Good Video about The History of Women's Football (particularly in the UK)

[Steeeeeeeeeed]

It was practically "banned" from 1921-1971 in the UK, in a backhanded way, by the F.A.

Very interesting once you get past the slightly rambling nature of the narrator.

Look we have recently had Wimbledon tennis allowing Women players to wear non white undershorts.

We have only at the start of the season allowed Women footballers to wear non white shorts.

It wasn't that long ago the experts said women would damage themselves running long distances.

It really is scary how fear of the fact that during the war women football became popular made the FA decide it better be put in its place. We still see these stupid videos come up and laugh at the fact a youth team beat International Womens team as if this somehow proves that Women shouldn't play football. Like saying women shouldn't play any sport as men will usually be stronger or faster.

Hopefully more grown ups will be able to enjoy sport played by either sex for what it is. Although the authorities and scared little men have other ideas.

Oh by the way have I mentioned that women can play rock music too. My favourite bands at the moment are all women rock bands. These women can be quite a handful can't they.
