Arsenal women are on their way to becoming established not just the best women’s team in Europe but bigger than many male 1st tier European clubs.
Average crowds should top 40 000 and the days of giving tickets away for a fiver have long gone.

Hate or Pride?

Burberry, Adobe, KLM, Listerine, Nissan, Radisson Hotels, SoundCloud, Squarespace, Trainline and VistaPrint: the big brands that fund GB News' revolting homophobia whilst claiming to support Pride.

Here's how you write to them and ask them to choose.

You can’t support Pride and fund attacks on LGBTQ+ people | Good Law Project
Firms who advertise on GB News are paying for a channel built on hatred. It’s time for companies to pick a side – hate or Pride.

Your analysis is such a talent 👌 love hearing you on the @arseblog.com episodes.

Watched the game with Sion Misra which was highly entertaining. Please always bring up this match 😂

So the World Sevens is supposed to happen 4 times a year with at least one more in North America in fall this year. And I understood they are also planning one in Asia for now. Would be awesome if they would get all the winners together for the ultimate W7F winner. #W7F

Was thinking this! But rumours it’s coming to the USA in November so I’m wondering if it’s going to do a tour of the continents (first?)

After experiencing 💔 at Reading when the owner removed funding and the team went from the Championship to the fifth tier, Rachel Dugdale is facing déjà vu at Blackburn Rovers.

This time, she’s breaking her silence to defend the future of women’s football.

But banning trans people is what is important to protect women's sport

LaBonta has a degree in engineering from Stanford. In 2015 the NWSL minimum salary was $6,842. At any point in her soccer career LaBonta could have made substantially more money outside the sport.

She was waived by Sky Blue and eventually found her way to the FC Kansas City practice squad. (1/x)

It’s important to look back to contextualise the present.

This is an article I wrote for #IDAHOBIT in 2020.

It’s hard to believe LGBTQ+ rights have rolled back even further in the last 5 yrs & that trans women can no longer play affiliated football ⚽️ 🏳️‍⚧️

NEW: A rugby match between a team of trans women players and a team featuring former international women’s players is set to be held in Oslo on June 1.

Ex-England prop Sasha Acheson tells me why she’s making it happen, three years after the RFU’s trans ban.

Sometimes we see teams buy big name players who are great on paper, but the chemistry and connection is missing. How do we ensure (or maximise) the chemistry on the pitch with whoever we bring in?

I’ve had the privilege of playing on the same team as Emily several times over the years. She is kind, brave, and deserves the world.

We should call the ban out for what it is: the FA is banning trans kids from playing grassroots sports with their friends. It’s not about protecting women at all.

I completely agree. All the petitions do (additionally to what Lee says) is make people feel like they've done something so they don't end up doing something else more effective (talking to people, writing to MPs/orgs etc). It stifles resistance.
hleehurley.com
I write about this in the next Trans Agenda but I think we need to stop organising petitions to get debates in the House of Commons. All we do is give the worst people a large platform to attack trans people and the papers more fodder.

If we had decent allies there, maybe. But we don't.
