One of the most important figures in women’s football, Hedvig Lindahl, recently announced that she refused an invitation from FIFA to join the FIFA Legends team for a promotional match ahead of the upcoming Women’s World Cup.
She said she did not want her image and public profile to be used to legitimize FIFA’s so called Peace Prize.
“I need FIFA to clearly condemn actions that kill footballers. For example, the financing of a genocide and the genocide itself. Hundreds of children, women and men who love football have been killed,” she said.
Hedvig Lindahl is one of the football figures who has taken a clear and public stand against the genocide in Gaza.
@AvantiWestCoast hello: I'm on the 16:07 train from Birmingham New Street to Oxenholme Lake District.
I am having trouble understanding the announcements. Can you tell me when we are likely to leave New Street and when we'll get to Oxenholme, please?
@SW_Help where is the guard for the train going from Farnborough to Waterloo, please?
I need their help but I can't find them. I've checked all coaches
The BBC in particular could improve things dramatically by:
1) Not continually platforming think tanks unless it says who funds them.
2) Not putting up someone with a 0.1% view against someone with a 99.9% view as “balance”.
3) Not parroting what govt says without fact checking
Multiple Palestinian footballers have been killed by the IDF, and now a Lebanese women’s national team player is in critical condition from an attack within a “war” that not even the USA supports
Russia was banned by @FIFAcom for far less. The football community need to speak up
main stadiums, not mens stadiums. the stadiums belong to the club, not the men’s teams. this weekend is something to be celebrated but it can’t be if we’re continuously referring to club stadiums as male spaces, somehow inferring women don’t belong there.
As insane as America is, I’d hazard there are probably still far more voters that dislike Trump than like him? And yet he’s absolutely rinsed the democrats, which to me suggests they may have made at least one or two mistakes. Fully endorsing genocide for example?
This, above all else, is what matters.
The US economic model is bust. Wages for most working people have stagnated for decades.
Either you offer an answer to that, or someone else will.
But the best Kamala Harris could muster was "I'm not Trump". That didn't work.
The clearest bit of Kamala Harris' otherwise fuzzy platform was her ongoing support for Israel's genocidal war machine and her deep contempt for pro-Palestine voters.
This is what it cost her in Michigan.
