Hayes is distributing left and right

Emma Hayes He is one of the most successful trainers. The 47-year-old Englishwoman directs the Chelsea since 2012, although it was unofficially announced that starting this summer he will be the next coach of the United States, one of the most powerful teams in the world. And this is not for nothing but for his proven quality. Hayes is a powerful voice in the world of football. But not only.

What he says outside the context of sports is also respected. This time, Hayes spoke out against what he considered “sexism” in British football, addressing its origins and criticizing the evil that social networks also do, in this sense. He made it clear that, in his opinion, “there is more sexism in England than in the United States.”

His arguments make sense and come after new controversial statements by controversial ex-footballer Joey Barton, who not too long ago commented that women should not commentate on men’s football, now compared Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward to the duo of serial killers. it was Fred and Rose West.

Hayes believes that all this has its roots in the history of football itself in England. “We live in a more sexist society in England than in the United States when it comes to soccer. That’s because it was established that way a long time ago, when we were banned from playing. A lot of boys and men didn’t grow up watching of girls and women who play football. Therefore, it is understandable that their experiences and their prejudices are expressed in such a way, because they are used to it and something that they do not see as normal.

Hayes has been an outspoken critic of the dangers posed by social media: “If you think about a lot of things in the last 10 years in this country, from Brexit to populism to our political divide, for me it’s been a for a while now has intensified because, unfortunately, social media can create such division in a vitriolic way, instead of generating sensible conversations.”
