From its origins, the game of football has always been a male sport. With the evolution of time many sporting disciplines including football has seen women take part in sports that were ‘created’ for males.
With the advent of equal rights, many women have taken to emulate their opposite sex and taken to “I can do what you do”.
Largely, women are now involved in almost every sphere of any industry. Heavy duty truck drivers, bus drivers, lorry drivers, motor mechanics, brick layers, droughts women, the list is long.
Now nearly every male dominated sport has seen women participate as well.
It is not known which sport that was said to be males attracted women first, but football has grown all over the world. Cricket as well has seen more women taking up the sport.
History has states that football was invented in England, years ago around the 1800s even though some sources claim the game had existed some thousands of years ago in China.
In 1857, on the 24th of October, the world registered the English side Sheffield United as the first ever football club. The club consisted of men only.
Football has become the most popular sport in the world to watch and love.
In 1862, the 2023 Africa Cup ,AFCON bronze winners, South Africa, is said to have registered its first football match on the African continent which was between the soldiers and civil servants even though the match is said have had some elements of rugby.
The participation of females in this sport came with Patricia Palinkas who on the 15th of August 1970 became the first woman to play football.
Her debut paved the way for many other women around the world who had considered football as a men’s sport only.
Most professional female footballers always look up to males such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, to learn the traits of the game. To these women, the men’s style of play is how this game should be played.
Now that the equal rights gospel has granted women to take up previously male dominated sport, it is the behavioral traits that such sporting women adopt that come into question.
We have noted, with concern that many young women players, especially in football and cricket tend to change their characteristics to adopt that of males.
Women football players have been seen change their hairstyles, walk, talk and dressing just to look like a male sporting person.
Its scary to see young women completely alter their physical appearance to that of a man just because they play football and or cricket.
There are women tennis players who have not changed their physicality.
Why women in football and or cricket? What is the motive behind this phenomenon?
This publication investigated and discovered that such women sport players do this so as to hide the nefarious activities of gayism. Most; nowadays women football players are lesbians and take up the sport to show their borrowed masculine.
It is unfortunate that some young girls who take up football as a sport through talent find themselves entangled in the world of gayism. A lot of them have been turned to be homosexuals “lesbians”.
Lee Mangena, a coach for a Bulawayo based female youth team, Street Set FC, said female footballers act this way because they want to emulate their male football idols.
“Female football is pretty new to the world so they are inspired by male role models in football.
But they are slowly reversing this because enough feminine players are being produced now.”
In 2005, Ria Ledwaba who was a committee chairperson of South African Football Association, after noticing how female footballers in their country behaved thus commented,
“We don’t want our girls to look, act and dress like men just because they play soccer,” Ledwaba was quoted.
In response, Banyanya Banyana’s captain at the time claimed 60 percent of the countries female soccer players were lesbians.
“The majority of women soccer players are lesbians, and that is a fact,” Said the legend Banyana striker.
A doctor, Musawenkosi Ndlovu, said physical activities are not naturally for females, adding that too much of these sessions can make them behave like men.
“When women engage in physical activities such as working out or playing sports, their bodies eventually produce more testosterone than estrogen, which causes them to behave more like men.
Certain athletes, such as Caster Semenya, was born with XY chromosomes with masculine features but later transitioned into woman. They excel in athletics because of this.” Said Musawengosi Ndlovu
In as much as females football players idolise the great male players before them, behaving like a male is questionable.
Takudzwa Sambo, a football lover said such female footballers who end up changing their physicality, are on the wrong path.
“If a female chooses to play football, yes we understand it’s a male sport but one must appreciate that she is a woman both on and off the pitch.” Said Sambo
