you have to remember that the rainbow laces campaign is already a compromise. on behalf of queer fans feeling endangered and unwelcome, stonewall communicated with the fa and prem about ways to make football safe and open to everyone. in an ideal world, there’d be outreach 1/2

it’s an interesting group. i’ll preface this by saying i’m incredibly unimpressed by flaherty’s attempt at being a pundit but that hasn’t impacted my view that her contributions as a player simply don’t rise to the level of scotty and houghton. and that should be obvious.

has to be said, man united were just incredibly stupid for the mazraoui rainbow laces move. if there’s something the queer community don’t beat with a dead stick, it’s a lost cause. no, really. if it’s a known homophobe being homophobic, queer folk do not give it air…

nawt the club saying this about two players they’ve started chronically benching 🥲 like why you gotta rub it in barça (let them play!)

sunderland v blackburn rovers the pick of the fixtures by far. two teams that have never sustained top level football but always overperform for their division in cups.

perhaps not surprisingly, the formative teams of so many lionesses.

📲 Los mensajes de Crnogorčević y Vero Boquete en X tras las ausencias de Irene Paredes y Jenni Hermoso en la lista de España

this doesn’t seem to have hit bluesky #futfem in english, but montse tome has openly said she excluded irene paredes (captain), jenni hermoso and misa rodriguez from the spain women’s national team bc they’re not “team players”.

this systemic exclusion as punishment was done after 2015 complaints.

a massive 12 lionesses have no international goals to their name: 3 goalkeepers, 8 outfield players with fewer than 25 combined caps, and vice captain keira walsh.

the recent three lions’ games saw five first international goals - can the lionesses do something similar?

“aubrey plaza has no range” except in one episode of snl she went from reprising april ludgate to this so ❗️

i’ll say it again, the only good thing about nations league is san marino doing well 🥹

congrats to sammy k and kmew. disappointed to see homophobic and misogynistic responses elsewhere

toril looked like he wanted to quit in minute 5, and rma’s game didn’t get any better. anyway, clasico win never in doubt, visca el barça

guijarro or golazo 🤔

maybe we can keep bluesky so small that barça femení can still make top 10 trends 😅
