The situation in Lebanon is truly bleak, Israel effectively occupying the south, regular strikes into civilian areas of Beirut, half a million people displaced and even if the strikes on Iran slow down or cease this is likely to persist. It's horrific the news continues to fail like this.

Time is running out for the Iranian women’s football team as fears for their safety grow | Jack Snape There are urgent calls for Australia to take action before the team return to Iran but with no word from the players themselves the situation is fraught and uncertain

if neither the AFC nor LOC conducted a human rights risk assessment and put related safeguard mechanisms in place ahead of the #AFCWAC, when these issues were coming at them from miles away, there has to be accountability.

Happy International Women’s Day!

We’re highlighting the pioneering women footballers who played their game despite oppression and stigma.

From Rutherglen Ladies to Rose Reilly, there are hundreds of female role models from throughout football history ⚽️

I don't understand how people advocate for inclusion by excluding some other group.

Women are women, dammit.

Blak women are women
Disabled women are women
Muslim women are women
Working women are women
Trans women are women
The butchest woman you've ever met is still a woman.

Simples. #IWD26✊️

UN Human Rights Council raises concern over Olympics sex testing The United Nation's Human Rights Council has questioned the Olympics approach to sex testing saying it raises "serious concerns".

The @iocmedia must not return toThe Humiliating Practice of Sex-Testing Female Athletes.These tests are "unethical, unscientific & discriminatory", & which were widely condemned in the past by doctors, bioethics experts & international human-rights organisations.

A lot of these warmongers live either outside the U.K. or inside the UK in gated communities that you could barely find on Google Maps. Quite a few of them will have stocks in defence companies. So they’re just sitting at home safe and increasingly richer, smugly smiling as human beings burn alive.

β€˜Wartime traitors’: Iran state TV condemns women’s football team for anthem silence Iranian commentators have warned the lives of Iran’s national team β€œare in imminent danger”.

there is a very real public threat to the lives of Iran’s women’s national team players after state media accused them of being β€œwartime traitors” for refusing to sing the anthem. surely @ausgov.bsky.social cannot allow these players to return to Iran?!

While I join all the commenters on celebrating Lyle’s downfall in this case, I really want to acknowledge that Johny and Dwayne and the legal team have been fighting this for so many years. It has no doubt taken up huge amounts of time and energy and space in their lives throughout that time.

Charlize Rule played well last night.

Looks like Charlize Rule making her debut in that β€œtough” friendly against Canada the other year had no negative impact on her international career.

Along with Clare Hunt and her final third passes, the distribution from the #Matildas' centre-back pairing tonight was pretty much excellent and a key cog in helping the team progressed the ball into the penalty box very often.

Just want to expand this with data just cause I can. She just looked very confident whenever she made a pass and didn't seem to hesitate to look for forward passes or line-breaking passes. Might not've come across on TV but I definitely felt that way watching her live from the stadium.

Iran fans have unfurled prohibited Lion & Sun flags and come over to the tunnel where the players are exiting the field to sing and chant and applaud them. they also seem to be throwing insults at some of the staff members. #AFCWAC
