Football
When FIFA’s Women’s World Cup Football was in full swing, should we have been celebrating? Are we celebrating gender inequality? Are we admiring great football talent on display, or mainly focused on women playing football? Why is there a separate World Cup for women anyway? Inclusive sport means one global event, where teams of women and men both play for equal prize money (not 7.5% of the men’s prize). Let’s celebrate when we recognize supreme athletes, regardless of their gender. Let’s celebrate when we see players as inspiring role models for boys and girls, women and men alike. Not before.
