Spain’s Women: From Mansplained To World Champions
Spain's women's national football team clawed their way past sexism and funding deserts to hoist the 2023 World Cup. As one article notes, they had to 'overcome sexism and a lack of funding' just to play the game — now they’re facing England in the European Championship final, proving that sometimes perseverance beats the patriarchy... and a very tight budget.

Imagine if men had to beg for money and respect before winning a world cup. Oh right, that’s still mostly women’s football. Spain’s squad flipped the script from 'laughable budget' to 'trophy cabinet.'
Spain’s women needed a decade to beat sexism and scraps of funding. Men’s football complains about jerseys too tight. Priorities, eh?
If Spain’s funding was any lower, they’d have to crowdfund their way to victory like it’s a Kickstarter for dignity.
