A very subjective look into AWFC

I’ve pointed out in the past couple of posts and also on my podcast how I have been taking somewhat of a break from social media, specifically from Twitter. There are numerous reasons for this, more than I care to talk about but we all know how that site is terrible and has become worse and worse ever since El*n M*sk bought it. It’s not what it used to be.

The level of freedom and reduced anxiety that I have felt as it relates to just AWFC and women’s football is absolutely phenomenal. I’m not seeing people arguing, reading arbitrary opinions, I don’t see any rumors, any hatred towards players either. I don’t see the same bit of “news” reposted by 27 different bot-like accounts with zero verification on the truth of any of it.

I feel so free. Disconnected, but free and I’m totally ok with that. Of course I’m also disconnected with politics and with random but necessary things that have ultimately been very distracting and I don’t think there’s any coincidence as to why I have gotten some things done that I’ve been putting off and I have also been trying a slightly different daily routine and I feel very, very good.

Letting go has been very beneficial and I keep thinking about how the players feel, knowing that there are hundreds if not thousands of people writing about them. I’m guilty of that for sure, I literally talk about players every single day, so I guess I’m not helping.

I second guess this blog and my podcast all the time. The idea of being on the other side and seeing some random dude in LA talk about ME would be horrific so don’t be surprised if one day I just totally shut it down.

Trying to be respectful and also add content and help the game grow in my own way is something that is not only interesting but the main fuel. Doesn’t always come out that way but my intention isn’t to talk about people but the adjacent stuff.

Anyway, here’s the latest episode of That Arsenal Women Podcast
