These same people not too long ago had a different opinion on such matters. What's different now? The vice-chairman of Tranmere Rovers Football Club has revealed she is aware of a British football club where women aren’t welcome in the boardroom.
Nicola Palios said that while the sport has seen various improvements in terms of diversity, problems still remain.
And Nicola, 52, said that despite years of campaigning by equality groups such as Women in Football, shockingly, there is still a British football club where women “still aren’t welcome in the boardroom”.
She wouldn’t say which exact club it was, only that they play in the English Football League.www.business-live.co.uk/enterprise/tranmere-rovers-chief-fans-sexism-16689194 |

Sadly it looks normal to me. What I find interesting is the gap between perception and reality. On the one hand, synagogues are gender divided too. I never went to them often, but they were divided in the middle just like this picture. I hated it.
On the other hand, the Kaaba (site of the holy pilgrimage site in Mecca, Saudi Arabia) enforces Islamic tenets down to the literal T, which means no gender segregation in the building. Gender segregation exists outside and throughout the Middle East. Gender segregation came later.
A British football club where women aren't allowed in the boardroom on principle sounds worthless. I'm wondering if there's a distinction between "welcome" and "allowed", though. Neither are good, but one would think if women are not allowed in the space then it is a gender-discrimination human rights issue. If they are allowed but considered unwelcome because they're women, then that's pathetic, and hopefully that changes because that is cultural. If they are forbidden on account of policy, then I think that's grounds for being sued.
Nicola Palios, in my opinion, shouldn't refuse to name the club. All that does is protect them from the scrutiny they deserve.

All well and good however, shouldn't it go both ways? An example would be in regard to the Muslim sportsmen and women. Are they inclusive when it comes to praying? Are women seen as equal? How do they feel about LGBTQ and the trans issue? I get the feeling on certain issues all the talk of equality and inclusion goes out the window. Saturday sees the official launch of a historic "first of its kind" Muslim athletes' charter - an idea devised by Rahman, who previously worked for the Football Association.
The charter seeks to "challenge organisations" to make progress in supporting Muslim sportsmen and women, with signatories pledging to "create positive change".
There are 10 points contained within the charter, such as non-consumption of alcohol, including during celebrations, the provision of appropriate places to pray, halal food, and being allowed to fast in Ramadan.www.bbc.com/sport/football/57512924.amp |
