The Johnny Bright incident was a violent on-field assault against African-American player Johnny Bright by a white opposing player during an American college football game held on October 20, 1951, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The game was significant in itself as it marked the first time that an African-American athlete with a national profile and of critical importance to the success of his team, the Drake Bulldogs, had played against Oklahoma A&M College (now Oklahoma State University) at Oklahoma A&M's Lewis Field. Bright's injury also highlighted the racial tensions of the times and assumed notoriety when it was captured in what was later to become both a widely disseminated and eventually Pulitzer Prize–winning photo sequence.

Ferguson's aggressive style of play resulted in a career total of nine red cards, as well as a three-month prison sentence following an on-field assault of Raith Rovers' Jock McStay in 1994. Eight of those red cards were in the English Premier League, where he holds the joint record for dismissals alongside Patrick Vieira and Richard Dunne. He is known by the nicknames "Big Dunc" and "Duncan Disorderly".

This Euro has reminded us how amazing women's football can be but also how decades of prejudice and misogyny held back the development of one of the most exciting, high-level sports of our generation.

People in the past have made arguments on why the women's game shouldn't be as high profile as the men's game. Here're 2 of the most popular ones and why they're wrong:

Argument 1: The Women's game didn't attract as much spectatorship as the men's game, thus they shouldn't get equal spotlight nor equal pay.

Not only has this been proven wrong this week (with the Women's Euro final breaking attendance records of any Euro finals COMBINED for both men and women), this was also not true in the past. For instance, women's football's popularity has soared in England after WW1. On December 26th, 1920, there were more than 50.000 people coming to watch the women's game in Goodison Park, with a further 12.000 lining up outside.

The FA viewed this as a threat. In just under a year, women's football was banned and will continue to be so for the next 50 years. No FA officials were ALLOWED TO OFFICIATE the game. This means no women can play at the professional level and make a living out of it. The professional game itself died out, stagnating growth in the playing often referred to as a game "50 years behind".

The women's game didn't attract less fewership, it was the men's side of the sports that made them so and they continued to utilise this very narrative to keep the argument going.

Argument 2: The women's game lacked quality compared to the men's, resulting in less interests and investments

This argument is based on the common headline of men's physicality being superior to the women's. This is undeniable. But what is deniable is whether this means their football game is undoubtedly much 'better'. How do we define 'better'? In a game famous for its variety and innovation, there are 1 billion different approaches to "beautiful football".

Yes, the men are undoubtedly faster and stronger. But research has shown that because women are less so, they resort to the tactical side more, keeping the ball in play for much longer, committing less physical fouls, and creating time for more elaborate attacks. The style of hard-paced, physical football has always been held superior in the English league but remember that the game has always been much slower in other footballing nations such as Spain, without whom we would never have witnessed the beauty of tiki takas.

Above all, the reason women's football has constantly been held as 'under the weather', 'inferior' or 'underdeveloped' was precisely because IT HAS BEEN MADE TO BE SO BY THE SYSTEM for the past 100 years.

Each of the women's athlete has been put down, doubted, ridiculed, and robbed off opportunities 10 times more than their male counterparts.

To move forward, it is first crucial to recognise that what keeps this sport from breaking through new boundaries is oftentimes nothing but the CONSTRUCTED glass wall of dated, discriminatory perceptions.

For the girls of our future, we owe it to them to give the best of our supports, to cheer them on along the way when everyone doubted them. We owe it to our women for the 100 years we've robbed them from their dreams.

We owe it to them to be better.

This is what we mean when we say that all that behavior is normal in football players (I used Messi for my point bc even the GOAT had that behavior when young). And no one used to care, at most we used to joke and say "jajaja Messi pillado" and nothing else. Why? Because we cared more about the performance on the field, it was more talked when they played a bad game than what they used to do with is sex life. And it was normal to see this news every week.

Bad game? Everyone fighting in social media defending or attacking the player.

Caught cheating or sleeping with women around? We were blind and didn't see anything.

And around that time for the girlies it was more like "oh soo you telling that if I shoot my shot I can get some that easy?". It was more of a win honestly.

Those were the days. Putisimos todos jajaja.

Evolution of Football: From its Origins to Modern-Day Play

Football, or soccer as it's known in some parts of the world, is one of the most popular and beloved sports worldwide. But how did it all start? From its origins to modern-day play, the evolution of football is a fascinating story that has captured the hearts and minds of millions. We have a variety of blogs filled with details about football, so if you want to know more about football then visit this page at: " Football Sports "

Origins of Football: A Game of Simplicity

The origins of football can be traced back to ancient civilizations in China, Japan, and Greece, where various forms of ball games were played. However, the modern version of football we know today has its roots in England during the 19th century. The game was initially played by schoolboys who would kick a ball around, using their feet and hands to maneuver it.

The game was relatively simple, with few rules and no specific position requirements. It was played on an open field, and the goalposts were often makeshift. As the game became more popular, it evolved, and a set of standard rules were introduced.

The Evolution of Football Rules

The first football association was formed in England in 1863, which led to the development of the modern rules of the game. Among the most significant changes was the introduction of the offside rule, which required a player to have at least two opponents between themselves and the goal when the ball was played. You can also read this on our other page: Evolution Of Football

Over time, the rules of football continued to evolve. In the early 1900s, the game became more structured, and specific positions were introduced. The 2-3-5 formation was widely used, which consisted of two fullbacks, three halfbacks, and five forwards. The goalkeeper was also introduced as a specialist position.

The Evolution of Football Tactics

As football continued to evolve, new tactics were introduced to the game. In the 1950s, the 4-2-4 formation was developed, which gave more emphasis on attack. In this formation, four defenders, two midfielders, and four forwards were used.

The 1970s saw the introduction of the Total Football strategy, which was popularized by the Dutch national team. This tactic emphasized flexibility and required players to be able to play in multiple positions on the field.

In the modern game, coaches have developed new tactics and strategies, such as the Tiki-Taka style of play used by Barcelona and the Gegenpressing strategy used by Liverpool. These tactics focus on maintaining possession of the ball and high-pressing defense, respectively.

The Evolution of Football Equipment

Another significant aspect of the evolution of football is the equipment used by players. In the early days of the game, players would wear leather boots with metal studs, and the ball was made of leather. Goalkeepers would often play without gloves and be allowed to handle the ball outside the penalty area.

Today, football equipment has advanced significantly. Players wear lightweight boots made of synthetic materials, and the ball is made of synthetic materials that are more durable and provide better control. Goalkeepers wear specialized gloves that give them more grip and protection.

The Evolution of Football Fans and Media

Football's evolution is not just limited to the game itself but also extends to the fans and media coverage. In the early days of the sport, fans would gather at local parks to watch games. As the game grew in popularity, fans started attending professional matches in stadiums.

The development of the internet and social media has also transformed the way fans interact with the sport. Fans can now watch live games from anywhere in the world and engage with other fans on social media platforms. I'm sure you would also like this: "American Football Forever: A Style That Will Always Survive."

The media coverage of football has also evolved significantly over the years. In the early days of the sport, newspapers were the primary source of information about games, but today, fans can access football news and highlight through television, streaming services, and social media.

Conclusion

The evolution of football has been a journey from simplicity to complexity, and from a local pastime to a global phenomenon. From its humble origins to modern-day play, the game has changed significantly, but its essence remains the same. It's a game that brings people together and inspires passion and loyalty among fans worldwide.

As football continues to evolve, we can expect to see more changes in the future. New technologies and strategies will be developed, and the sport will continue to grow and captivate audiences worldwide. One thing is for sure; the evolution of football is far from over, and we can't wait to see where it goes next.
