Is it really such a crime for your XI to have the same skin colour? Are 11 white people not allowed to be together without it requiring a club statement anymore?
Fucking hell man.
I get what you’re getting at, but people are reacting to the full squad photo, not just the XI, so 27 players.
lol at you being downvoted for a factually correct observation
Not quite understanding that one myself. Just pointing out what the article they obviously didn’t read says, not saying the outrage is justified or anything.
It’s still ridiculous. They have players from all over the world, and they are diverse. Signing a black player for the sake of diversity is pure tokenism.
Just saying what the article says in response to a guy who just read the title. Not saying it justifies the outrage, did I?
Disgusting the world we live in where being white is considered racist.
White men are gathering in this thread
People saying “What” in the comments clearly haven’t read the article and jumping to conclusions.
It’s not hard to see the glaring differences between women’s and men’s football in the UK. While a lot of Premier League stars are from working class backgrounds, most WSL players are from middle class families instead.
Supporting grassroots, accessible women’s football is only going to help in giving young girls opportunities in life, and spots talent which would never get the chance otherwise.
Good on them for recognising this tbh.
Football is one of the cheapest sports to play. You just need one ball that cots 10pounds and 20 kids can have fun on the street. All those working class girls need is a desire to play football which they obviously don’t have. And it is not an opportunity either… the mean salary in WSL is £47,000. This is if you become one of the best 400 football players in the country (which is extremely difficult, by the way). This is by no means an opportunity for those girls… they are better of studying and becoming doctors, lawyers, etc…

I’m getting strong “Look at the Lobster, for example” vibes here.
Bizarre.
How?
Ramsdale might become starter for Arsenal after all
what
Brazil, Netherlands, Canada, Austria, Sweden, Spain, Australia, USA,
Have the English completely embraced American race theories? Skin color is the only thing that matters?
Before everyone gets angry, they’re not saying that they’re gonna purposely pick more players of different ethnicities. They’re saying that they’re working on encouraging more of them into football
Reddit gets very testy whenever the topic of diversity in the workforce comes up, even when the context is as tame as “We’d like to make sure that everyone feels there’s a possibility of finding successful employment here”.
This is a sensible and actually admirable example of it to be fair. Recent “diversity pushes” like the RAF actively rejecting candidates because they were white was abhorrent.
