I remember when a common insult was that women footballers were all ugly lesbians that look like boys. Now they care too much about their looks or something.
I have to laugh when I see them interviewed. As well as speaking in cliches like the men most of them are covered in tattooâs, seen a few with full sleeves. I wonder if theyâd have them if they worked in an office or something. All seems very contrived.
Just Googled her and it was mainly pictures of her in various football kits and probably too much makeup. Are you signed up to the Footballers Bums Facebook group?
Sheâs one of the few female footballers to come out as gay, something thatâs unfortunately still completely unheard of in menâs football. Makeup aside, itâs a matter of taste. I donât think every male footballer has a great body or a stylish hairstyle. Itâs simply unnecessary to comment on it. I find such statements completely inappropriate. Body shaming should have no place here.

There are certainly countless young boys who copy the looks of their idols, be it Ronaldo or Bellinghamâs hairstyles or whoever. But are we so worried that theyâre not focusing enough on their talent? I think I already know the answer.
Yep, I think Iâd better stop reading here, there have already been enough illuminating insights on this topic.

I have to say one final thing: Itâs presumably very rare for heterosexual girls to have lesbian/bisexual role models and emulate them. Parents shouldnât really worry about that. But for girls, who have doubts about their sexuality, she could be a very brave role model who simply stands up for who she is.
The relevant point throughout is the FA ban on womenâs football. At the time these women were getting record crowds.
FIFA under âtoday I feel like a giant bellendâ suggested growing the game with shorter halfâs and other random bollocks and yet if Iâm honest you want to expand it then the female fan is probably the best option. Silly tournaments in places that will never massively Increase the reach of the game wonât.
