Male footballer bites an opponent - 10 Match Ban Female footballer calls a man a man - 10 Match Ban The case of a THIRD female footballer punished for stating that a man is indeed a man has yet again highlighted the gross misogyny at the heart of the @FA. In the latest case, a female player reportedly received a 10-match ban for shouting ‘go on big man’ at the male footballer Blair Hamilton. Hamilton is the 6-foot tall male who has played on the England women’s university team, Hastings United, and Saltdean Women, and was also picked as substitute goalie for Sutton United Women’s team by their male manager Lucy Clark. This third case of the FA punishing a female player for stating the truth has emerged in an interview with Hamilton on the 'Football versus Homophobia' podcast, which was broadcast in March 2024. Hamilton describes a ‘red mist’ descending when he was called a man, which led to him making a formal complaint to the FA. The FA duly obliged by hauling the unknown female player through its disciplinary process and banning her from her sport, says Hamilton. This is the same punishment meted out to former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez for biting an opponent in 2013. The latest case of female players being punished for stating the obvious follows the cases of two teenage girls, who were brought before the FA’s National Serious Case Panels and handed out match bans for saying what they were seeing – men on the pitch. Despite FA charges, outcomes, and fines being published on a monthly basis, these cases don’t appear on the FA website. Why is that? How many other players, fans or clubs have been sanctioned for calling out men playing in the women’s game? What is being hidden from us? The FA is discriminating against women and girls by allowing males into the female game. Then further discriminating by handing out excessive punishments when this unfairness (and the truth) is called out. It's a means to silence women and prohibit any further challenge. We call on the FA and @lisanandy, the Secretary of State for Sport to make football fair for females. No males in the female game.
