Arseblog - an in-depth look at Arsenal Women's lack of ethnic diversity

This is a good long read on the issues around diversity in Women's football in England, and puts the recent furor over the Arsenal squad photo in context. I am once again in awe of Alex Scott for how she's managed to thrive in spite of the barriers she's had to push past.

I do like that Hale End had their own thing where the employees do a bit of groundwork themselves. I've also read about how tech is playing a role in it where aspiring footballers can upload their stuff on to scouting networks. That should be made more accessible.
