Women's football has gone through so many changes in it's relatively short history. With some nations banning the concept for varying periods of time, to now being one of the largest growing sports in the 2020's. Despite these huge advances, there are still several key areas that are not keeping up with the ever-growing spectacle of the game. Players are getting bigger injuries due to the increasing fixture schedule and lack of knowledge of female physiology, negative effects to people's mental health, misogyny across the industry, and generally a lack of respect towards the women in football that have been doing incredibly well in developing the game for spectators and young girls and women hoping to get involved in football.
This video project is my take on the current issues in the sport, highlighting the problems and what could be done to improve the situation, pushing it closer to the level the men's game is on at this moment.
This is something that I have been working on for over a month. Researching, recording and editing a video of this size has been one of my biggest projects on the channel, but I felt compelled to talk about a subject that has become a huge part in my consumption of football.
