The Silent Epidemic in Football...
I hope you found the video interesting.
This video covers eating disorders, particularly in football. This is a very under-discussed topic in elite sport and in general. It is one of the deadliest mental health diseases that affects million of people in the UK and Ireland alone every day. This video I wanted to briefly capture what elite footballers may go through who suffer this disease, raising awareness of how it could be occurring in you club right now. I hope that if someone watching this is fighting this battle, you are not alone. Not only are there places for you to seek treatment and help through charities and organisations, you have the support of friends and family that will bet there to fight this horrendous illness, in the hope that you can return to your best self, whether that is as an athlete, or just you.

    Excellent video. Thank you! I had some sexist brit comment on my comment saying women don’t draw fans, and I was like didnt the lionesses just sell out Wimbley???? You did forget to call out the subpar refs women have to contend with too. Oh and man United has been a perfect example of subpar facilities. Having a women’s team in the same club as a men’s team can really elevate the women’s team or it can ensure they’re treated as second class. It all comes down to the wins of the ownership.

    I have watched some US high school games on YT involving girls and boys playing on artificial american football pitches and the number of injuries for the girls seem to far outnumber the ones i have seen for the boys. Nearly all of the games have had to be stopped at some point for an injury. Some of them requiring stretchers. I have also seen games with their non playing teammates on crutches as well. From what i can make out, it is due to the surface used, and the girls incorrect way of tackling . Some seem to think they can just shoulder charge an opponent to gain possession of the ball, like in ice hockey. Some of the refereeing seem to allow it at times too which doesnt help. For me the coaching at this level needs to improve to prevent all of this unnecessary charging around that happens in the younger female game. In the US at least.

    My main issue is who is 'women's' football marketed to? Is it other women? Or is it men who already have an interest in a thriving,better,more refined version in the men's game? I struggle to see how men should care about the women's game just like we are not obliged to care about Netball for instance,which is a women's game for sure. And I'm not saying the women suck or i hste them, but to me it just feels like they are trying to validate their sport by using the preexisting male audience.

    I agree they should get paid like men, but only when they bring in the revenue to pay for it. Contrary to what people say a handful of games are sellouts, they said the fa cup this year was sold out when you could see empty seats and official attendance was 78 thousand in a 90 thousand capacity stadium. Most champions league matches don't sell out. In an interview in Australia Rhonda Rousey UFC fighter was asked about equal pay, she replied they don't run a charity they pay her the big money because she brings the attendance and viewers. They should be paid based on the money they bring in and not just because they play football regardless of skill level. You can be paid more when there's more money to pay them with. Womens football has a long way to go still and locking many games behind sky's paywall won't help them gain new fans or viewers.

    It would be healthier for everyone if we focused on women's strengths and help women shine in those areas more. I'm not against women doing physical things for fun or to stay healthy but women are simply not built for this type and intensity of physical strain. Some may do relatively well, but it will never be on the level of men's football. It actually hurts women to pretend professional women's football is a good thing. The mental/emotional aspects mentioned in the video are another example of why this is not good for women. Women are, in general, more emotional and social than men and will likely suffer more when put under the same amount of emotional pressure as a man. Let's let women be women for everyone's sake.

      I think every women has the right to pursue elite sports. One of the key issues I speak about in the video is the lack of resources and knowledge around female athletes and their physiology. The non-specialized equipment coupled with the increase in high-level competitions means (like in other sports across men and women) will lead to being more susceptible to injury. Once more information and data is collected regarding these things, the chances of injury should decrease. We are seeing an uptake in injuries in the men's game as well. That goes towards the mental side of the game as well. If clubs, leagues, organizations, and confederations provide resources and guidance to female athletes than they can thrive and become professional players, just like how young boys aspire to be. We have seen many successful female athletes across other sports, so why not in football?

For example, you have a talent for making videos and I have different talents.

My point wasn't to discourage certain behavior, but rather not encourage certain behavior, so to keep it neutral.

    They will get elite facilities and top level pay when the game brings in money to fund that. The men's game shouldn't have to subsidize the female game. Men get paid more because they generate more revenue. The last men's world cup made $4B the last women's world cup made 1/50th of that.

      Resources should be invested in it to help grow the women's game. That could be through the men's game, but governing bodies such as FIFA, UEFA, and other confederations have a duty to help grow the game across the world. There is still a lot of untapped potential in women's football from the player quality and infrastructure that will close the gap.

      @@1Alex117 All countries need to implement a youth system such as what is present in Europe, coaching from former pros at a very young age. The issue with women's football is that it is an afterthought by male clubs at this point trying to cash in on it quickly. Clubs are seeing it as a quick cash grab and it will not be taken seriously until it has a long and storied history like the men's game. Women are seen as having had this handed to them, men had to play for decades before it became financially beneficial for them. They can't come to the scene this late(professionally) and expect parity when they don't earn as much revenue as men's teams, but they should never expect world class wages for a level of football that is equal to the 5th tier of English football or lower. They shouldn't expect elite wages for non-elite levels of play.

      Not at all, I only spoke about how she was a huge voice in helping women's football push for fairer pay and treatment. There has been many women involved in making the USWNT one of the world's best national teams in the past two decades. Investments into the national program and collegiate scholarships meant that women in the US were receiving better training and with draft system in the US, clubs from the NWSL had their pick of young women coming out of college who received a good level of coaching from college soccer. Also the hype that generated in the US following the 1999 Women's World Cup saw a huge surge in participation in the sport by females, which has led to better players coming through clubs and college, which resulted in the dominance of USWNT in international soccer.

      Obviously women can't be as explosive as men, that's just basic biology; testosterone.

It's not Women's or the LGBT communities fault so you shouldn't direct that anger towards them. Women's football can be great if you base it on it's on merit; me and my stepdad watch it from time to time, it's still a lot of fun and we should absolutely be encouraging young women to commit more to sport; it's so much healthier than social media and other predatorial time sinks that are mainly targeted towards women. This is one area where they just can't seem to win, men complain about the latter but when they're striving to encourage objectively healthier hobbies/passions they still complain; let them have this and we should support them.
