In reality it applies to the money and EA having women in ultimate team, but I'm not getting into something political on here. If you think about how many people focus purely on meta and are extremely competitive in the game, and include people like me that aren't really fussed, then you would most likely have somewhere around a 50/50 split on keeping or removing women from ultimate team.
There is nothing inherently bad about women being in ultimate team. There will always be meta players that a lot of people rely on, and the best will remain mostly unobtainable for various reasons. I have some meta players but also use some players for fun and female players just add another layer to that. The game will always be the way it is, and I think the bigger issue in general is how inconsistent the game can be.
