No Female Coaches - fluff needed
Well FUMBBL is very fun, really, but this astonishing lacking of females is very peculiar. Once I played a little TableTop Blood Bowl regional tournament, about 30 coaches joined it and two of them were women. Now, there are 68261 coaches in FUMBLL. That means that, in proportion, we should have some chicks here.
Imagine how good it would be:
<Female Coach> I got diced here
<Male Coach> Yeah, I'm sorry
<FC> You also killed my legend
<MC> I didn't meant to do that. If you'd live in my town I'd buy you a drink to apologize.
<FC> But I DO live next to you, I checked on your profile. Only 30 minutes by car. I've got nothing to do tonight, my friends are busy, I am single and I feel a bit alone, really could use a night out...
<At that point you're already in your car, driving 80 kilometers above the legal speed limit, one hand on the steering wheel, brushing your teeth with the other one, Motorhead in the stereo, pockets packed with condoms, a gun on the passenger's seat in case police tried to put itself between you and your date>
Why can't it be like this? Why there are female players like Amazons and Elf Witches, but no female coaches? Is BloodBowl too violent? Is FUMBBL sexist? A terrible plague struck the Warhammer Universe and killed all the beings with boobs? A wizard casted a spell that turned all of us blind, unable to see the women?
Fluff is needed. Really.

there are at least 2 women on this site I know of. They probably just don't get involved in the forums or blogs like the majority of the site really. Just play their games and go.
Also the fact you think if there are female coaches they would just openly invite people round to sleep with them is probably why they stay quiet :)
p.s. it looks to me like you've been watching too much porn recently ;)
hehe

How many female coaches are there in real life football? (soccer, and American football)

There, I fixed that for you

Why a d12?
To fight Gary Gygax you need a d20.

n1 Crook, rated 6.
-1 to Fumbbl for rating this so badly!
And then fluff uh.... most girls aren't really into strategy games? And if I were a girl I'd probably try to keep that fact very well hidden. All those desperate nerds... you never know which one lives too close to avoid.

There was a coach I thought was female, once. But it just turned out to be a dude who was into cosplay...
Maybe all the female coaches are offended by the client referring to every player as 'he', even when you set their gender to female?

So many of the women on the internet are actually dudes cybercrossdressing... pursue with caution (unless you are into that sort of thing).

Some coaches here whine enough as is about a loss; could you imagine the amount of whining that would be done by these coaches if they lost to a girl?

My girlfriend would love Blood Bowl and be awesome at it, but then she wouldn't have time to do all the washing up and iron my shirts so I keep it secret.
This is a joke, obviously. My girlfriend is rubbish at ironing.

Well Crook is an Italian! Ride to fast ...
But Crook beware, if you ride there ... and she was diced ... you shouldn't wonder if the door opens and a ClawPOMB happens!!!
or imagine a t16 foul ... ouch ... this wouldn't be only pixlkilling ...
afterward you would play a bit stunty!

the game is cruel and there are no happy endings for any of the players on the team. that's not the kind of fantasy world chicks dig.

Try spamming mumsnet with fumbbl links. Eg: 'hey mums! stuck at home all day? just done your last money on foxy bingo? fumbbl is a free way to have fun and pass the time! Do you like blood, beards and big guys? this is the place for you...etc'

Well this was funny.
But in the past there were a few females. I think most of which were girlfriends of other coaches.
My favorite was World_Wide_Wamp. She was living with another coach. She held good banter, even though English was a 2nd or 3rd language to her.
Mikafreak, later renamed to Angie was a diligent admin who took no nonsense.
The others that come to mind, may or may not have really been females, so I won't mention them here...

The sexist part is true. There is a lot of machoism on the site. Even if it is better than some gaming site, there still is.
There is some bullying on the site, even though the rules and admins try to curb some of it.
There are some reasons, why many local pubs have mostly men as clientele, at least around here.
