Wow. ESPN showed only three of the five goals in the Sweden/Italy match. They cut it short to talk…about American football TRAINING CAMP. - eviltoast

Insane. I just needed to share this with someone who might give a shit. And this community might not be the place, but still. Needed to call them out somewhere. Gross.

    To clarify, because I can’t seem to edit the post: this was obviously on the highlights/sports news segment. They went on to spend like five minutes talking about the season that hasn’t started yet. Not to mention, they spent at least five minutes on training camp shit BEFORE the women’s WC highlights too.

      ‘Fun’ fact: England’s Football Association effectively banned women’s football in 1921. Quote: “The game of football is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged.” They lifted the ban in… 1971.
