While there’s a whole host of reasons why girls and women are enjoying taking up football, one anonymous person offers ten comic reasons why she won’t be playing.
1. The ball always end up in my face.
2. I can’t run for more than 1 minute without feeling as sick as a dog.
3. I look like porridge in a football kit.
4. I just scream and wave my arms wildly if a ball is coming at me.
5. Balls jump away from me when I try to kick them!
6. I might (will) get shouted at.
7. I’ll probably be the one who ends up doing the laundry as I messed up the whole game.
8. They might not let me go to the loo 10 minutes into the game.
9. I’d be expected to remember whose on my team and which end of the field to score.
10. I might get hot, cold, wet, muddy, sweaty, etc.
