The old dinosaur Jeremy Clarkson claims he likes women’s football. In fact, he wrote a column about it for The Sunday Times, saying he had found the Lionesses’ Euros final “exciting”. Great! Progress, right? Well... not quite.
Because in the very same breath, he compared that excitement to what he imagines he’d feel watching cow racing: “Cows can jump over hedges. I know they can. I’ve seen them do it, and it’s very funny. But imagine how joyous it would be if there were 34 of them doing it, at the same time.”
