Hey <<First Name>>,

Simply the best thing that happened in the last week has to be the Women's State of Origin. I went to the game with my brother and nephew. Both are involved in playing and coaching rugby league, both were impressed. 

Welcome to 2018 indeed. Kudos to the NRL for shutting down homophobia and for being the highest ranked national sporting organisation on the Pride in Sport Index.

Some other things that impressed my twitter followers this week: Jess Fox's double world championship, Liz Cambage tearing up the WNBA, finding out the highest paid volleyballers in the world are women.

And:
Tweet from Moya Dodd: When these brave Iranian women looked back on their journey to Russia & knew that they'd created change https://www.dw.com/en/iranian-women-hope-2018-world-cup-is-turning-point-for-stadium-ban/a-44422842 … @openstadiums #NoBan4Women

Something to fix

I don't want to single anyone out but this happens a lot. Too much. When you are talking about how a man is the 'first' at something, please ask yourselves... is he really?

Tweet from Ann Odong: Tim Cahill becomes the third Australian to appear at 4 FIFA World Cup finals tournaments. @cherylsali5bury (1995, 1999, 2003, 2007)@Bubs_11 (2003, 2007, 2011, 2015)@Tim_Cahill (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018)

When you’re telling our sports story, please don’t leave women out. Don’t be someone we have to call out. Be like Andy Murray

Or Casey Conway.

Tweet from Danielle Warby: "A lot of women have already [come out] and they're performing really well at the highest level. I try to elevate those women and those stories in trying to lift the message for LGBTI inclusion" - @caseyconway_  Listen to the full episode 👇#PrideInSport #WomenInSport

It was good to see The World Game and some other outlets follow up with the correct info. Love your work. Love Lucy’s work.

Also, FYI:

Tweet from Danielle Warby: More teenagers who have scored multiple goals in the #WorldCup  Marta (17) - 3 goals Kara Lang (16) - 2 goals Gitte Krøgh (18) - 3 goals Marianne Pettersen (19) - 3 goals Isabell Herlovsen (19) - 2 goals Ada Hegerberg (19) - 3 goals Mia Hamm (19) - 2 goals #WomenInSport

This week, I'm reading

Third-Wave Feminism, the Global Economy, and Women’s Surfing - Lesley Heywood

Going surfing/doing research: learning how to negotiate cultural politics from women who surf - Rebecca Olive

I don't think I need to tell you why I'm a bit focused on surfing this week

And unrelated to surfing but still riding that third wave: New Rules for New Times: Sportswomen and Media Representation in the Third Wave - Toni Bruce

Have a good week sports fans!
