes about someone having bowel cancer and having to clean up afterwards; How irresponsible, coeliac disease is serious and you treated like a joke’.

    ‘Yet again this life threatening and changing disease has been down played by people who do not take time to research and understand.’

    ‘So frustrating when we are all working so hard to raise awareness of coeliac disease in the right ways. It’s especially frustrating when a programme isn’t even live and was prerecorded as it could have been stopped from being aired.’

    ‘It is upsetting when programmes like this make a joke of it by implying that a gluten free diet is just a lifestyle choice when in fact those of use who have been diagnosed with coeliac disease have no choice because it can affect our health in so many ways.’
