Empathy is paramount in life. Also, as a fan of women’s football I’ve grown to practice more empathy and I have become, I’d like to think, someone that has the ability to put myself in other people’s shoes. I’d like to think that I have an open mind and heart as it relates to imagining how hard female footballers have had to fight, battle and such.
Regardless of how much I may try, regardless of how long I have been married, regardless of how open and willing to listen I am, as a man, the reality is that I simply cannot understand what it’s like to live through the biological cycles that women experience.
This post ins’t about trying to explain it, nor is it about assuming that I have the least amount of comprehension of the topic, physiology, menstrual cycles, hormones or anything at all, really. What I do want to express is how happy I am that the lionesses have decided to start using blue shorts instead of the traditionally white ones.
As you know, AWFC use white shorts on the home kit and I think it’s only a matter of time until that changes. Why wouldn’t it? It makes sense to me. Whatever situation applies to white shorts, doesn’t matter if it’s for the national team or a club team.
I understand tradition and things like that but there has to be a time where things shift and compromises are made. I mean… women footballers have been making compromises their entire lives.
It’s only fair.
