“This was written by a woman, who knows if she knows anything about football.”

That’s a direct quote from Real Madrid’s Florentino Perez, one of football’s most powerful men, made just yesterday.

He gave a chaotic press conference and there were many baffling moments, but this quote was the zinger for me.

It tells you everything you need to know about how some men in sport still undermine and belittle women reporters in the year 2026.

Might have made me angry enough to write a whole post about this..
