Guys, I know a lot of you who follow me on here maybe don't really care about soccer all that much and I get it, that's totally fair. It's not for everybody! But this sport is so so so important to me. Over the last 24 hours I have watched soccer supporters raise money to send small journalistic efforts to Australia and New Zealand to cover the Women's World Cup IN ONE MONTH. Most legacy news media outlets have not been investing in platforms and reporters who genuinely love the women's game. In fact, many of our small platforms have been defunded by parental organizations since the end of the Men's World Cup in Qatar. Even the host platform will, again, be fronting a misogynistic, ultra conservative, anti abortion, hateful human being as the main correspondent to this competition. But soccer fans are working to change that! And they've done so much already!
Another thing that soccer fans are working to change is helping to make sure that the Reggae Girlz (Jamaican Women's National Team) is able, as well, to go to the Women's World Cup and able to focus solely on training and performing their best at this competition for only their second appearance ever.
If you're able, I'd encourage you to donate to their fundraiser to help them in their endeavors. And, if you don't really watch soccer, I really encourage you to watch the Women's World Cup. The Reggae Girlz have immaculate vibes and they are in a group going against France, Brasil and Panama, which I am promising you will be fun.
Anyway, please reblog if you can!
