So this is in no way meant to be some kind of saviorism post, but after yesterday when people were talking about diversity in women's Hockey I got thinking, and then I saw the photo posted of Arsenal's roster. I was honestly a little shocked I hadn't ever really thought too deeply about the diversity of a team but that is most definitely due to me being white and not having to think of that. So I looked deeper ( I also want to say now that my numbers may not be a hundred percent correct, you can't always know someone's ethnicity or racial identity but I have done my best to look and be as sure as I can). Arsenal while not the worst at diversity is second to the bottom with Everton having as far as I can tell ZERO players of color. I understand the argument of well they are in England. But when other teams like Manchester City are able to diversify their rosters it doesn't really feel fair to use that excuse when it comes to teams like Arsenal, especially as they have similar financial standings. I just was super caught off by this, I would personally think a team would benefit from looking as broadly around the world as they can but it seems some teams don't see a necessity in individuals who have lived varying lives, and I guess it's up to you to figure out how you feel about that. I am happy to look at NWSL teams, I'm not oblivious to the fact that the team I follow is itself super white.

So below will be the list in order from lowest to highest percentage. I should have been doing homework but I've done this instead.

Everton - 0 percent

Arsenal - 8 percent

Leicester City - 9 percent

Bristol City - 11 percent

Liverpool - 13 percent

Aston Villa - 15 percent

Brighton and Hove Albion - 18 percent

Manchester United - 21 percent

West Ham United - 23 percent

Tottenham Hotspur - 25 percent 

Chelsea - 27 percent

Manchester City - 30 percent

The footballbro Win Stupid Prizes WSL 21/22 Awards

The ”How’s your head?” Award

This is awarded to Leah Williamson for this headed goal from a Katie McCabe corner which looked like she definitely felt that the next day

The “Have some of that” Award

This goes to Kate Longhurst for her celebration against Spurs. Not everyday you see players run right up to the camera in celebration, it was certainly very memorable. 

The “And it was all yellow” Award

This is awarded to Katie McCabe who has managed to get 9 yellow cards over 20 matches. With her record, if she’s playing there’s a good chance she’ll get booked. 

The “Not another one” Award 

This award goes to Everton who have had as many managers as the highest number of goals they’ve scored in a match, three. This is not an award they’ll be wanting to win twice.

The “Fancy footwork” Award

This award goes to Ellie Roebuck attempting to prove that modern goalkeepers must be confident with the ball at their feet. 

The “Should have gone to specsavers” Award

This goes to the third goal Arsenal scored against Chelsea on the opening day of the season as although the goal was given, Beth Mead was offside. This was the start of an unfortunate pattern in the refereeing throughout the season

The “Volleyball” Award

This award goes to that infamous winning goal Spurs scored at City in September, it would be difficult to find a more obvious example of handball. 

The “Desperate times call for desperate measures” Award

This goes to that one game where Man City’s 1st, 2nd and academy keeper were all injured so midfielder Laura Coombs was listed as backup keeper.  

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
