I read The stupidest thing on Soccernet today. There was an article about women as coaches of football teams, and the comments were absolutely despicable. I’m no feminist, but I couldn’t read past the first 10 or so comments–it was just too disgusting.
What the eff does being a woman have to do with being a coach? What does having a penis have to do with your ability to play football or manage a team? The only thing that I think a coach needs to have is experience. You need to play the game to lecture others about it or manage them as a successful coach–that’s my opinion at least. But it disgusts me to think that in the 21st century, people could be so stupid as to think that women couldn’t coach premier league teams because they are women. If they’ve played the game at a professional level and have the experience,have worked for it, and demonstrated their skills, who the hell are you to tell them they don’t deserve it?
