Sorry if there's a thread already on this general topic, I couldn't find one. I also wondered about posting this on the "footballers and coronavirus" thread as it's lockdown-related but I think the wider topic of sexism is more the issue here.
What has prompted this post is the news in the attached link [edit: see link in Sporting's post two posts down from here], which I think is stunningly bad, and shows how much more progress needs to happen in terms of equal treatment for women's football. Apparently girls's academies at big clubs are shutting down for lockdown while the corresponding boys' ones are allowed to keep going. What the actual fuck? What dinosaur scumbags made that decision?
