    You must’ve missed my use of the word “percentage.” Let’s be real here. There could be 0 gay fans at a Men’s World Cup and attendance would still be really strong if not through the roof. You can’t say the same for the Women’s World Cup. There’s actually a TikTok of a few women at an Angel City game and they set out to find a straight female fan at the game (spoiler alert: they eventually succeed only for that straight woman to come out of the closet by the next time they run into her around a year later).

    This also doesn’t touch on the media. Many of the leading journalists covering the women’s game are members of the LGBTQ+ community. Are they going to Saudi Arabia to cover the tournament?

    I feel like women would definitely have to balls to attempt more serious forms of protest. This makes me somehow want this to happen lol.
