Indian opener Shafali Verma sent out Aussie batter Beth Mooney in a tense moment during the India vs. Australia T20 World Cup semifinal. Verma, who is…
i don't know if you guys have been keeping up with the women's world cup but this past sunday spain won against england. and you would think this would be the best moment of their careers and their lives but you wanna know what happened?
the spanish football federation's president non-consensually kissed one of the players, jenni hermoso, on the mouth when they were celebrating. this grown ass man took it upon himself to ruin the celebration for ALL the women who just achieved the thing they have been preparing for all their lives, literally the peak of a football player's career, they did it and he by himself ruined it.
and i say all the women because the other players, along 58 currently inactive and ex-players, stood up for jenni hermoso and have refused to play for the team until luis rubiales publicly apologizes and renounces his spot. now the rfef says they'll take legal action against the players and jenni for lying and because they have an obligation to play for the team.
do you remember how the men's world cup celebrations went? i do, im from argentina. no one said anything to any of the players, they were treated like kings for months and they are worshipped to this day. and rightfully so! they earned it i guess. but we do see the discrepancy?
how is it that we allow as a society for one man to sexually assault a woman right after achieving the thing another group of men got ceaselessly venerated for not even a year later? what do women have to do to earn respect? win the world cup? become the pride and joy of their country?
It should not have taken the entire women’s football community voicing the disgust and wrong doing of the RFEF and the public actions of that bald fool for his resignation.
The Jamaican girls should not have had to create a GoFundMe page to get to Australia to compete.
The Canadian team should not have had to go public about their lack of pay.
It should not have taken the early departure of the USWNT to get Vlatko out.
The Zambian team should not have had to voice their issues of sexual abuse and misconduct of their coach.
So many other issues out there from so many other countries that should not even be in existence.
It should not take the players announcing to the world that there are issues for them to be taken seriously. Players should be able to feel comfortable enough to speak with their federations about problems and know that changes will be made and that they will not be singled out or become a victim of backlash. Treat female footballers with the same professionalism and respect you treat the males.
drama I’ve been alerted to tonight that I think you all need to know:
germany wnt’s current manager (martina) dated the current manager of switzerland wnt (inka) back when they were teammates. inka cheated on martina and so martina left the national team bc inka was undroppable. martina then married a man and said she wasn’t gay anymore (she’s 55 so I’m letting it slide lmao). inka then dated another teammate (linda) and cheated on her with a male manager. linda then dated the same manager later on. also inka became the first woman to take over a german mens team in the top four tiers and she took the job from martina’s husband.
football is the best sport and nothing comes close.
Cab we get the story behind the alexia glasses that jenni and misa wore like who made it etc
ah, yes. so there are slightly different stories as to the origin of the glasses, but it looks like misa got a pair from some fans at the world cup during the celebrations in the stadium. a fan had already written "alexia" on them and these goofballs being the way they are "borrowed" the glasses from the fan and celebrated with them in the locker room, as we saw on the ig lives. it's just another way that misa and jenni teased alexia during the world cup 😂 (like when jenni saw an australian ibis during practice and named it alexia!)
