ik i've gone on abt this A Lot recently but it genuinely is so exhausting to exist as a queer woman in sports fanbases but especially in football recently because i love the highs and lows of emotions i experience when watching my favourite teams and players but seeing ppl you look up to and admire for their work casually embrace generally shitty people but specifically shitty towards women hurts man, and that's not even to Begin taking about the casual sexism and general queerphobia so many fans display

#like sometimes i just want to give up and shut down this blog man #and it's not just about the recent stuff with utd yk first the greenwood business and now with antony #it's the wrestlers' protests in india back in april/may and the fact that the the govt continues to embrace and #support the accused. even if it comes at the cost of our players not being able to play under the indian flag at all #it's abt the fact that every aspect of indian sports is so overrun with religious nationalism its hard to take pride in india's achievement #when it just fills me with grief instead #and i know im not exempt from criticism because i myself like players and drivers etc that do the very same things im #talking abt and continue to like them and post abt them i just.#idk man. idk. im so tired.
