Banning women from football

The British women's team plays against the American, but American women considered the Brits too harsh (they smoked a lot and were bad asses), and they ended up playing men. They won half of the matches. Woop woop!

In 1921, after the end of WW1, men banned women in football: allegedly for medical reasons (it was too exhausting for women to play and they might not bear children anymore + they no longer wanted women to be paid for it).

In Brazil it was banned by law.

Unofficial cups of women kept taking place and FIFA took an interest to it due to its large audience and made it official once more.

Awesome podcast about the history of British football. Gave me a sense of the community feeling that football has always had in Britain.
