ABSTRACT
If you’re looking for real evidence of football’s sneering, misogynistic attitude to women then there have been many more revealing places to look over the past few years than the email account of the Premier League’s chief executive Richard Scudamore. You could have been present at Cardi ’s Celtic Manor hotel when a Welsh woman journalist asked Sepp Blatter how one might secure a professional role with Fifa. ‘Lady, I’m single’, Blatter replied, to general male amusement … Or when radio reporter Michelle Evans had the temerity to ask Gordon Strachan about a particularly poor defeat when he was Celtic manager. ‘Explaining it to you is impossible’, Strachan told her. ‘It would be like you explaining childbirth to me.’
