The silence of the lads’;

Musa Okwonga nails it yet again on football and social issues.

I’ll also add, that it isn’t a necessary requirement for male players who have spoken out to condemn (Rubiales), sexism and misogyny - to do so ‘as a father with ‘daughters’.

Remember when Rishi Sunak said he was working so hard for us that it hurts? Well, he's decided against attending the UN General Assembly, because he can't be bothered. But don't worry, he's sending Oliver Dowden and James Cleverly instead. https://www.ft.com/content...

There’s an international window coming up. Spain’s men’s team should declare they will refuse to play unless Rubiales & his senior team go with him.

LaLiga players should take some form of direct action this weekend to show solidarity with Spanish women players. #Solidarity

Solidarity with Jenni Hermoso and her teammates. ✊🏾

It goes without saying that women and girls should never be exposed to a sexist, misogynist, hostile workplace.

Male players all over the world also have a *duty* to stand in solidarity with the Spanish women players.

"Mr. Rubiales himself has admitted it was an error and has apologized."

This is embarrassing.

Barça didn’t even mention Jenni Hermoso by name - who is a club legend.

Spanish football is morally rotten to the core.

“pick the right battles”

“convince us”

In other words, if women can convince [Men in power] - that women are worthy of respect, dignity and equality - we [FIFA] may open our doors and grant women human rights at our grace and discretion.

Unbelievable!

A much needed piece with Football still struggling with being *genuinely* inclusive.

Sadly, FIFAcom & Nat Assocs see LGBTQIA+ rights, and respect for human rights of minorities - as an opportunity for PR and brand building exercise.

History.

Morocco defender Nouhaila Benzina is the first player to wear a hijab while competing at a senior-level Women's World Cup.

Up until 2014, FIFA had prohibited the wearing of hijabs as part of football apparel in matches.
