I love the growth of the game. I honestly and truly do and I hope it keeps going and going. It’s what women deserve, it’s what little girls deserve and it’s also what all kinds of people deserve. We all deserve the sport to grow. It has infinite benefits to us all.
I only started seriously following women’s football in 2019 during the World Cup and the growth I have seen in every way, shape and form in the sport has been nothing short of astonishing. I’m talking about growth and expansion and evolution in all areas of all areas of all areas of the sport. I have honestly never seen anything like it.
It seems like the athleticism has progressed and the players are just better and better. New blogs, podcasts and YouTube shows enter into the space exponentially. The community as a whole has mind blowing reach. The brands that are supporting the sport get bigger and basically anything you can think about related to the sport is growing and getting better.
Of course there are things that can be better. UEFA can do better, FIFA can do better. Society can do better, and so on. Among the things that I wish were different or better is the involvement on questionable owners and where their money comes from.
I love the idea of Arsenal having competition but what I dislike is the growth of Chelsea and Man City, two clubs that are among the biggest financial dopers in the history of sports. I have a lot of empathy and I understand why players would play for those teams but the idea of having Putin’s best friend be your boss and the guy that signs your checks sits very bad with me. I’m not judging the players, I’m judging the fact that he is allowed to be in that position.
Why must we allow dirty hands to have an impact, as positive as it has been, on the game we love? Well, that’s life and nothing is perfect and I’m sure fans of those teams have different opinions. Moreover, I might need to rethink my opinions but as it stands, I’m completely ok with the thought of Man City being sanctioned and Chelsea being relegated just because I don’t like them.
