“Hey ladies - why should the boys have all the fun?”

If you’ve been perusing Twitter or Facebook today, chances are you’ve stumbled upon a mention of something called a Ladyball at some point. Endorsed by former Dublin footballer Ger Brennan, it’s described as a ball that’s “specially designed for a lady's game - soft-touch for a woman's grip, eazi-play for a woman's ability and fashion-driven for a woman's style”. Check out the promo video below. https://youtu.be/5bWbIZl0G5s The YouTube blurb also includes a couple of slogans that are being used to launch the product, such as “It's a revolution in evolution”, “The all-new Ladyball, play like the lady you are,” and “Hey ladies - why should the boys have all the fun? We can play ball too...Introducing the all-new Ladyball”. As well as the YouTube promo and website, the Ladyball Twitter account has been very active on social media today. https://twitter.com/theladyball_com/status/687307493383483396 https://twitter.com/theladyball_com/status/687265410987601921 https://twitter.com/theladyball_com/status/687299581143609344 To say that the response has been mixed would be something of an understatement, with many even suggesting that it can't possibly be real. https://twitter.com/TodayFMNews/status/687306283247104001 https://twitter.com/sweetpmac/status/687300593338179588 https://twitter.com/ElaineBucko/status/687307303784157184 https://twitter.com/RosesandRockets/status/687306966734082049 https://twitter.com/JadeODoherty/status/687305619162935296 https://twitter.com/GeraghtyDarren/status/687304383424507904 https://twitter.com/DublinByMouth/status/687312779750043649 https://twitter.com/VonnyR7/status/687309373450928128 https://twitter.com/notoriousTBC/status/687308286232772608 https://twitter.com/JamieChafield/status/687313726471581697 https://twitter.com/ImogenMcN/status/687294718993141760 https://twitter.com/garethgregan/status/687281653551599616 What do you think?
