the concept of azzi not seeing paige bueckers 23 yr old star when she looks at her but seeing 15 year old paige who used her adhd annoying energy to bother azzi into being in love with her for the last decade.

[azzibuckets]

the idea of knowing your girlfriend for almost a decade now yet still being so mindlessly in love that you can’t help but feel like you’re fourteen years old with a hopeless crush again. may this kind of love slam into me like a fucking train

We want to use this opportunity to say that we stand in full solidarity with Jess Carter.

We are convinced she is not the only player who was targeted by hateful and discriminatory comments during this tournament. We saw far too many comments displaying an open hostility towards Players of Colour, discrediting their talent and hard work.

As Women's football continues to grow and tournaments become bigger each year, it is absolutely crucial to speak up now. It is a disgrace that people believe they can target a player for their race simply because they’re unhappy with her performance or attitude.

This is a frustrating and unacceptable development in women's football and football in general. The attention women's football is receiving is not an invitation for hate.

We can’t keep complaining about the lack of diversity in women's football and then close our eyes to the abuse of Players of Colour.

Because this isn’t just about the players today, it also sends a message to the young girls watching, wondering if there’s a place for them in this sport.

So as always:

Let’s keep womens football a safe space for everyone. Call it out. Say something. Let’s keep the game inclusive.
