The silence in response to the ongoing abuse of women in football has spoken volumes, so it’s encouraging to see ITV Sport and Gary Neville show their support. More please! A woman’s place in football is wherever she chooses it to be. 👉🏼 kickitout.org/news-media/wom…
@kickitout Ok make her centre forward for Man City and do Men have a place wherever they want in the laddies game.
@kickitout How much money did Gary Neville take from Qatar to not practise what he preaches again? If it's racism to ask for basic competence, we really are in deep trouble - and it is racist to suggest non-white people (and misogynist to suggest women-) aren't capable of basic competence.
@kickitout As long as they are good enough though, you can’t just pick someone based on gender race or whatever while discriminating against the worthy to fill a quota!
@kickitout @CarrieBrownTV I would very respectfully argue (and am happy to be politely corrected by anyone who disagrees) that a large part of the silence is down to the fact that nobody, including some of the women being abused, wants to give the main source of this criticism any more publicity.
@kickitout Just put best person in job .stop ticking boxes whilst there is couple good women pundits on men’s game most are not .
As long as they are good at the job... yes. You don't hire someone for something purely based on a personal characteristic. You hire based on the ability to do the job. Sadly, the 2 that's kicked all this off, are not good at it. At all. That isn't anything against them as people, I'm sure they are brilliant women with great personalities, they just happen to not be good as punditry. That's not meant to be an insult, every single person on the planet will be crap at many jobs.
@kickitout I guess you’d have to call it abuse but it’s the majority of the football watching public voicing their disappointment at awful punditry. You don’t see the same comments about Emma hayes etc? It’s the case of having women pundits for the sake of having women pundits.
@kickitout @WARRIOR_1865 Agree completely! The lovely abuse I have received for standing up for female fans, pundits and players is disgusting. Have a tweet to send to you guys this evening as well but will do it privately
@kickitout @CarrieBrownTV I’m sorry I want the pundits on men’s football to be ex players of the men’s game. A game that’s completely different to the women’s game. You’ve wasted the coverage for many in the sport in a bid to provide a gig to individuals we don’t want to hear.
@kickitout No one saying that what people are saying there’s levels to this game
