And it's man of the match

[wak1889]

It's not player of the match its man of the match , it's always been man of the match as it's a game played by 22 men , u can have woman of the match in women's football no one will be offended because no one cares anyway, but they can use player of the match if they choose , but there is absolutely no reason to call it player of the match

What will be next a booking and a diversity course for shouting "man on" will we switch to "person to person" marking at set pieces,

It's becoming ridiculous

What is ridiculous is taking any sort of offence that a term has been changed to be more inclusive.

What harm does it do to your life that it is now ‘player of the match’ other than it didn’t used to be like that?

 

[Grey Blade]

Describing batsmen as batters always grates on me.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

'Woman of the match' is also controversial

'Person with a cervix of the match' or 'Bleeder of the match' is much nicer

I know this because the grown up experts on a recent course I had to do told me so

Why is it more inclusive? Who is it including ?

Who cares ?

Not every woman has a cervix , that's just the womb carriers, the women with beards and cocks don't have a cervix

Should've watched Man city Burnley then, they had man of the match.

Bizarrely there are some women on this site - although sometimes I wonder why I bother when I read some of this stuff

Why is it more inclusive as player of the match? Can we include people we couldn't before such as, erm... Nah, nothing I can think of.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

It's political correctness gone mad.
They'll be getting the right to vote next, if that Emily Davison gets her way FFS.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

This is definitely worth getting mad about.

It’s a strange change when we know that the only people playing are men and it didn’t need to be changed.

But that’s the BBC for you, they love to show they’re inclusive with unnecessary changes

Is it a big deal? No, not really. It won’t change anything for vast majority

 

[Red Hot Currie]

It just doesn't help. I'm all for equality and inclusivity... but changes like this just come across as trite and daft...

In a match that has 2 teams of 11 men it is very inclusive to use the phrase man of the match and should always be so

You realise nobody is stopping you from calling it man of the match?

 

[DifferentClass]

To be fair, Doyle and McAtee are superhuman.

 

[OLDBLADE43]

You realise nobody is stopping you from calling it man of the match?

so why the need to change it?

 

[steve26272]

Who was “them of the match” for themchester city today?

Get your point though, if it’s a mixed sex game then “man of the match” should be “player of the match”

Surely it’s not sexist when “man of the match” can only be a man?

BBC gave Haaland MAN of the match.

 

[BobblesBlade]

I hate all this inclusive woke crap but then I’m in the older generation.
I just have to get used to all this rubbish.
It’s funny though when these woke types say we shouldn’t be angry. These wokey people are the angriest self obsessed tossers you can ever meet.

It includes people who might be playing “men’s”* football but don’t necessarily identify as a man (they might be gender fluid, for example). ‘Person of the match’ includes them, ‘man of the match’ doesn’t. It’s fine.

*Really, that’s anyone’s football.

This is such a good, clear answer. If a blades player did not identify as a man (gender fluid etc) and them getting player of the match instead of man of the match made a difference to them surely this is only a positive.

Especially when considering that something as low effort as changing an awards name is all that is required.

I do not understand how anyone could be angry about trying to make something we love more inclusive for all.

Have you heard of WSL?

Yer not a big fan of the world surf league though, it’s not for me. I wonder if they have a surfer of the match though…

Serious question:

Wouldn't it be easier to just have “Splitarse of the match” this should cover both due to the splits present in both genders.

Or would I have to strap on?

Confusing but want to learn, keen to PC & not offend.

Thanks
