A very subjective look into AWFC

Can you imagine for a second what it would take to do a 27 hour long podcast? That’s not a typo, I literally mean twenty seven hours. That’s what my friend Gooner Mike did last week! His yearly pod-athon to raise funds to continue the fight against cancer was an utter success and he, alongside so many generous donors, Arsenal FC and more, was able to surpass his yearly goal already and has raised over 30k dollars! This is something so big and incredible and the amount of work that it took to put that together, all the guests, the segments, the topics, the auctions, the items donated, the laughs, THE ARSENAL SPIRIT.

I was lucky enough to be part of this event, on the closing hours as a matter of fact and I got a chance to talk a lot about Arsenal Women. This was not only an honor in and of itself which was only amplified by the fact that among the others guests were Kevin Campbell, Sophie Nicolaou, Alan Smith, Pete Drury, Jim Proudfoot, etc. Absolute madness. It’s all on YouTube and all you have to do is search for Gooners v Cancer.

At some point we spoke about, and I’m paraphrasing here, how the game needs to keep growing and growing and how the trolls, the haters, the misogynists, always seem to end up asking this: “what more do women want?” This question is so absurd and it lacks so much common sense and empathy that in my opinion, it has only one answer: TO NOT BE ASKED THAT QUESTION EVER AGAIN. Among the ridiculousness of that question is that these people would never ask that of men. No chance in hell they would. Plus, I just think that if you have someone in your life that asks that question its just about the biggest red flag there can be.

Not a lot of news to chat about today and I’m also knee deep in rehearsals and I’m not sure how I will be able to post this week but I’m trying my best and if I’m able to keep my daily posting streak going I will be very proud of myself haha.
