‘We had to fight to be heard’: Spain stars Putellas and Paredes speak out
www.theguardian.com
Decades of ‘systemic discrimination’ have long forced the country’s female players to shoulder more than football, Alexia Putellas said as she and her teammate Irene Paredes spoke out about the game’s sexism scandal

The uproar over Luis Rubiales’s behaviour laid bare the female players’ longstanding fight for equality; a battle that took a fresh twist this week after 15 players from the World Cup-winning squad were called-up despite their decision to boycott the national team until changes are made to the federation leadership.

    Is anger all that you have?

    I feel real pity for you.

    I hope you find some joy in your life.

      Nope, just objective facts and empathy for the absolute state of women’s soccer.

        More like the objective facts for your own misogyny.

        Tell me, if performance is all there is to it, why do so many educational institutions in the US make such big business out of sporting events?
