We want pictures of players on the pitch, not pictures of them in bikinis
It might, actually, be coming home. On Sunday, the England’s womens football team will battle it out against Germany at the Euros 2022 final, after the Lionesses aced their semi-final with Sweden 4-0. But while it might be 2022, and more people than ever are watching the sport - Sunday’s final is anticipated to be the most-watched live TV event in the UK this year - unfortunately some of the attitudes, and coverage, surrounding the sport have been inherently sexist.
Of course it would be fine for an article to focus on Alessia and her talents, but the photos which accompany the article are of Alessia dressed up on a night out, and a photo of her in a bikini - neither of which have nothing to do with football. The headline is ‘England’s Golden Girl’ which seems like a headline straight from the 1950s. Tellingly, the actual article doesn’t reference either of the pictures.
