A very subjective look into AWFC

We all saw the squad pic and we all love it. It’s amazing. I love all the girls and staff. I truly do, but what has been making the rounds on twitter is the convo about the obvious lack of diversity in the squad.

I’m not going to assume anything or imply anything, because I just don’t have any info and it’s none of my business anyway but my opinion on this will be centered around the fact the one of the reasons I fell in love with arsenal was because I watched Ian Wright, Kevin Campbell and David Rocastle on VHS tapes growing up and felt I looked like them. They had a skin color similar to mine and I saw myself in the club.

Representation matters and if it did for me, just a fan, imagine what it can and does mean to a young black girl who wants to play for the Arsenal today. There’s not a lot there to be identified with based on this alone.

Lianne, Alex, Rachel, Dan etc etc etc. These are historic women and there are so many historic women in the making that could be part of Arsenal and quite frankly they should.

Villa preview coming late tonight or early tomorrow.
