Stereotypes in sports have always been confining — for instance, if one plays football, they are dumb from all their leader injuries; if one plays basketball, they have to be outrageously tall to reach the hoops. For womens’ softball, players are assumed to be lesbians for simply playing in comfortable attire and being friends with their team. Like all stereotypes, the lesbian label deeply affects both non-LGBTQ+ and LGBTQ+ athletes alike, and it is clear that people do not understand the extent that its negative modify holds over these players both internally and externally. Such assumptions can be traced back to 1943 when Philip Wrigley created the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Historically, sports were regarded as masculine due to their rough and aggressive tendencies. As a result, women who competed in the sports were seen to not fit the commonly held notions of femininity, which demands them to be mellow, delicate and passive. By violating such gender norms, society had placed the lesbian label upon female athletes as a means to delegitimize their identity as a woman.

There's a couple of major differences between women's soccer and men's soccer. One: The U.S. women are excellent at it. Two, women's soccer is a hell of a lot gayer.
Yesterday, "content producer" Alex Binley from ITV News published an article about why, exactly, so many dykes excel at this sport. It's a great question. By Binley's tally, there were at least 41 openly gay players or coaches during the Women's World Cup this year. The last Men's Word Cup, in contrast, had a whopping zero. So, what gives?
According to Binley, this is largely due to homophobia. She says that men's soccer, especially outside of the U.S., is chock packed of homophobes (as adequately as sexists and racists) who would not welcome openly gay male players in the sport. Binley spoke with a number of academics, gay soccer fans, and former players, and she writes they all agreed that the main factor is the "the stigma historically attached to homosexuality."
It's hard to argue with that. Outside of the U.S., Canada, and a few other countries, soccer is both the most popular and the butchest sport on the block. Games
