🚨 The players’ statement supporting Jenni Hermoso has been signed by 20 World Cup winners and various players past and present (number to be confirmed)

The statement says as follows as publicised by @marca and @sport

🧵 A thread

[Becky Deeks @Bec_Greenhalgh]

Big respect for @Jennihermoso She shouldn’t have to do any of this, it shouldn’t rest with the person who has been assaulted to have to make the change and it says a lot about football governing bodies.

[Becky Deeks @Bec_Greenhalgh]

So many thoughts on this amazing World Cup that’s highlighted so much in terms of brilliance in women’s football and inequality - we’ve got a long way to go @Lionesses gave everything and today wasn’t our day. Respect to Spanish players, despite management. Some class players…

[Good for a Girl @GoodforaGirl1]

A really interesting thread by the brilliant @JacquiOatley Frustrating how slow change can be and for some it will feel too late but glad that the awareness is growing. Hoping big changes will happen!

My kids have asked for football boots for their birthday next Thursday. Son turns 9 and I can buy any pair of boots designed for boys, from £20 upwards. Daughter turns 12 and I’d have to pay £100+ for boots designed specifically for girls’ feet, which she’d soon grow out of 🤨

Such important research but also devastating is definitely the word for it. We are so ready to challenge these stereotypes.

[Women in Sport @Womeninsport_uk]

Girls as young as 5 don't feel that they belong in sport.

Our groundbreaking research uncovers the devastating truth of how young girls are having their self-belief undermined.

How this game ever started…if the WSL was treated with the same respect as the Premier League this would never have happened.

What a year it's been! 🤩

From Euros success to a runner-up spot at the Ballon d'Or, the forward had an incredible 2022.

Can’t believe in the women’s champions league if teams want goal-line technology they have to pay for it!And VAR only comes into play in the quarter finals. @UEFA need to sort this out, this is not equality and again it’s a different rule for women’s football 🙄

[Women in Sport @Womeninsport_uk]

We welcome Karen Carney's review into women's football at elite & grassroots level. This is a great step towards continuing the @Lionesses legacy.

We hope that this will lead to more opportunities for girls to play at all levels of the game.

Nothing reveals the misogyny in football more than the responses to an absolutely valid tweet from @liannesanderson

[Lianne Sanderson @liannesanderson]

9-0 in the mens game Seems to equal great performance. Absolutely. In the women’s game for some it equals poor goalkeeping and “Women’s football is rubbish “ 🤣 oh the double standard. How ironic.

“It’s a man’s game”
“Men at it”

Get in the ���� what a disgraceful thing to say after the summer this country has just seen.
