The growth of the game has been massive and we have all seen the exponential enormity of it all, especially in the last few years and to be more specific, when the lionesses won the Euros the game was just undeniably gigantic.
You would think more things around the game would match said growth, said progress and said merit but very often we are reminded that the women’s sport seems to be in prehistoric stages because of prehistoric men will do whatever they can to keep that as a constant.
The news about the clown show that is going down at ManUtd is sad and infuriating but let me remind you that there are hundreds of things happening behind the scenes at many if not all clubs that are messed up, that are terrible and that will take generations to eliminate and this seemingly eternal fight is why we as fans need to do whatever we can to help the players, to check the clubs and to express how much more we know the players.
It breaks my heart reading former players, pundits, journalists and women in any/all positions in football and in life really, express their disappointment in what is happening, I hate it, and I hate it with a passion.
What more do ManUtd women have to do? They just the FA Cup for fuck’s sake.
There is a sense of urgency that we cannot overlook and I also can appreciate how overwhelming it is and how we all can feel like there’s nothing we can do. I certainly don’t know what things can be done specially for us fans that live away from our club’s city but I’m always open to hear and to see various kinds of initiatives.
One thing that irks me however is how some people on my feed are so quick to hate on ManUtd but never said a single negative word about our current manager. They never mention him screaming at players, pushing them, what he did to Viv and Mana, etc. It’s very, very telling and I need to curate my timeline better.
I’m expecting, like all of you, tons of departures from that team and when they do, there is not way in hell that they will be competitive any time soon.
We should buy Le Tessier either way.
