Serena? Really??

Sometimes Arsenal FC just shoot themselves in both feet and everyone else’s feet around them. They try so hard to do something cool but its as if they are consulting the worst people possible and even if they had good intentions they just continuously miss the mark and end up being so tone deaf.

First thins first: I LOVE SERENA WILLIAMS. She is a goddess. Every single human on earth should admire her and look up to her and I absolutely love that there are other men that, like me, think she is a hell of a role model. Not taking anything away from here.

A few days ago we celebrated International Women’s Day and they asked a few of the Arsenal men players who was the most inspirational female athlete of all time. Literally any Arsenal Woman player was there. Literally say any one of them, past or present. I don’t care if Serena has accomplished “more” than any of our players have… that’s not the point. The point is that they and the club, had such a massive opportunity to make some young men follow whatever their favorite footballers say and point them in the direction of AWFC.

Would it truly hurt to say Rachel Yankey? Kelly Smith? Leah Williamson? KIM LITTLE FFS ?!! Hell you can even just say Alessia Russo…

What an opportunity missed but that’s ok because they’ll sell us more merch in a few weeks!!!!
