I know this might not seem like a post related to women’s football or even related to AWFC but I promise you it’s one of the most relevant ones because it relates to understanding or trying to understand our emotions which I think is lacking from what we can see online sometimes…at the end of the day we could all use more empathy when it comes to the players, their decision making and their lives in general.
I’m not here to change anyone or to imply I have my stuff together. The same way I am not in the business of making misogynistic men interested or respectful of women’s football, I’m also not in the business of converting people who talk about player’s personal lives etc into people that don’t.
If empathy is important then self empathy is very important as well. It’s all a hard subject and we never perfect it, we just try to be more and more empathetic and also check ourselves when we can and approach things differently for some perspective from time to time.
There’s an Instagram/Twitter account that I love called The New Happy which you can find here:

It’s an incredible source of positivity, of empowerment, of empathy and it helps me understand my feelings and myself more and more.
Understanding what being a fan is implies respect and responsibility and those things are hard without empathy and empathy is hard without those two as well.
Among the reasons why The New Happy is so good it’s because it offers a visual representation of a lot of the things that we are trying to “see” but we can’t until we literally see them illustrated for us.
Check it out and tell me your thoughts!
