Hope Solo is a legend. Would be anyones perfect gf for sure. I would love to be with a woman footballer, especially someone like her. Yes please.

Its like theyve done the Homophobia in Football thing couple of weeks ago, which was FA window dressing, and now theyre doing the sexism thing-

...bottom line is fuck all will change about either any time soon

I think that there is the part that the institutions play in fighting against racism,sexism and antisemitism but then there is also the individual behavoir of the fans, the players everyday that matter to be changed. Whishfull thinking, i know. Like Chelsea (do other clubs do it as well? ) did against Tottenham to install extra secruity staff to make sure that the chants against jewish people weren´t going is a very good thing but it just puts the lid on some of the peoples behavior and they might go on and sing these things in the pub anyway. As i was saying, it is one thing to relay on the FA, but it is another to take documentaries like these seriously and try to cut out the bullshit, basicially.

If they really want to stamp out inequality at all levels they need to start at the top. FIFA is corrupt. The World Cup is Qatar is solely about bribes and money and is being staged in the most homophobic/sexist country in the World bar Saudi Arabia .. and Blatters comment about ''probably best for homosexuals to stay away'' although totally inappropriate, shows how football at the top table is unaccountable to anyone except to those immovable few that sit there.

I believe sexism in football is a Gray area.

Lads if you want to know what it is like to be woman, watch the Season 2 episode of Red Dward entitles: "Parallel Universe".
